Walking backwards is not neccessarily something we do on a regular basis, but if you ever have a chance to explore the idea, I would suggest it. I will give a brief warning however, please do not attempt this if you have vertigo or a chronic habit of losing balance as it could result in critical injury. Granted, we were told to use a buddy system to have someone guide you, but even then I do not recommend it.
When walking backwards there is a feeling of lightness, a free falling feeling that makes you see things in a different way. There are certain aspects of the world you do not normally pay attention to when walking forward, and while I hear people say to put the past behind you I will say this in return, "sometimes things that have been past are the most beautifull.
The world is a three dimensional living organism which numerous sides, angles and colors. It is impossible to see everything always looking infront of you. To me the purpose of walking backwards is to see things all around you even though you are headed in a generally directon. Get to whre you are going by all means, but next time you do, look around. There may be something new and exciting you have never noticed before even though you walk the same path every day,
