Barefoot Living
I allow my feet to do what they are designed to do.
- I go barefoot deliberately.
- I do not take my shoes off, therefore I do not put shoes on in the first place.
- I go barefoot to symbolize party and solidarity with all the other creatures of Earth, none of whom wear shoes.
- I go barefoot as an expression of sensitivity and compassion.
- I go barefoot as a practice of awareness and mindfulness.
- Every barefoot step I take is an observance of the planet we all live on.
- I have learned that every step is different.
- I have learned that dirt and grass are better than concrete.
- I have learned that moss in the woods is better than carpet.
- I have learned that shade feels different than a sunny spot.
- I have learned that snow can feel warm.
- Everyone is different.
- I have learned to accept people as they are and not ask them to conform to my way of thinking, doing, believing, or being.
- Pseudoscience of Earthing
- Being barefoot is not related to the pseudoscientific belief of Earthing (Grounding)!
