Did you know that the simple act of walking on the grass barefoot makes you feel better? Recent studies explain that the Earth is full of wonderful and potent energy and, when we have barefoot contact, the Earth's free electrons can be absorbed by our body acting as antioxidants. This energy can nourish your body, mind and soul. This concept is known as grounding! Interesting, right?
The connection with the grass (or the land) has several surprising health benefits as in vision, as there are points under the feet to which the nervous system of the eyes is connected. Also when you walk barefoot in the grass, the level of endorphins (well-being hormones) in the body increases and stress can be reduced by up to 62% according to research. (You can learn more on Earthing Institute’s Webpage).
A relaxing and moderate walk in the grass stabilizes your body's circadian rhythm, helping you get a better night's sleep. In addition to balancing the body's hormones, improving blood viscosity, increasing brain power, etc.
The healing power of nature; all we need to do is make an effort to leave the office or home to enjoy your serenity, even for a few minutes in the middle of the day, or early in the morning before the children wake up, or just for the weekend.
Artificial grass slippers are sold here in Los Angeles to simulate the feeling of walking barefoot over green grass.
They advertise the idea that you can walk in the grass, anywhere, anytime. Look how privileged we are in Brazil. There's plenty of green. Take advantage of the greener Brazilian grass and go for an energizing barefoot walk over there.
Namaste, with love
