Walking into Alchemy: Read the Book that uses Nature and Walking as a Way to Recovery

In the current situation that we find ourselves in, even with so many possible ways to be connected and reach out to the world, we often still feel alone and lost. It's so easy to become emotionally drained and see our physical well-being deteriorating.

But Nature and walking are the best healers.

Even before the modern developments of medical science, which of course, draws its strength from medicinal plants, we have long understood that nature can cure both our mental and physical wounds. And walking in nature has so many beneficial properties.

In her book Walking into Alchemy: The Transformative Power of Nature, Amelia Marriette identifies her journey to health, both mental and physical, through harnessing the power of Nature. Amelia looked, listened, heard and saw beauty and wonder on her weekly walks. These walks helped her to recover from redundancy and depression.

"Today, I wish that one of the high-borne clouds would descend and encircle me, but they stay firmly in their sphere, and I trudge along looking down at the brown-green grass, scorched by both heavy frost and the recent snowfall. The bright sunshine, the beautiful clouds and the tree silhouettes that cast long shadows where the snow has not thawed prevent the walk from becoming a melancholy experience. And when I reach the apple tree, by sheer luck there is at the very moment of my arrival a tiny pearl of water from a melting drop of snow illuminated in a ray of sunshine, suspended from a low branch of the tree. It is a thing of pure beauty, but I only have a few moments before it will fall. No fence divides the tree from the path, so I move forward in a trance-like state to try and photograph the pearl of water before it disappears. I hold my breath as I focus the lens and capture two shots, and then it is gone."

Read the book to know how nature can have an impact on your life!
Amelia Marriette spent a year walking and a further three years of writing t produce her work. Her book is the fruit of years of experience; she found the true essence of life.  

In Walking in Alchemy, you will read about love and Nature and also, her book is enriched with references to art, culture, and the wider world.

Amelia beautifully convinces the reader that nature can and does influence our mental and physical well-being.

"I must note how beautifully you write. From a writer's point of view you took on one hell of a project - to describe the same walk 52 times and keep it interesting. Realistically speaking, there are only so many times one can read descriptions of mountains, snow, nice weather and birdies tweeting. What is really surprising is that your descriptions and reflections on life simply never become tedious. For me, it was almost like reading an exciting page-turner, something with a story. But, of course, that is exactly what it is - a story, a narrative in which there are two main characters: you and raw nature - constantly in dialogue."
Personal letter from S. Richards, South Devon.  

The book is a manual for the walker and may even help you to become a dedicated walker for life. Promoting the idea that natural healing can sometimes be more effective than medication. One small flower can light up a moment, and these moments strung together can lead to an epiphany:  

"Walking with my eyes cast down, I did not expect to see anything of real beauty, but the sight of a single bloom, a bright gold-yellow coltsfoot, transformed the moment and lifted my spirits."
