Wish I had seen this sooner so it wouldn’t have helped your payout, but I’m resteeming anyway. (Doh! I always forget we can’t resteem after payout :/) This is a solid post. I’m a runner and a coach, and I’m leading a 5k training program here on Steemit and your post will be a great resource for people following along. I have never hiked on a substance like psilocybin but I can imagine it would have the effect you describe. Since I’m a high school coach I’m definitely not going to recommend that to my kids :), but I’d like to learn more about how to develop that type of body awareness.

Lol ya, that might not go over well. It's really too bad about the stigma against psychadelics since in my view they are an incredible tool for raising consciousness.
I've been looking into developing the body awareness through meditation with moderate results, I may try to do a post on that soon, though putting it into words could be a challenge. People always say to be present, and I think that's a big part of it, otherwise we are just referencing our most recent movement from the past, so we are stuck in our thoughts, a step behind reality
Feel free to tag me if you do take a crack at that post, but I will keep an eye out. In a way, I think running and hiking are good ways to develop body awareness, but not everything necessarily tunes in in that way. For example, choosing to listen to music while running. I feel like there is so much to think about that even though I love music, and it makes sense to listen while running, I just can't go there.
Ya, I don't do music while running, but I agree they are good for awareness. I think trail running is great because it's a bit more technical depending on terrain. I think having healthy feet and hips are two things great for running and two things that are tight or damaged in a lot of people who sit for most of the day.
I'll tag you or let you know, I got you followed to so I'll check out some of your stuff!
