I mean sole… “on average we take 10,000 steps a day, logging some 115,000 miles in a lifetime, the rough equivalent of 4 times around the planet… with 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 tendons, muscles and ligaments per foot” – soles of your feet are referred to as your second heart for a good reason. Caring for them and practicing standing poses gives you strength and stability. In fact, according to a reflexologist, walking barefoot in the grass (or how about sandy beach:) decreases anxiety and the blues by as much as 65% as that sensation releases those feel good endorphins… so there’s so much to be said for yoga toes – spread them out and feel the earth beneath you. It’s so grounding. Ever since I saw a documentary on NHK (kind of like PBS of Japan) about the benefits of reflexology I had been intrigued… so this yet another bible:) Thank you BFF for always knowing my interests and aiding my explorations.
Wildcrafted soaps with beautiful scents of the outdoors… of the trees, the forest. If you can’t get to the forest for your sanity, then at least these scents and your imagination can take you there. While at it, how about a Tree Pose? Last night, Vinyasa yoga and today Moon Yoga… practice, practice… Then a practice of no striving with Restorative… Get your yoga in – even 20 minutes… it’s all good.
