Escaped the ordinary into nature. Stunning, serene sunrise by the lake. Off the bike. Walked barefoot across the grass. Dipped feet cautiously into crystal clear, cool lake waters. Energising, calm, peaceful. Time in nature is a great way to pamper self. Often, overlook the innocence, wonder, rawness in our natural world. Nature is an ultimate source of inspiration, illumination for the senses. Beautiful breeze against the skin, sun on the face, ground under the feet. Beauty all around. A simple flow.
Research proves barefoot contact with the earth called ‘earthing’ can offer nearly instant positive changes in a variety of physiological measures – improve sleep, reduce pain, decrease muscle tension, lower stress, bring balance, joy & playfulness. People living near green spaces – parks, green belts, tree-lined streets, rural landscapes have a much better physical & mental health. Natural practices like Japanese Forest Bathing, walking barefoot on the beach & Nordic Hygge have holistic healing effects.
Barefoot beckons…
