awareness of the moment, be present in each moment, to act at this precise moment.
be present in the here and now is the tool that allows us to live in full expression of our ability. Talking about the here and now is different from experiencing it.
The race is one of many ways of this life to put it into practice.
Running, walking, moving in general is a way of acting and is a natural way of acting.
listen, listen to our body, the beating of the heart, our breath, feel your lungs expand, feeling the body and soul joining the entire universe these are basically the feeling that should satisfy us and make us feel somehow in harmony with us themselves and with all that surrounds us, this last extension of our being.
I have already spoken several times in this blog because the man did so both structurally and our preparation of the movement that we have been dormant in our genes.
In the past I have also spoken of the Tarahumara that make the race their way of life to move through the wilds in which they live. Many Tarahumara runners
can be considered among the best ultra runners in the world despite not using the technology that we have modern humans. They do not know chronographs, dietary supplements nor shall our shoes ever more efficient technology. They run in complete freedom with just their feet sandals called Akaka.
Just about the use of modern shoes that I started a search on the net and discovered some special people "modern" that make the running barefoot (barefoot) is a virtue, living in the middle of the act, atavistic and natural movement .
The feet are at the core of our movements walkers.
For thousands of years humans have lived with a bare posture and a natural harmonic motion to your needs. With the shoe was lost this confidence.
The shoe restricts the movement of the foot especially those of the fingers so that these muscles weaken. This particular change completely the proper balance throughout the body, whose center of gravity moves forward, with negative effects on the bones of the entire skeleton.
With the shoe and you lose the perception of meccanoricettori foot, which must identify the distribution of the various pressures and therefore you can not to give the right information to the nervous system that regulates our body's core muscles to keep correct posture and balance.
The shoe prevents the normal and proper footwork, it weakens the muscles, causes the load is dynamically distributed over the entire foot but only the strictly serious heel, and therefore predisposed to faulty posture can lead to pain knees, hips, back, or plantar fasciitis. Almost 80% of Americans have these kinds of problems just walking.
The shoe also suppresses the tactile sensitivity of the foot, which no longer perceives the quality of the soil, and makes the pace less secure feet do not take more than the optimum position, the step becomes less cautious with consequent repercussions on the body.
In contrast, walking or running barefoot, as well as a proper exercise of the muscles of the foot and promote a proper distribution of loads, it promotes perspiration (the foot has among the highest concentrations of sweat glands throughout the body), produces a reflexology massage that stimulates positive throughout the body, improves blood circulation in the lower limbs and, consequently, that of the whole body.
Finally bare feet let you know the world in a more direct and conscious.
We begin to pay attention!
