oh beautiful I really want to try this. I always walk barefoot around my yard in the summer but I can imagine that truly being immersed in the woods is a whole other level

I’ve never tried grounding but it sounds like the perfect habit to start in the springtime! I feel like being barefoot in the grass, for example, was so normal as a baby and kid, but we lose that as we grow up. It definitely, for me, has to do with increasing wariness and caution of the dangers lurking beneath, but honestly that’s a lame excuse. Rationality just takes over much of the imagination and play we are naturally born with as we grow up. I can’t remember the last time I was barefoot on the grass, but I hope to start again this spring :) and shoutout to your professor who recommended it!!

it is so true, i feel like we make so many excuses for not doing some things and ignore so many things just to do others.

yesss exactly!! we opt for the artificial dangers over our natural ones too often (think social media vs stepping on a stick for example)
