JANGSAENG WALKING PRINCIPLE 4, Walk with Joy
If you bend your head backward or forward, the weight of the head pushes down on the cervical vertebra, and it negatively impacts breathing. The cervical vertebra straightens when pulling the chin slightly outward and gazing ahead, then the energy flow into the brain becomes smoother.
As we know that Ilchi Lee is brain educator and he said lifting or lowering the head significantly impacts the body. The neck is a crucial pathway where the energy and blood of the body flow into the brain through the meridians, blood vessels, and nerves. Putting the head backward so much that the chin is lifted or putting the head down deeply blocks the passage from the body to the brain, and the energy and blood stop circulating well. The weighty burden on the cervical vertebra causes bad circulation, muscle aches, and eventually imbalance of the entire spine. When we look at people walking joyfully with their chin up, we too feel good. When you walk joyfully, your mind and body will become young as well. Straighten your back and walk with confidence and joy. But either putting too much stress on the sole, making a loud footstep sound, or walking so lightly that you can barely tell if your sole is touching the ground scatters the energy of the Dahnjon. Therefore, pay special attention to keeping your footsteps moderate in speed and force.
