Barefoot Running as a Spiritual and Healing PracticeBarefoot running has become a popular option for runners who want to improve their running form and reduce running injuries. However, others are going barefoot for completely different reasons. Michael Sandler and Sue Kenney, both authors, began running barefoot for spiritual and healing purposes. Michael Sandler, author of Barefoot Running, Michael found miraculous healing and experienced a strong spiritual connection to the earth by running barefoot in a natural environment. He developed a natural relationship with the ground by connecting directly with his bare feet. He began to run light and free and quietly--not making any sound as his feet touched the ground. Sue Kenney, whom I have had the fortune experience of interviewing recently, also uses barefoot walking and running as a spiritual and healing practice. Sue is the author of My Camino Sue experienced a profound spiritual connection with Mother Earth and experienced a state of absolute happiness when she began walking barefoot in nature. Sue now holds barefoot healing workshops to teach others about the healing that we can receive by connecting with the earth.
