Imagine yourself walking through the forest, your feet soft and pliable. Picture them naturally cupping the earth as you step, and lightly springing as you lift.
Feel vividly through your feet to the earth below. Imagine your awareness extending deep through the soil to the tree roots and the mycelial web that feeds them. Feel yourself connected: fully grounded, and yet, light on the earth.
This is just the beginning of the awareness you can have with your amazing feet. - Repeat with the other foot.
