Barefoot for Health: A Natural Remedy!

I never thought of being barefoot as connecting with the earth. i just don't like wearing shoes to me they've always felt like prison. i like being free. i thought i was the only one whose mother complained about them being barefoot growing up and still now when people come to my house or i'm about to leave people tell me to put shoes on and sometimes won't let me out without shoes it makes me feel like a child lol. i think ill start thinking more about being barefoot as connecting with the earth. maybe it will help me mentally THANKS! xoxo

My mother use to complain all the time that I didn't wear shoes. As a young child I would even hide them so I wouldn't have to were them.I am 43 now and even today I refuse to wear shoes unless I have to go to the store. As soon as returning home or getting into the vehicle I take them off.The snow doesn't stop me either. Fact I love to stand in the snow for a while and just feel it. If I do have to wear shoes, I have started making my own. Moccasins are great. I refuse to get store bought moccasins that have the rubber sole. The connection to the earth is not the same. I never understood any of this till the last few years. Give it a try. It's wonderful. Now to check out the sun gazing when this winter sky decides to let the sun shine. Guess I've kinda done it all along, again not knowing what I was doing. Just instinct I guess. Many Blessings

My mother always used to tell us that walking on wet sand or wet grass in the early morning was very energizing and healing. Not sure where she had heard about it...
