Feet
Warm today… but wet and windy… One of those days when you look out of the window and cringe… have to drag your feet yourself out of the door…but when you do and amazing thing happens. You find actually that the day is warm and although the light subdued – it has a softness to it which makes for a relaxing trip to the river.
The Goosanders were out in force this morning, obviously making the most of the warm day. Amazes me that they have adapted their feet so that they don’t feel the cold of the water – sometimes wish I could do the same! Not so today though, no blue cold bitten feet for me today, the river was in a friendly mood!
Yup I know – if you will go walking around barefooted your feet will get cold. But you have to admit that there is nothing so ‘grounding’ as walking barefooted.You literally ‘feel’ your connection to Earth. You walk differently and feel differently.
I’ve always loved it.
In spirituality feet are associated with being Earthed or grounded, although in truth your entire physical body can be utilised for this purpose…still makes sense – feet – near the floor when upright after all. Consciously being aware of your feet and connection to Earth helps you feel strong and secure. Provides you with a strong anchor for security and also being essential for your growth and physical well being. Just like the roots of a tree.
