For years, I have encouraged people to walk outside in their bare feet, especially in the morning, in order to receive the healing energy emitted from the Earth. Lately, I’ve been privy to information, by way of David Wolfe, that broadens my scope on this issue. By placing ourselves in contact with the Earth, we are not only receiving the Earth’s energy, but we are actually “gounding” (hence the name, ground) ourselves and allowing negative energies to flow through us rather than taking up residence within us.

By taking note of the habits of traditional cultures, it is apparent that their connection to the Earth was profound. One thing that many traditional cultures had in common was, whenever weather permitted, their practice of walking barefoot. There was no barrier between them and the Earth.

I can remember being challenged with keeping shoes on my children when they were small. In fact, when encountering a small barefooted child the other day, her mother was lamenting her inability to keep the shoes on her. With the knowledge that small children’s consciousnesses are largely untampered with, it would perhaps behoove us to follow their lead…and take our shoes off!

Certainly, we live in a world fraught with random frequencies and energies. We routinely use computers and televisions, cell phones and microwave ovens; not to mention the electrical power lines that criss-cross the landscape. How wonderful it is to realize that there is a very simple (and gratifying) way to keep these energies moving in order to sustain as little harm as possible from them…Simply take your shoes off and glorify in the feel and texture that comes with walking barefooted on the Earth.
