WALKING BAREFOOT. PART I.

🔊 Listen to Post

Walking with shoes or barefoot using the WALK-RWD system generates different results. The effects that are generated through the WALK-RWD system vary according to the type of ground or road, and if you walk barefoot or with shoes.

In this post we will briefly define the different types of ground that we can use to walk barefoot, without suffering discomfort and enjoy our walks. Having direct contact with the ground causes different sensations in the walker and also generates different effects on the body, mind and spirit.

538-BAREFOOT

It is not the same to walk barefoot on the sand or on the asphalt, even if they are cold, fresh, temperate or hot.

From the origins of Humanity and surely for several hundreds of millennia, our ancestors from all corners of the world walked barefoot, on any type of ground they were traveling on: valleys, steppes, mountains, plains, forests, savannas, beaches , estuaries, canyons, ravines, summits, plateaus, wastelands, deserts, hills, cliffs, icebergs, steppes, jungles, glaciers, riverbanks, sand, coasts, marinas, dunes. They were always in contact with Mother Earth, through the soles of your feet.

In the same way that we have been abandoning walking -helping us with other means of transport- in the last millennia, so we have also covered our feet avoiding direct contact with the different kinds of ground.

Walking barefoot on different types of ground are experiences that all people, men and women should have. Practices as unexpected and surprising as that of – I miss the opportunity to say it – to walk in the rain.

I will allow myself to recommend that you carry out some practices that I have done over the last few years, when walking barefoot on different types of ground.

We choose, according to our possibilities and our desires, to make walks on the following type of ground, without any footwear and without socks:

• Grass

• Asphalt pavement

• Wood floor

• Carpeted floors

• Granite or marble floors

• Sidewalks and cobbled floors

• Soft sand (hot and cold)

• Coarse sand (hot and cold)

• Clay soils

• Rocky floors

• Pebble floors

• Ground soils, dry and wet.

• Smooth cement floors

• Glass floors

• Ice floors

• Wet floors

Care must be taken, of course, not to hurt the feet, or the soles of the feet, for being the different floors: hot, cold, rough, pointed, sharp, spiny, uneven, angular, difficult, acute, frozen, frosty.

Finally, it is advisable to lie down for a few minutes on your back and also facing the floor; and then roll over it, taking care not to hurt yourself, doing it carefully and slowly; appropriate clothing.

The more direct contact we make, during our walks, with our “earth,” the more energy flows within us.

I invite you to walk barefoot from time to time and give you energy and power, through this absorption of “energy sap” by the contact of the feet with the ground, to our whole body, to the mind and the spirit.
