Modern life has completely disconnected us. From nature, from each other, from ourselves and a sense of feeling truly alive. Every day you’re surrounded by things that throw you off balance, without even realizing it. You might feel tired too often, irritated by the small things, or so stressed out you can’t get a good night’s sleep.
Close your eyes and just listen... Is there a buzz on the surface of your skin? A grainy sensation behind your eyes? An inner ache or heaviness? Your body sends you signals at every moment. If you listen closely, you’ll notice that most of the time it’s saying one thing: I’m depleted.
When we lose our connection to the Earth’s surface, it affects our whole system. The obvious (and evidence-based) solution is to go outside and stand barefoot on the Earth’s surface and recharge, sort of like plugging in your mobile phone. Easy enough, right? Wrong! Things like bad weather, limited access to private outdoor space, injury or an aversion to dirty feet prevent us from making the contact our bodies need to help us feel our best.
