I tried doing this walk 2.5 times so far and I am seriously impressed by how easily it tuned my inner state into a smiley and happy predisposition and how it had a long period of afterglow where I felt great in general and I wanted to bless everyone I see.
There was also another thing... I have a tendency to project negative energy/thoughts onto others that I seem to have picked up in early childhood. It feels like a sort of very minor version of an evil eye which I believe many people are doing unconsciously. A kind of a stream of critical thoughts directed towards others (and myself), particularly when in a bad mood or tired. I've been curbing and uprooting it for a number of years with good progress, particularly after picking up OSA - that set of practices helped to bulldoze the bloody habit into a corner!
The blessing walk felt as a practice that has all of the potential to finish this habit off. It undercuts these impulses and replaces them with sending out the energy of blessing and healing instead and, somehow, it feels like connecting me to a very natural way of being. As if something clicks into it's proper place where it belongs and with no effort involved after the initial slight push!
I honestly don't know how much effort I am going to be able to put into the course of this order but I am definitely going to at least nibble at it at the edges at any opportunity. Maybe progressing extremely slowly but progressing nevertheless. Something feels very right about this work and very timely too. It feels that even a small handful of people doing this blessing walk for 5 minutes a day could make a sizeable contribution to healing the current mess happening on the inner planes. It surely did make an impressive difference for me!
