Walking Barefoot for Mindfulness: A Calmer, More Connected You
In a world where things are moving so fast, slowing down may feel counterintuitive, but more often than not, that is what you may be missing.
Your feet are your only connection to the Earth. It is important to allow this connection to flourish on a regular basis. A simple walk in the park, in the forest, can really help with bodily inflammation, calming the mind and also bringing peace to our nervous system.
Feet have the most number of nerve endings. This is a natural adaptation to allow humans to detect threats from a distance, to allow you to feel more and stay stable on two limbs.
Training your feet ensures you can enjoy natural movement without the risk of injury and the threat of a long term ailment.
It does not require a lot to do this.
All it takes is conscious choices when it comes to your footwear. Wearing natural shaped shoes that keep you safe but also allow for all the sensory information to flow through your system.
Along with this, walking barefoot regularly strengthens your feet and also allows your muscle mind connection to become strong.
Studies show that being barefoot regularly allows you to learn faster, be calmer and feel more connected.
Try it. It changes your world.
