Barefoot Blyss

I started barefoot hiking (earthing/grounding) the summer of 2019. As I  was going through peri-menopause, I wanted to stimulate more brain neurons and continue to have good balance and health. It took some time  to work up the courage to go barefoot and within a few months of slowly hiking more and more miles barefoot, I was hooked. I have walked over twelve mile hikes barefoot, over trees, rocks, and sand, over mountains, and across rivers and valleys. It has changed my life... in ways I never even imagined and the health benefits are enormous.    

Just stepping outside and taking in a breath for a moment can help to reset your nervous system and calm the mind. 

Earthing  is a direct physical contact with the earth, through the feet, hands or  whole body. When you are in contact with the earth you are connecting  with the vast supply of electrons on the surface of the Earth. The  Earth's negative electrons connect with our body’s positive and “can  create a stable internal bioelectrical environment for the normal  functioning of all body systems. It resets our biological clock  regulating diurnal body rhythms, such as cortisol secretion.”1

Better  sleep, reduces pain, reduces acute and chronic inflammation,  neutralizes free radicals in the body, reduces chronic stress, increases  oxygen circulation, and is also an effective strategy against  hypercoagulable blood, and so much more. Please check out the resource  links below.1
