Know Thy Self

  • “Know thyself” Stop a moment and think about your feet and follow me in seeing the path in which we are connected to Mother Earth through them. Your feet just like the rest of your body the skin produces natural oils. The difference however is the amount of bacteria that hangs out at the feet. Your feet when put in shoes, closed in and sweating (or not) end up with ailments like fungus and athlete’s foot also a form of fungus. These things take moisture, warmth that bacteria can’t escape and allows for it to grow on you. Why does this happen in this area? Let’s start first with most of the time the body knows what it’s doing. The body knows it needs to get rid of things like bacteria, viruses, and other foreign bodies that don’t belong in your body. Now follow the connectivity. Start with a little Anatomy and nurse mom stuff. The lowest point of the body generally of course while standing is the feet. When you get a cut or wound you are suggested to hold it up above the heart to keep from having excessive blood flow. Our blood cells are targeted at the maintenance of our body white blood cells, red blood cells they have their duties and responsibilities within our body. Our cells know where things are supposed to go and what they are supposed to do. Carrying of bacteria to the feet we get to excrete it from our body just like we are able to excrete other such things from our body i.e. waste products. In doing so you stop and think of the evolution of our bodies there are still many things that are Basic Instincts. (No this is not about eveloution vs. Creationism. You cannot deny that we have evolved since we have been created.) Removing bacteria from us is key. Our connection to Mother Earth is truly magnificent if you look at it from different perspectives. Which, shoes protect our feet from damage and harm however we also hold in bacteria and keep it from leaving us. Mother Earth, as you walk bear foot receives our bactieras. If the soil is high in bacteria and such, it helps plants to grow and produce. Stop and take your shoes off every so often and walk around out in the grass (of course nowadays you must be mindful of safety precautions, glass, nails Etc). However mother earth needs the bacteria’s and such that come out of us to be able to thrive. We are in charge of taking care of Mother Earth so that Mother Earth is still here for generations to come and able to take care of us. In the end if we practice a little of the old ways in natural aspects we can start to heal Mother Earth so that she can mend and stick around for many Millennia to come. Our bodies take care of us and the environment around us if we put our minds to it just as the Busy Bee takes care of the flowers and the trees by pollinating them while also going about and taking care of themselves together the nectar they need to make the honey so they can feed. It is so very unfortunate how Society now is so bent on luxuries and lazy comforts that we are unable to be bothered to go and walk on Mother Earth as we are meant to be. (Side note, in the Bible God created man from the dust of the mother earth and then created woman from the rib of man. Does it not make sense that we belong touching the Earth as often as we can. She is made to take care of us and we to take care of her. Adding the fact that we also we're interested to take care of the mother earth whom ever so nicely gave birth To us At the beckoning of creator God who gave us this wonderful Eden and yet we destroy.) ~Blessed Be~ •~♡Priestess Sara♡~•
