Green Balm
This is a restoring walk before it is anything else, with living green alongside.
Quieter than nearly every walk in Prague.

- You like walking somewhere that remembers.
Choose another when
- There is little to warn you about — it is a kind walk in most moods.
The trade · it stays level — no horizon to earn. Its strength is recovery, and that is what it protects.

Restorative · a pace the vagus nerve can rest in
Breathe in for 4 steps, out for 5. Keep the exhale a little longer than the inhale — that is the whole practice.
Slow down until the count softens. Sit on the next bench for a full minute. Presence is the goal — the map will wait.
