GIFT BOOK MINDFUL THOUGHTS FOR WALKERS
From epic long-distance walks to a short stroll in your lunch break, walking gives us chance to free the mind and “enables us to understand our place in the world of nature,” writes Buddhism and Hinduism lecturer Adam Ford. This beautifully illustrated pocket-sized book encourages the walker to pause for thought and simply be in the moment. Ford explores how walking can improve our mental health and reflects on how walking in natural environments awakens our senses. Ford also encourages walking for the sake of walking as a way of momentarily leaving the busyness of daily life behind. Carys Matthews
