“I have been doing my daily woods walk barefoot” he said.
“Nice” I said back. Grounding is something that I teach in my Spiritual Awakening Program and promote to almost everyone. It has huge and profound impacts when done.
“Yeah, I realized that it helped me slow down a lot. I can actually feel things and I am not just walking.”
“Yea, it is really impressive, right?” I said back, knowing that he was processing his experience.
“For sure, for example, did you know that the stream is cold? It never occurred to me that the steam was that cold. It blew my mind”
“Yup, we get so much information from the earth”
“Yeah, walking around with shoes all day everyday would be like wearing thick leather gloves on my hands all day and then wondering why I don’t feel things the same.” he said.
“Or earmuffs over your ears” I said back.
“Right”
“That doesn’t even get into the electrical impact that happens when you place your body in contact with the earth. This conversation is only about sensation.” I said back.
We seek healing and knowledge from so many sources and often we overlook one of the largest and best teachers who we will ever know, mother earth. Learning to slow down, learning to feel, learning to allow the earth to heal your body, mind and soul could be life changing for you, I know it was for me. Think on it, but maybe think on it while standing or lying barefoot or naked on the earth.
