Basically, those of us who spend a great deal of time each day plugged into electronic gadgets (guilty!), and who are rarely standing barefoot on the earth (guilty again!), are physically and spiritually disconnected from our Source Energy. The way to regain a sense of balance is to, literally, take off our shoes and walk upon the earth. "Rubber-soled shoes have been the worst invention of mankind," David Wolfe states (paraphrase). "You know that, during a lightening storm, if you are in your car you are probably going to be safe from electrocution. Why is that? It's because of the rubber wheels. Rubber does not conduct electricity. So", what do we wear on our feet? Most of us wear rubber-soled shoes. As a result, we cut ourselves off from the vital energy that the earth gives us freely, every day."
Given that we are electric beings (more than chemical beings), it makes sense to pay attention to what we expose ourselves to in terms of electricity. I spend several hours each day in front of a computer, and I carry around a cell phone, and I also watch TV on occasion. I also listen to the radio while in the car 2 hours each day, and am exposed to microwaves, other people's cell phones, and so forth. Knowing that all of these electric "beams" are coursing through my body each day, I bought a "Q-Link," which I wear around my neck several times each week; it's intended to protect a person from all of those harmful electric waves, and sustain one's own energy field, or aura. I do feel like I have more energy when I am wearing it: I am more focused and clear about what to do. I finish tasks more quickly. And my head feels light and spacious. It's quite amazing. I am still experimenting with that technology.
But, back to the earth. The basic idea about walking barefoot is this: The earth emits a "negative charge" that actually helps to balance us, inside and out, as electrical beings. All of the technology we deal with each day emits "positive" electrons, which wouldn't be so bad if we then balanced those with negative electrons; but we are usually disconnected from the earth by our rubber wheels or rubber-soled shoes, so the positive electrons prevail, leading to all kinds of problems with our health.
Now, these labels of negative and positive may seem counter-intuitive, since "negative" (which carries the connotation of "bad") actually means something good; but this is not a zero-sum game. We are speaking of BALANCE of both negative and positive, yin and yang. When we are out of balance, we have inflammation of the joints or a certain organ in our body. When we are out of balance, our hormones act in ways that are aggravating, especially at certain times of our lives!
When the earth's negative ions can enter the soles of our bare feet, they recharge us, so to speak, with the natural energy that is already within us. It's like plugging yourself into the right electrical wall socket. That's why people who are depressed get better when they walk on the beach. I have heard this before, but the little detail that was left out of that prescription is that you need to walk BAREFOOT on the beach. Some people still keep their shoes on, and that is no good. "You have to be skin on skin with the earth," says David Wolfe.
So, after spending about 3 hours on my laptop at a coffee shop today, I went to the beach across the street, and took off my shoes and socks. It was about 40 degrees outside, and cloudy. The sand was icy cold, and at first the sensation of cold and wet sand preoccupied my mind. But, after about 10 minutes of strolling slowly and watching the little waves roll in, and the seagulls flutter about, I became more aware of the sensation of the sand under my feet. It was hard as concrete in some places, and gave way in other spots ... It was grainy and smooth, cold and strong. I stood still for a few moments, and actually felt some bubbling energy entering my left foot! I have no idea what that was, but I don't think it was a clam with indigestion.
I want to return this weekend again, and walk for a little longer. You should try it, and see for yourself if that experience re-energizes you!
Here's the YouTube with David Wolfe explaining all of this (10 min, 50 seconds (hit the back arrow when finished, to return to this page!):
