What’s Your Idea? Should we walk barefoot?
We all know that people used to walk barefoot at first and
it has been like that for centuries. Back in those days’ people didn’t have
anything to protect their feet, so they walked barefoot wherever they go. Even
today, some people have habit of walking barefoot, which is very good, because
when we put shoes on we affect the most essential human sense – the sense of
touch.
So, the question remains – Why is walking barefoot so
important for the human body? We can answer that for you. Our hands and feet
are connected to particular organs in the body, and by walking barefoot we
stimulate these points and we improve the function of those organs.
The flow of energy in the body
You may have heard about the word “chi”. In China it’s
referred to the vital energy which flows through the human bodies. In India
they have another word for it. They call it “Prana”. But, you don’t have to
remember its name; all you should know is how that vital energy affects your
entire body. The vital energy or “chi” runs through our, so called, meridian system.
The meridian system is similar to the blood stream. The proper flow of this
energy means that our organs get all the vital energy they need. If there is
corked meridian, it can affect the particular organ and eventually it can cause
some kind of health problem.
This is extremely important for you to know. The ends of
these meridians are located in your feet. When you walk without any shoes, you
stimulate them and you “massage” the organs in your body. This is the best
acupressure massage, because you are reviving the energy flow through your
meridians.
Acupressure Massage
There is other option is you can’t walk barefoot.
Acupressure can really help you with that. You should massage your hands and
feet for 5 minutes every day to improve your health and it will boost the vital
energy through your body. You should know that these massages require a strong
pressure, but not too strong. The best option for you is to practice your pressure
on your kitchen scale. The pressure should be about ¼ kilogram to 2-3
kilograms. All you need is to focus on the pain spots and you will do just
fine.
This procedure may seem simple, but the benefits of
acupressure massage are more than amazing. Acupressure massage is great in the
treatment of several health conditions, such as: sinus issues, indigestion,
poor energy, tension, frequent infections, heart failure, hormonal imbalance,
etc. This type of massage will provide your organs with the energy they need to
function properly.
Ground yourself
The ground gives you the energy you need. It’s the same as
the sun, which provides the Vitamin D for you. Walking barefoot on the ground
involves connection with the natural bioelectrical field on the ground. You
should walk barefoot everyday and renew and strengthen this connection.
A recent study has found that grounding increases the
surface charge of red blood cells. As a result, the cells avoid clumping, which
decreases blood viscosity. High viscosity is a significant factor in heart
disease, which is why so many people take blood thinning aspirin each day to
improve their heart health. Another study has found that grounding may help
regulate both the endocrine and nervous systems.
You should start walking barefoot for 5-10 minutes every day
and increase the time you spend walking barefoot gradually. And eventually, you
will have no difficulties with walking barefoot. Exercising barefoot outdoors
is one of the most wonderful, inexpensive and powerful ways of incorporating
grounding into your daily life and will also help speed up tissue repair, as
well as easing the muscle pain you sometimes get from strenuous exercise.
