Publisher's Synopsis
You are being invited to return to nature. Feet are the foundation of our body and our soles gift us with a direct connection to Earth's infinite healing powers. When we wear shoes, the soles cut us off from grounding in nature and impede proper foot function. In this book, Barefoot Sue shares stories about her personal re-wilding journey to a barefoot lifestyle, while living in a cottage on the shores of Lake Couchiching. This book offers a common-sense approach to inspire you and coach you in integrating a Barefoot Practice in your life. You'll better understand the benefits of earthing, strengthen your feet, enable more efficient movement of your body, engage an approach to anti-aging and improved posture, and return to a more natural state. Barefooting is the perfect antidote to the effects of civilization. Barefoot Sue is the author of the best-selling book My Camino about her journey walking 500 miles across the north of Spain. Having returned to the path numerous times she is seen as an expert Pilgrim who coaches and guides groups. An internationally acclaimed keynote speaker Sue has facilitated barefoot and Camino workshops worldwide. As the designer and founder of Barebottom Shoes, the first ever true sole-less grounding footwear, she pitched her business idea on the renowned TV reality show Dragons' Den. Sue's barefoot lifestyle is centered at her lakeside cottage in Canada, and she can often be found walking, running, climbing trees or doing yoga in the forest. The book includes a 'How To' guide for starting a Barefoot Practice in your life. Since Sue has also walked the Camino numerous times alone and guiding groups, she's included a Chapter on preparing to walk the Camino in your barefoot some of the time to improve strength and reduce the possibility of falls or being unbalanced.
