Walking barefoot is a great way to reconnect back with “mother earth.” When you walk barefoot on the grass, beach, mud or soil, you not only physically connect with the earth, but you also improve your health. It’s like a reflexology and yoga session for your feet, all rolled into one. An investigation into earthing (walking barefoot on the earth) found that earthing helps red blood cells decrease clumping, which decreases the viscosity of the blood, which in turn decreases the risk of heart…

and when European colonists came from Europe, they waged war with them as well. However, they always showed kindness and respect to the Earth and all the animals and creatures that walked upon it.
