Barefoot Running Backed by science at Harvard
I saw a tweet by Clynton Taylor over at http://www.runningquest.net/ regards a Harvard study into bare foot running. It was a link to what I thought it is a great video on barefoot running, with needless to say, a positive outcome based on science and successful implementation of the knowledge.
Brave souls that stand up to be a voice against the flow of opinion know that they are going to get sniped at but still have the belief that the message they have is part of a truth that needs to be voiced
I find it astounding that the message of the benefits of barefoot running has been around for many years and the early proponents of it have been seen as some heretic misguided fools who had obviously been inhaling the herb and had addled their senses.

I am obviously overjoyed that a percieved authority has come out and said hey…. barefoot running is really good for you. It is seen as a permission to look at the information as a serious piece of information.
Though to me it is another reason further adding to the need of being aware of the voice of the herd that is influenced by the mind shaping power of advertising.
Unfortuantly the power of advertising is so prelevent and encompases all our tribal thinking even if we are not aware of it.
The tribal thoughts are only of strength because the inherent laziness we have adopted in our rush to have a sanitized world that we think we are in control of.
The subliminal message that the face of advertising presents to us, has the influence to lull us into a set of belief”s that blunt our own innate and god given understanding of the truth about what we are supposed to be as a good animal of this world.
In my own circle my raw food diet is seen as extreme and I get presented with many reasons why I can not eat only fruit and vegetables and be healthy, partly because the meat and dairy industry have so much vested interest in controlling the tribal mindset it is a echoed thought without understanding ” but where do you get your protein “.
The questions I field in regards to running barefoot are mostly of the same ilk, echoed questions straight from the sports shoe advertising rhetoric
If we as good animals of this earth learn to trust in our own sense of what is right for us, we stand a chance of living a fulfilling and rewarding exsitence here on this wonderfull planet.
Being mindfull of what dictates our actions is a great start to being in control of your health, wealth, and happyness.
Taking your shoes of and going for a run is just the start of getting a greater connection to who you are in relationship to the real you and your enviroment. It is a very liberating thing to be able to have the thought. “I am going to try this without being told i am broken” and have a need what ever the advertising numbed tribal mindset is embracing.

Pretty much everything. I’m such a conformist I make myself sick with worry. I eat a 100% raw food diet and the stress of being around cooked fooders and their predictable questions is hard. It’s not so much the questions they ask but their tones. Most cooked foodists are almost rude in their questioning. It’s like they ask questions to try and make me look stupid. They’re defensive most of the time.

My true self. I don’t even know me I’m so buried.

There are lots of sheeple who will always be challenged by an idea that requires courage and open mindedness to examine.
Every time we take on board somebodies opinion of ourselves we give away our power.
A favorite quote of mine from Byron Katie encourages us to remember “what somebody else thinks of me is none of my business”
