Sunday morning dawned into a sunny blue grey cloudy bright day … Anadi and I ran to Battersea Park for the start of another adventure…
We stopped there for a while, and I made a little video about grounding barefoot on the earth.
We are all made up of atoms, the whole universe is…
Nikola Tesla said – “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”
In our body there are millions and trillions of these atoms … And every single one of them has a nucleus with protons and neutrons inside it… The protons have a positive electrical charge and the nutrons are neutral.
All around the nucleus there are electrons in equal balance to the protons and nutrons; these electrons have a negative charge – and so the body keeps in perfect balance and is as healthy as can be…
However when electrons break free, then they have a positive charge which now isn’t a good thing!
They become free radicals, which can damage our cells and contribute to lots of the diseases we know about in today’s society…
In the past we all used to wander about with our feet bare – this kept us connected to the earth’s energy.
Mother Earth has a negative charge…
But now – in general – we don’t do this anymore. We inhabit homes and offices – and we wear shoes!
There is much research into the positive effects of grounding – it is said that it can help neutralise these free radicals in the body.
Some say that they have noticed positive effects on their sleep, their pain and stress levels from standing with naked feet on the earth…
For me it is simply a lovely feeling!
It feels free, I feel childlike…I like wearing no shoes, the lightness. The way my feet can move as they wish.
I have less pain in my body – but suspect it is due to the movement of my feet rather than the earthing; but who knows!
But for me it is a lifestyle choice rather than truly motivated by any health benefits.
It is simply a part of my expression
I met a woman in the middle of Richmond park, sometime ago now.
I was running around without any shoes on….She was pushing a pram; I was lost…! She pointed me in the right direction and then asked me about my bare feet…
After I had in essence said; ‘I love it’…. She said ‘But I love shoes; you probably think that’s bad…’
‘No no’ I said ‘ If you love shoes, that’s a great thing, we all love different things; different things speak to us and express us, and we must honour that…’
We must to our own selves be true.
After making ‘the film ‘ in Battersea Park, Anadi and I ran to Sloane Square; then a lap of Hyde park – on into Green park and straight down to Buckingham Palace, where we rather incredibly arrived on the dot of 11am…. Time for the changing of the guard…
I was immediately reminded of the poem…
‘They’re changing the guard at Buckingham Palace; Christopher Robin went down with Alice…’I was probably about six, or maybe eight years old the last time I saw this unique, and very British spectacle… And also when I knew more of the words to the poem…!
My little sister Rosy and I ‘did’ all the London sites with our parents, when we were young. There are photos of us at Trafalgar Square covered with the pigeons we were feeding…
Scattered people were watching the scene too, families with small children gathered, cyclists had stopped, runners like us, looking through the bars; listening to the crunch crunch crunch of the soldier’s boots on gravel as he marched and turned, marched and turned again….
All around people making their through the day, slowly or swiftly
All of us together, in the sun… So many lives, so many stories; so may tales to tell…
All united by this gift called life… All playing our part.
On the stage.
Learning the words as we go; making up the moves… Creating the scenes again and again.
Until the grand finale
When the curtain falls… On this particular play…
From birth to death…To re birth
The show goes on…
