I was led to your post because of my interest and involvement in Nordic walking. The experience you describe while walking is one I share, and one of the biggest reasons I like it. I’m always amazed after going Nordic walking how peaceful and “in the zone” I feel. I wonder whether the bilateral/quadripedal motion, which I understand engages both sides of the brain, contributes to this..

I’m so impressed with your blog, and follow similar information in the news. Thank you so much for providing this very thoughtful and interesting digest of brain science topics!
