Walking is like meditation. It helps us to focus the mind on a subject. A lot of people go for walks in the park both in the morning and evening either alone or with various friends, family, and acquaintances. In this podcast, Dr. Rajvanshi talks about the art of walking and how long walks alone and without any company are the best to think and contemplate various issues.
