Topic: Breathing Through One's FEET especially when Feeling Discomfort
I'm QUOTING from http://commonground.ca/iss/0705190/cg190_wisdom.shtml
"Following the great Asian tsunami of 2004, caretakers of several of the wild animal reservations in the island countries of Sri Lanka, Malaysia and the rest of the area reported that some 10 minutes before the great wave struck, the animals in their reserve all stampeded away from the shore and to the highest ground. A similar account concerned a group of elephants kept by a luxury tourist hotel on a Malaysian beach and trained to carry visitors on a sight-seeing tour through the jungle and along the shore. The beasts were secured near the hotel, each with one leg tethered by a chain linked to a post driven deep in the ground, not so much to keep them from wandering but to reassure the tourists who clustered around to feed them and gawk. Several minutes before the tsunami struck, the elephant that was then on his trek and near the beach suddenly turned and rushed back to the tethered group, trumpeting loudly, much to his driver’s and passenger’s alarm. The maverick then began helping each elephant pull its tether out of the ground, after which they all rushed noisily to the highest point of ground in the area. Many from the native population rushed after them in alarm just as the great wave struck.
Anthropological studies of such people as the Kalahari !Kung, Malaysian and Australian Aborigines show strong intuitive capacities traceable even today among the scattered remnants of such societies. The famous explorer, anthropologist and author Laurens van der Post wrote a moving account of a group of !Kung dying of starvation and thirst in the Kalahari desert. Van der Post’s guide and driver was a !Kung who had left his ancient ways to team up with van der Post, but his intuitive heart intelligence, an indelible characteristic of the !Kung, remained intact.
One day, having found a clump of desert trees and made camp for the hottest part of the day, the !Kung driver informed Laurens that he heard a group of wandering tribesmen calling for help. “They have had no food or water for days,” he told Laurens, “and we must prepare for them.” Laurens had heard nothing, but his driver’s insistence was unrelenting, so Laurens climbed a small hill nearby and looked in all directions. No one was in sight. “They are getting closer,” his driver exclaimed. “There are five of them. Can’t you hear them?” Laurens could not, but before long they came into view, five scarecrow survivors, barely alive. “How did you know so far in advance?” Laurens asked. [color=#800080]“I heard them,” said the driver. “But why couldn’t I?” asked Laurens. “Because I heard them from my heart,” was the simple reply. And the !Kung are not the only such group to operate with such intuition. Australian Aborigines as well as the Malaysian aboriginals described by the Dutch psychologist Robert Wolff in his book Original Wisdom all show striking capacities of this nature, adding up to a voluminous history that is hard to dismiss as simply anecdotal."

I feel that we learn from the animals....they do breath from their FEET...they are so
connected with the EARTH, THEY FEEL.....
Robert Shapiro from his 'BLOG" shares his insights....http://mysticalman.blogspot.com/
Now comes a further understanding of the nature of Mother Earth's personality.
Mother Earth knows that she is a school for us all here and therefore she has created, with the guidance and support of Creator, the means for us to learn by creating a complete and closed system on Earth. Closed in the sense that, while there is influence from other planets and of course the sun and the moon, the functions of our bodies and of Earth happen exclusively here irregardless of the visitations of the occasional astronaut.
We come from the earth with a spark of soul within us and we return to the earth and everything that we need comes from some way by way of the earth and not just Earth as planet - in this case earth as soil.
How would you say could there be all these diseases that we get. Not just that cause death as we all must move on through the veil but all the suffering, all the pain. Within the soil there is the cure for all diseases but how to deliver that cure?
How else - either through walking on the soil and when one finds the exact right energy of a place on the land for an individual - breathing in through their feet that energy of that land and that soil but if one cannot find that than perhaps one can trust that the roots of a tree or the roots of a plant or a bush or yes what we call a weed might have found that exact soil and is touching it.
We do not need to uproot the tree or the bush or the weed. We only need to find that plant and stand in front of it and if it is the right plant we will know by the energy we feel - that warm feeling in our body or that good feeling of calm and peace.
We do not pick up the plant and tear it out of the soil, we simply look at it lovingly and in a very natural way while we're looking at it we take 3 deep breaths and exhale in a direction away from the plant for when we breathe in we breathe in that nurturing for our bodies that may support us through our difficult times and when we breathe out we blow gently away from the plant so that the pain and discomfort is blown into the air where it will be dispersed and returned to its natural energy.
I know this may sound simplistic but it is what I've been taught and what I believe through my experience. Let us now begin to assemble, those of you who are doing this or those of you who can, not just the names of plants that can help with this or that but the good places on the Earth that still have benevolent energy.
Let us remember that breathing in through parts of our body is possible. Of course we use our lungs and diaphragm and mouth to breath in but practice when you feel safe and comfortable wherever your feet are by imagining that breath coming in through the bottoms of your feet and you might even feel a sense of energy moving up your body. And if you feel the need to release energy from your body than you can lie down perhaps and aim your feet into the sky as best as possible or away from where people and animals are as best you can and simply allow yourself to push energy out through the bottoms of your feet by blowing out and letting that energy or discomfort be dispersed that way.
Remember if you cannot do anything else - the Earth curves so imagine that energy blowing out of the bottom of your feet and going 10, 20 miles. When it does that it will surely be in the sky.
Mother Earth means to provide this closed system so we will learn our natural magical abilities and what we consider magic now may simply be what is natural for us as natural beings. Yes in this age of technology - and support from all directions that is available at times we can still use what is natural to us, what the animals use, what the plants use and we must also remember we are here for only a certain amount of time because this is school and when recess takes place and our body returns to Earth we then continue on in our benevolent natural cycles. It is like breath. We breathe in, we breathe out and we go on indefinitely.
Goodlife to you all and goodnight.
