Sometimes it is very difficult to find time to connect oneself with the Earth when there is so much going on in the immediate environment. There is so much stress going on in everyone’s lives that it is almost impossible to find time for you. You have to wake up early in the morning, work all day and even all night. People find it hard to accept other people’s views and arguments because they think that they have spent a whole lifetime preaching what they found was right and now someone else has come up with an entire new thing and demands that he has to be heard.
We as humans and as a society are becoming less tolerant, because we do not understand what work are we basically here for. To earn and to satisfy one’s needs are agreeable but to lose yourself and your life in between somewhere is not worth all the time. You might have heard by people and read it at different places that life and the experiences we gain throughout is much more worthy than the money that we have in our pockets. So to grab your senses someday and to take a day off just so you can do something completely crazy is what life should be about. To connect with yourself, to connect with your roots, with nature is all about de-stressing yourself. For your surprise, there are plenty of benefits of walking barefoot also known as ‘earthing’ and to walk barefoot on grass might be the best of them all.
