Oh I am SO excited to share this next episode of The Psychospiritual Podcast with you, because in it I talked to Anya of Anya's Reviews, about all things related to barefoot shoes. I found the conversation SO fascinating!
She shared about her own journey of experiencing a lot of foot pain, to devoting her time to explore and experiment in a very nuanced way to develop strong and healthy feet, and how her research led her to be able to support other people on their own unique journeys of reconnecting with their feet.
She shared about what barefoot shoes are, and how each person's journey to foot health, freedom and presence is so difference and nuanced. She offered an invitation to deeply trust children and to support them to stay connected with their own healthy feet.
We talked about how 'normal' shoes can lead to dissociation, and how we can invite more presence back into our lives on this foot journey. We also discussed the history of pointed and heeled shoes, about class and about The Disconnected Domination Culture. We talked about perceptions of shoes, of beauty and aesthetics, and of valuing all of our needs here.
Anya also shared about anatomical socks and toe socks, as well as the change in our posture that happens when we walk without shoes.
