Walking barefoot as healing therapy
How often do you send love to your feet? These precious feet that always support you and carry you through the entire life. Give them the love they deserve by walking around in the natural gardens of Sten Lodge and Dapur Tara Flores.
Wearing shoes every day has made our feet sensitive. Our feet love to be massaged, walking barefoot touching mother earth now and then. Feet are also maps of the human body. Acupressure points in the feet correspond to glands, organs and muscles in our body. Thus, soreness in specific points of the feet reflects imbalance in the corresponding organ, gland or structure of the body.
Walking barefoot on mother earth is a beautiful way to reconnect with the earth element of the natures five elements, earth, water, fire, air and space, and thereby heal us. It is a cure for our disconnection from mother earth. It is like hugging our mother. Barefoot walking is also a good therapy for knee pain, stiffness in the joints, back pain, and digestion improves drastically by the acupressure effect of barefoot walking.
At Sten Lodge and Dapur Tara Flores you have the possibility to reconnect to mother earth, and give love and natural massage to your feet. Everything is built with natural materials, stone, bamboo, grass and wood. The paths in the gardens are made with flat stones from our land and the floors in the bamboo huts from bamboo. Itβs a perfect place for walking barefoot to heal and reconnect to mother nature.
