Let’s understand grounding through feet sensory awareness!
You perhaps heard about the concept of grounding/earthing, i.e. activities that electrically reconnect you to mama earth.
Today though, I want to talk to you about the concept of grounding through the lens of your feet’s abilities to grip the earth.
Over the years, one of the most common things I’ve seen among my clients has been the lack of sensory awareness of their feet. And it always amazes me how often people fake feet motion by moving their ankles instead.
Feeling solid beneath your feet is one of the most important things you can relearn, which leads to:
〰 fewer knee issues
〰 stronger legs
〰 better balance
〰 improved overall posture
The way your feet grip the ground sends a sense of assurance or lack of it to your nervous system. That’s why having a solid footing can not only improve your overall movement pattern but also could help you feel calmer and more in control.
