Running long distance with awareness of breath and right posture can become a natural meditation practice. Running beyond your normal stamina will relieve you of self-delineating ideas and make you a whole naturally rich force of life. Long distance running is one of the open secrets of personal happiness and success.
However, in modern society running is becoming extinct from day-to-day lives. By not running, we are killing our own natural potential. By not running we are ignoring a powerful tool given to us by nature for our physical and psychological empowerment.
