Getting in direct contact with mud, sand or direct earth. This can be done by walking, running or moving on the earth’s surface bare feet. Please remember that you should be walking on natural earth and not on artificial surfaces like carpet, concrete or tar roads or any tiled surface. 

When you move on mother earth without shoes and socks, the electromagnetic waves are passed on from the earth right up to your body through the legs.  This direct contact helps to reduce the inflammation and blood glucose level. 

The tribal communities across the world still practise this. They mostly move on the earth’s surface without wearing much on their feet. There are still some civilised communities like farmers and labourers in Indian villages who spend a lot of time without shoes or any kind of foot wear in their farms.  Not because they know the wisdom but much out of practice that their elders did. Or else, due to poor financial conditions. 

Most modern homes either have no or very minimal surface available to move on mother earth barefeet. But, I would say it is important that we keep some.  Traditional houses still have such ground surfaces as an integral part of their homes where they get to spend a major part of their day performing various chores. 

Especially the ladies who stay at home drying food items or clothes in their courtyard or plucking vegetables in their kitchen garden in the backyard. 

Not having the earth available at home is, however, should not become an excuse to be not doing it. You can move to your nearest park or the ground where you can have ample opportunities for grounding or earthing. Play soccer barefeet or run barefeet or simply walk with your friend. 

You have your weekends or holidays available when you can plan to spend some time with mother earth. Mother earth is available in the suburbs or their outskirts or in the countryside. A healthy life calls for getting in close communion with nature. 

Take yourself away from the hustle and bustle of the madding crowd and get up and close with nature to experience the pure bliss that life is!
