"Throughout history, humans have always had regular unfiltered contact with the earth. We walked barefoot, slept on the ground, wore animal skins for warmth, tilled fields, hunted and foraged, fetched water and spent the majority of our lives outdoors.....It wasn’t until recently we adopted a mostly indoor lifestyle. We work in tall buildings with windows that don’t open, wear protective footwear, drive around in cars with WiFi, buy our groceries from the store, live in air-tight homes, sleep on mattresses above ground and constantly “pound the pavement,” so to speak...Have you ever noticed how your quality of sleep improves during a trip to the beach? How about the natural relaxation, ease and decompression that comes from walking barefoot on the grass? Or how time spent digging around in the dirt or making mud pies creates a natural calm in children?"
