Barefoot freedom…

They separate us from Mother Earth: Shoes! A surprising thought – maybe! But true: Which part of our body would be in DIRECT touch with our environment throughout the day, 95% of the time we spend awake? Of course: Our feet! If things were normal, they would provide us with incredible sensual experiences wherever we go. IF… But most of us opt for a rather cruel alternative: Confining our feet to little – and almost always somehow ill-fitting – prisons made of the skin of dead animals or questionable synthetic materials. Wearing gloves all-year-round, even in the midst of summer, never being able to actually feel what we touch – how horrible would that be! But that’s exactly what we do with our feet, thus separating our soles from the surface of the planet which happens to be our home! How cruel, indeed! Energy can’t flow freely… And soon, deformation starts! The alternative? Living barefoot! I’m doing it for many years now, 365 days a year, and it’s truly a joyful experience! There are many aspects – I’ve written about it often – but what really counts is the sensual factor: The “barefoot feeling”! It’s not only about feeling the ground beneath our soles, every change in texture or temperature, the difference between lawn and concrete, tar and marble, but also about feeling free – in many ways! If you don’t know what I mean: Leave your shoes at home and experience the freedom, the freshness, the air touching every inch of your feet… Try it once and you’ll never want to wear those “little prisons” again!

hey man, your Yahoo group doesn't show and the link isn't good.

 

Yes, it does, and the link works. But you have to have a Yahoo ID and be an "adult" to view the homepage, and you have to join the group to read messages.

 

The link worked for me,but I had to sign in twice for some reason....hmmm why is a barefooting group under adult content?

 

only the group admin can answer that one.

 

hmm....very suspicious....not gonna click on it, or join....I like my barefooted discussion right here

 

Woah- now there's some feet that have been through the rough more than twice.

 

Right on!

 

yah, I joined

 

The energy flow when barefooting is a two way exchange between earth and the barefooter. stress out - relaxation in. Hot pavement energizes me but natural surfaces are the best. If I have worn footware for a while (very rarely) the feeling of energy flow is more noticable when BF resumes. Even the insulating properties of different surfaces can be sensed if you tune yourself into the flow between you and the earth. Try it for yourself, you'll be amazed.

 

i love the feel of cool grass on your feet. its one on the best things feet can feel.
