“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair” ~ Kahlil Gibran

Between all the showers we've had in the Great Southern recently, there's been a fair few glimpses of sunshine to show that spring is on its way 🥰

Are your feet ready to say hello to nature again? 👣✨

Thank you to for the kind use of this inspired artwork from the forest floor 🍂

A great post on the many benefits of spending time barefoot 💗

Our feet absolutely love the sensation, the stimulation and the flexibility that walking on different natural surfaces gives them! 👣

Rough natural surfaces like pebbles and broken shells, stimulate the soles of the feet. It improves circulation, invigorates the nerves ends, and creates a response in the muscles and fascia that reduces tension, and often eases pain.

Soft undulating surfaces like the soft sand on the beach, provide a positive environment for exercising and strengthening the muscles in the feet and lower legs. This in turn is not only good for strength and flexibility, it also promotes the ability for good balance.

Green grass provides a natural massage for the soles of your feet, stimulating circulation and offering a different touch sensation to promote nerve function.

Walking barefoot also enhances proprioception, your body's awareness of its position in space. This can help to prevent falling, particularly as you age.

And don’t forget that this is all giving you a hefty dose of ‘grounding’ or ‘earthing’, which has the potential to reduce stress and inflammation due to the contact with the earth's negative ions; essentially acting as a form of natural therapy for your feet.

Anyway I think you get the idea … Your feet, mind and body will thank you for this. ❤️

Are you familiar with the drop in testosterone that affects men at middle age?

Last month I attended a reflexology webinar run by reflexologist, author and trainer, Lee Anthony Taylor, which covered just that.

On the course, Lee highlighted what men can experience during the male andropause, a transitional stage that happens around middle age when testosterone levels start to decline.

He explains that the changes can sometimes come as ‘quite a shock’ – especially when combined with major upheavals or trauma.

Sadly, there are some men who are simply dismissed as a ‘grumpy’ in their older age.

There are many reasons why working the reflexes on your feet can support brain health and function... here are a few of them 🧠

Thanks to Kunz & Kunz Reflexology for this great summary

What are the benefits of reflexology on brain health and function?

Reflexology has been found to have several benefits on brain health and function. Some of these include:

1. Stress Reduction: Reflexology helps to reduce stress and promotes relaxation, which can have a positive impact on brain health. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps to calm the mind and reduce anxiety.

2. Improved Blood Circulation: By applying pressure to specific points on the feet or hands, reflexology improves blood circulation throughout the body, including the brain. This increased blood flow can enhance brain function and improve cognitive abilities.

3. Enhanced Sleep Quality: Reflexology has been shown to improve sleep quality, which is essential for optimal brain health. By reducing stress and promoting relaxation, reflexology can help regulate sleep patterns and ensure restful sleep.

4. Pain Relief: Reflexology can help alleviate headaches and migraines, which are often associated with brain health issues. By targeting specific reflex points, reflexology stimulates the release of endorphins, which act as natural painkillers.

5. Mental Clarity and Focus: Reflexology can enhance mental clarity and focus by reducing mental fatigue and improving concentration. It helps to clear the mind, improve cognitive function, and increase alertness.

6. Emotional Wellbeing: Reflexology can have a positive impact on emotional wellbeing, which is closely linked to brain health. It helps to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood swings, promoting a sense of overall emotional balance.
