I dream of moving to the village and working in the garden, longing without contact with the ground.

Sometimes we forget how strong we are. human connection. The Indian yogi Sadhguru says that our body is only a piece of earth. But people don’t care until they forget themselves. In order to live a healthy and happy life, each of us needs to maintain contact with the soil. Why this is so important, I will explain in today’s article.



The lack of human contact with the earth can lead to serious consequences. Weakness, deterioration of health and, as a result, destabilization of the entire bodily system. To avoid this, it is enough to start spending more time in the fresh air. Work with soil, plants and water.



Sadhguru believes that it is very easy to start the process of renewal and regeneration of the body. To do this, it is enough to contact the ground every day: just put your hands in it. The rich are spent on spas that take mud baths. However, this is not necessary, because nature outside the window is free.

When your hands and bare feet begin to touch the ground, it will change your attitude. If this contact is absent for many years, gradually the body will begin to lose its integrity. The human body is capable of many things. However, these opportunities are lost through the fault of the person.

The Indian mystic advises you to walk before lunch and dinner if possible. Ideally, you need to walk barefoot on the grass for half an hour. This helps to ground and tune in to the future meal. It may sound strange, but it is thanks to such walks that the digestive system will begin to work better. And, as a result, all the nutrients from food can be well absorbed.



Walking barefoot on the ground really becomes a new fashion trend. Moreover, there is already a lot of scientific research on this topic. For example, the international news organization Quartz published an interesting article about the soil. According to the researchers, it has a special microbiome, so it can act as an antidepressant.

Sadhguru emphasizes the importance of contact with the earth for children. This not only improves coordination and balance, but also mental abilities. On the feet is a huge number of sensitive nerve endings. And when a child's feet come into contact with the ground, he is more aware of the environment and more aware of his body.



In addition, walking barefoot helps to improve human dexterity. It also strengthens the leg muscles and reduces the risk of injury. Our body has its own memory. And it, according to the mystic, is much more important than our mental memory. If a person comes into contact with the earth every day, the body will remember that it is not eternal. This is very important for spiritual development.

A yogi gives interesting advice to people who are often sick. If your body is weakened, try sleeping on the floor. The closer a person is to the earth, the better he will begin to feel. According to Sadhguru, at least 80% of all health depends on contact with the outside world.

The connection between man and nature cannot be overstated. Water, earth, fire, air and space are the 5 elements on which the well-being of all people depends. And if a person knows how to maintain all this within himself, he is not afraid of any difficulties.



The yogi encourages people to pay more attention to these elements: “Just bring a certain sense of reverence to each of them.” The planet needs our love because it is us. Ask yourself, how long have you been in contact with nature? For many city dwellers, this has become a luxury. But in fact, this connection should be the main source of our lives.



Earlier I wrote about why it is worth taking care of the soil resources of our planet. I hope this article will inspire you at least for a day to get out in the fresh air and spend time in solitude with the outside world. Remember how much strength the feeling of the ground under your feet gives. It's expensive!
