Connecting with the Earth

[RyukaAscendant]

Has anyone noticed when you wear thicker soled shoe, such as boots it's harder to connect? I'm still somewhat out of practice on a few things and was wondering if anyone had advice or encountered this.

Yup. I've found the best fix is go barefoot. If that's out, I'll do a grounding meditation, and if it's really, really bad, I'll press my back against a pine or oak tree. Sometimes just sitting amongst a grove of trees and slipping off my shoes for 10 minutes helps. The short-form is to press the palms of your hands against the ground or a tree. I've experimented with casting circle by shuffle-walking in an unbroken, widdershins circle spiraling inward to center, & bythe 3rd time around my feet felt so heavy I could hardly drag them. Granted, it's not practical to shuffle in spirals just walking down the street, or on-the-job.

Work boots may be reinforced with a protective steel shank, so you're standing on a metal strip, or the toes are encased. I dunno how to counteract that...maybe a hematite Ring could be tied to your shoe? Hematite anklet? And if the strip is aluminum...? Maybe water-filled, cushion insoles would be sufficient to break contact in either case?

There is a reason it is said: "Take Off Thy Shoes, This Is Holy Ground"

I normally practice with my shoes off at home and I work in a warehouse that requires I wear steal toed boots. I've been trying to see if I can manage to connect even with them. Most regular shoes don't cause too much issue but I've been trying to push some of the bounds.

Experiment with a magnet in the toe. See if it makes a difference. Im curious myself.

I've not been able to try that. However, as I'm taking time when I don't have my boots on to work on it it is getting easier.

Are you familiar with the copper bracelets said to relieve arthritis? There is also a popular diode bracelet on the market too, and it does work. So, I wonder if a copper anklet might work...or put an old, all copper penny in each boot. Reminds me of the penny loafer shoes. Copper is used in orgone accumulators. There must be a reason. its not magnetic but a good conductor.

I like to stand in the rain. I hesitate to go barefoot, due to my propensity for personal injury.
