This summer, I had the joy of celebrating the wedding of two of my passions during two seminars in our mountain chalet: walking and support.  
 

Here, in the depths of winter, I am reminded of what we experienced in my beloved mountains with the wonderful team of partners of theWoaching. 
 

For a few hours, I slow down, and time seems to suspend for a peaceful time, a slow time where the grip of “must” loosens. 
 

This allows you to work in depth on the subject that deserves it. The subject that itches, you know, the one that I neglect due to lack of time. There, he presents himself to me in another light. 

For this, the first walk, meditative and solitary, allows the awakening of all the senses:
 

• I look, and I perceive details that I would not have seen if I moved forward preoccupied.

• I listen to noises, and I recognize sounds that I would not have heard,

• I breathe, and I distinguish smells that I would not have noticed,

• I can feel the path under my feet, and almost count the folds, the pieces of wood, the roots and the stones under my shoes.
   

This attention to the little things that mean a lot to me, here and now, significantly lowers my stress level and makes me permeable to what is happening, to what is at stake. 
 

But the greatest gift is listening deeply to each other when walking together.

The waltzing duo walk:
 

• A time side by side, 

• Then a time in single file with another, when the relief, the difficulty is felt,

• And the third beat sits, poised, to internalize as a climax. 
   

I was able to say, search, feel, move forward, search again, and find an unexpected option. And above all, by listening to others and their few precious words in resonance, I was able to discover the essential, the elixir of this time. 
 

Thus, from elixir to elixir, alternating speaking and listening throughout the day, I saw clearly where I needed to focus my attention, where I could draw an inestimable quantity of energy, where I was going to take my next small steps towards a high and ambitious aim. 

So I said, “Come on!”
 

So I started walking with my clients. I am very happy to add this modality which preciously uses time, space and the body to stimulate openness to unimagined possibilities.With a guaranteed wow effect, from what they tell me!
