What is Siddha Walk

Siddha walk is a process where you walk in a pattern of number 8 or infinity, in a particular direction and at the required speed, with the right mindset. This technique of yogic and spiritual values is being revived now by a lot of people in order to spread the message of happiness, health and peace to all.

History of Siddha walk

The Siddha walk comes from the ancient scripture of Agastya Nadi. According to him, Maharishi Agastya was one of the learned sages, who adopted this technique, researched its benefits and left the legacy of this practice for humankind. Now all of us can adopt it through his manuscript, the Agastya Nadi.

Benefits

Siddha Walk has the power to not only accelerate your physical health but also elevate your mental and spiritual well-being. It is a dynamic system based on a scientific approach, which has the potential to drastically transform the human body and mind. It also represents connection and how we transition from one task to the other, apart from demonstrating how one act or choice that you make today automatically leads to the next set of choices or tasks that we end up performing.

 

• As you walk in South - North direction, i.e. towards and against the earth’s magnetic field, the body gets energized and activates the chakras and all internal organs for normal functioning.
• Due to 8 shaped walking style, all your body parts like legs, ankles, knees, abdomen, hips, hands, shoulders, neck, head etc. move in a twist-and-turn pattern. So it gives a very good physical movement to all parts of the body when compared to regular walking.
• As you walk on bare foot, there will be pressure created at different points in your foot due to the contact with the ground and thereby activating all internal organs.
