Do you spend much time with your shoes off, feet directly on the EARTH? On the grass, the soil, the dirt?
Or have you fallen under the spell of the media, that we need to wear shoes to protect us? Have you fallen for the story that shoes are for sanitary purposes, and that they help us walk or run better? I'm not so sure that's true...
My feet, enjoying the Earth
I came across a short film a few weeks ago called "Down to Earth" on the power of GROUNDING yourself by spending time without shoes, feeling Mother Earth on your bare feet. GROUNDING, here, is defined by putting your bare feet directly on the Earth. Feeling the connection to the Earth. Feeling the energy and the life force coming through her.
If you've learned anything about the Chakra System, you will know that our first chakra is the Root Chakra. Associated with the feelings of trust and security, the feelings of connection and groundedness. By strengthening your Root Chakra, you can feel more connected to the Earth, more stable, more secure, more confident, and more strong. It's like a tree, strengthening it's roots. It's ability to grow tall and strong and live long. A great way to get your root chakra aligned is by spending time directly in contact with Mother Earth, so this concept of GROUNDING, or EARTHING, is the perfect medicine.

"It's the most common sense thing that we are organisms that live and grow and depend entirely on the Earth while we are alive, and yet we have completely isolated ourselves from it. We're so disconnected that it becomes this weird thing if we actually slip our shoes off." - Laura Koniver M.D.
It's estimated that 95% of people are walking insulated on this Earth. Completely disconnected from the land in which we come from and depend on.
Mother Earth is FILLED with electrons. So by taking our shoes off, we can absorb these electrons, these nutrients, these anti-oxidants directly through our feet. Spending time in direct connection to the Earth is a great way to support the body, especially organ functions.
In fact, most inflammation related health disorders could be fixed, if people simply spent more time GROUNDING and connecting the the Earth.
Too many people today spend their life completely absorbed in boxes and screens. Living in box-like apartments, driving box-like cars, working in box-like cubicles, starting into box-like computers and phone screens. Where is our connection to nature? It's no wonder we are treating the Earth so badly!
So may this be a wake up call to give more love to the Earth. To give more gratitude. To appreciate more. And to love yourself more by allowing yourself quality time to spend connected to nature, shoes off, toes in the grass, dirt, or sand.
To see more about why EARTHING is so important, check out the short film "Down to Earth" posted below. I'd love to hear your thoughts or ideas on how we can help more people get back into connection with the Earth, and how we can start turning things around for our beautiful Mother, Pachamama.
