There’s another powerful benefit of skipping which is that it adds joy and positive energy to the world.  Seeing adults consumed by the joy of skipping sends a compelling message about the power of the spirit over fear.  When you learn to turn off your logical mind and get lost in the spirit of skipping, it’s like exercising a muscle that will help you deal with other fears.  As external events become increasingly intense, that kind of inner strength will be more important than ever.  ~Kim Corbin, founder of iskip.com
