Lately, I find myself wanting to be barefoot. Not that this is unusual for me, I've always preferred being barefoot, but noticing the NEED to be barefoot is new to me. I've been finding myself hating the feel of shoes. I honestly loathe having them on ... it feels foreign and constricting. And I notice the strong desire to plant my feet deep into the earth. Today I even played tennis - barefooted! And I certainly have been getting my fair share of pedicures. What 's up with that???
On the contrary, I recently met a man who NEVER goes barefoot. I mean NEVER!!! He always wears slippers in the house, shoes outside and water-shoes in the lake. When I asked him to try and walk ten feet barefoot - he cringed!!! And I thought, "What's up with that???"
Why do some people LOVE being barefoot while others can't touch the ground? AHA! Being barefoot is very GROUNDING. When I thought back to this man's life I realized he was in the middle of a major transition ... he was "up in the air." No wonder he can't touch the ground! And yet, touching the earth (GROUNDING himself) may be exactly what he needs to settle down.
Being barefoot places us in touch with the dirt of the earth, with Gaia's life-force. It brings us to that place where our roots can settle down and build strength. I sense, therefore, that my need to be barefoot is directly related to my need to be grounded. And it comes at a perfect time! With the New Earth vibration manifesting in so many ways, it is important to anchor our energy to Gaia, Mother Earth. It seems the more we feel the vibrational change ... the more we need our feet planted. The more the vibration goes up ... the more we need the earth to settle down. Otherwise, we will be "up in the air" being tossed about on the winds of change.
Have you ever walked through mulch that is decomposing and felt the heat and moisture on your feet? It's fabulous! It's so incredibly grounding. If you are feeling unsettled, find a bit of earth and let your feet sink in - the "earthier" - the better. Imagine you are planting the seed to become a mighty oak. Allow yourself to settle down and feel your roots taking hold and being nourished. Just relax and enjoy the steady warmth.
Thank you, Gaia, for providing us the grounding energy ... the very platform we need to settle into this new vibration.
