Feet on the ground

         I wear shoes all the time outside.  Hard not to, we have rattlesnakes, yellowjacket wasps, scorpions, etc.

          But when I am not in some big hurry, I will go out in my yard with my pups, sit under
a Japanese umi plum I grew from seed years ago, in it's shade and take off my shoes and socks.

           Just sit bare feet on the grass. My lawn is not just grass, it has clovers, dandelions, bare spots, wild sweet peas around the edges, chickens on the other side of the fence. I love it.

          My homestead was settled in the 1920's, I am sure earlier. But I got to know the son of the folks who lived here then. He just passed away this year. Was such a great guy.

        I still take care of the old apple tree, Concord grape, and unknown wine grape his mother planted way back then. Their old house is long gone. Ours is over a bit closer to the road.
Not fancy, the road is one lane dirt, maybe 4-5 cars go up and down it daily, sometimes not that many.

       It is sanctuary to my husband and I, our pets, chickens, deer, and quite a variety of wildlife on 45 acres of forest.

        Mostly peaceful. I do energy work to keep it that way. After all, it's my piece of the planet to care for.  My occupied part is full of gardens, fruit trees, roses, a greenhouse, a stock tank water lily
garden, and a place for my husbands hobbies, and for both of us to just relax and find peace.

        I raised my children here, moved here in 1978.

         It has been the perfect place for a witch to be, well herself.  My heart is here.

         So barefoot I sit, listening to our Earth Mother. Often she fills me with peace, I get drowsy.
My guides may speak, or not. My main guide, Van, may comment on some thing here or there, not hugely meaningful, or he may pick up some discussion we have been having some days ago.

          I may smoke one of my kinnickkinnick cigarettes, made with my machine, partly including
organic tobacco, or I may sip ice water, etc. depends.  I may just read a book. But I do not have any electrical devices on, or near me when I do this.

           But I have bare feet on the ground.  I need the grounding.

             My life has been lucky, it has been tragic, it has given me huge diversity and insight.
As an Empath, as a Wiccan witch, as a psychic, intuitive, what ever the hell it is called now a days
It has allowed me to understand myself, be brave, be comforted in the fact that I have a place
I can find peace.

              Slowing it down on purpose to reset myself.

              I know not everyone can do that. But try to find a spot in your yard, in a park, in your house, apartment, condo, or what have you to sit and drop all the baggage the society we live in heaps on your shoulders.

              Try the shower of light exercise, then sit for 10 minutes or longer if you can.
Do a disconnect.  Shut off the electrical close to your body, cell phones, computers, tv.

                Do it for a week, see how you feel.
