Secrets of Natural Walking™
by Laura Fan on 09/16/15
"Walking is Man's Best Medicine" & "Natural Forces Within Us are the True Healers of Disease"
Hippocrates, Father of the Modern Medicine 460BC- 377 BC
It is such a blessing to have this physical body to remind us every moment of the Divine gift we have been given. Our body is created and designed to have natural healing abilities. The Immune System we have is not a coincidence. It is part of our natural physical make up and design.
However, through the external environment and conditioning with improper food intake, visual reception and other factors, many modern human beings have suffered from physical ailments. No one in any age group is immune or invincible to diseases.
Many healing modalities have been introduced before our time -whether it be ancient medicine such as Acupuncture, Reflexology, Herbal Concoction or Alternative Energy Medicine. Nowadays, we have Western remedies that can be as toxic to our health as healing.
Thus we bring back the fundamentals. How can we restore the Natural Healing System of this physical body with the most intricate design to heal itself?
We are designed to Walk, Eat and Rest. What if we could take every step in our daily life to bring about total healing, not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally? Proper Diet and Rest, of course, would be part of the package, but there is a secret that most people are not aware of and that is embedded in our Walking!
Secrets of Natural Walking™ is a healing modality, founded by Irmansyah Effendi of the Natural Way of Living. This modality enables us to take each step and allow the natural adjustments in our body to take place to re-activate and rejuvenate our body to bring about total well being.
The basis of the Secrets of Natural Walking (SONW) is quite simple. We have energy meridians throughout our body and reflexology zones on the soles of our feet that can be stimulated and connects to our entire physical body. When we have negativity accumulated from emotions, stress, improper diet or rest, etc., our body's system will end up having blockages. The proper flow of energy as well as blood circulation, proper gland functioning, etc., will be disrupted, thus resulting in physical ailments.
SONW is comprised of 6 Keys to 1 single step of Walking. Each key when executed properly, allows for reflexology zone & meridians stimulation and natural adjustment to our skeletal structure as well as internal organs. During the adjustments, toxins and blockages will be cleansed and removed with natural healing energy in our own body through Meridians, Reflexology Zones, Nadi, and our Chakras, some of the non-physical structures which are embedded in our body.
The true secret of SONW is that it is NOT a man made skill. But the proper of way of Walking is only known to our Inner Spiritual Heart. It is as physical healing modality as it is spiritual. Unlike Walking meditation or other forms of Walking Modality, this form of practice is purely Heart Based vs. Mind Base. It focuses on the feeling and connection to our internal Higher Consciousness vs. mind focus which is limited as it's still controlled by our human brain.
Since its formal introduction in January 2014, over 200 instructors have been trained and certified globally, and thousands of participants have attended and reaped the benefits of SONW in over 16 countries globally.
Many of the phenomenal testimonials can be viewed at http://www.natural-walking.com
Some of the Before & After photos can be seen below.
My own testimonial was that I suffered from digestive system disorders on and off for a few years. Between July & October, the symptoms got heightened that I sought medical help. Doctors ordered blood tests and ultrasound exams. I even went as far as being on a complete strict diet following a low FODMAP diet. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FODMAP)
Blood tests showed abnormality in many areas, including blood count, liver enzymes, etc., but nothing was conclusive. Diet didn't seem to help either.
I practiced SONW daily diligently for 1.5 hours for 2 months. By December 2014, my blood test results returned to normal and my digestive system symptoms disappeared. In January 2015, I decided to become a certified SONW teacher to share this modality that restored my health.
SONW has become main stream in Indonesia. Below is a small testimonial clip from a recent TV interview of our founder Irmansyah and 2 participants:
Some highlights of testimonials from SONW workshop participants include:
