Objective:Health - Are We Born to Run... Barefoot?

“It also has many brain benefits, including helping with learning, strengthening focus,..”. LOL. Mind those sharp stones if you’re barefoot. Forefoot running changes everything for the better. It’s a must.

Yeah, but not on concrete, not on the ice or snow etc. Footwear was developed for a reason. Those 'barefoot' runners need adjustment time to build up your weakened foot muscles.... but so often, we are running not on the grass or sand, but hard surfaces designed to carry trucks etc.. Our sidewalks are built in the same manner.

born to run barefoot and NAKED

Do NOT ever attempt to run on concrete, hard roads, even in professional/expensive running shoes! Ignore previous warning, if you wish to destroy your ankles, knees and hip joints.

To best make use of your running shoes or expensive military/security forces boots with Sidas Sport Insoles( in case the rainy weather made everything muddy), is to always look for a soft forest path, a grassy meadow, a grassy hill-side or a country dirt road that has been overgrown with grass.
Even if there is plenty of grass there, but you notice traditional car tread marks on the grass and black oily greasy spots, then always use running shoes: Especially, when the dirt road runs along a crop field that has been heavily sprinkled with artificial fertilizer - you can see the tiny white balls of that toxic stuff spilled onto the grass of the dirt road. Never run barefoot, where you suspect toxic poisons - oil, fertilizer, etc.. - have been spilled onto the grass.

Soccer-fields are best. Wild, natural grassy areas are riskier, because of thorny weeds and knee-destroying holes dug by dogs/animals in the ground.

Always inspect your planned running track in nature to avoid such hazards and memorize big holes.

Running barefoot on - preferably wet (soft) grass has many benefits, because it fulfills the requirement for Grounding. It can reset your 'gut nervous system' renewing your digestion and reinvigorating your meridians, just as foot massage does. It also takes care of the bad/old blood in your body, because you destroy red blood cells by foot-strike: the action of your bare foot slamming to the ground while running and so smashing your blood cells, which results in your body making new, strong, young blood cells.

Nature Reiki:

There is a 'Grand Electric Circuit' you can complete the following way. It has three components:

1. select a running day, when there is plenty of sunshine and just rained in previous days, so the grass is wet.

2. While running, take care to blink/look into the sun for less than a second. The light rays and electromagnetic energy of the Sun enters your body through the optical nerves and it flows through you.

3. Make sure you are on a soccer-field that is all real grass - not toxic astroturf!! - and your feet touches the wet grass. Splashing water is excellent, when there is a little bit more under the grass.

Repeat 1-3 a few times. Run until your feet start to hurt: you have an excellent warning system, if you are an overpronator, then usually your ankles and knees will start to hurt, after a couple miles of jogging-->interspersed with essential straight sprints for 100 or 200 yards.

This completes the circuit:

1. the light rays / 'Reiki life energy of the Sun' enters your body through your optic nerves and travel through your body, rejuvenating you.

2. 'Bad / used up Chi'-energy exits through the skin of your bare feet touching the wet ground, via Grounding. Good grounding always requires wet ground = wet grass.

If you want to maximize your wet-grass barefoot training, make a couple of stops, where you immediately do 10-20 pushups and in seconds continue to run. Make extra stops to do 10 frog jumps (1x-5x of these stops are best during the whole exercise) and as soon as you are finished, start running immediately. The aim is to recover your normal running speed and run a relatively 'long' distance, before you stop again for pushups or frog jumps. You can also carry with you a 'sunbathing beach mat', select a spot and make stops to drop onto the mat and do 10-20 situps then get up and continue running. Repeat, until you start to feel your belly muscles go totally tired.

Running on concrete will, over time, wreck your spine. It's an unnatural surface, so you need unnatural shoes to run on it. I've been running daily for 72 years and wore shoes for most of that time on pavement. No problems with feet, knees or hips. I lost 3 inches in height and that is all from spinal degeneration. It is very good to run on a grass football field barefoot. That will really help your feet.

"I've been running daily for 72 years."

For a moment I thought you were going to go into something like....

"I just flew in from Vegas, and boy are my arms tired."

If you run in my neighborhood...you stand a good chance of getting chased by cops...or some idiots dog. I ride my bike 5 miles a day...50 laps around my house...boring, but much safer...
