Dear Natural Awakenings Readers and Friends,

Here we are in the high tides of summer, enjoying the warmth and the ebb and flow of mother natures hot days and stormy nights. As you make time to enjoy the summer and the freedoms it has to offer, I would like for you to take the time to get out to a park, kick your shoes off and connect with the earth we walk on, inspired by the article Barefootin': It Grounds Us, on page 22. With the hustle and bustle we face on city streets running through crowds of people, up and down subway stairs, how many times do we make the time to take our shoes off and reap the earth's energy for wellness in an outdoor place that will allow us to do so?
