Mindfulness

• Every day, take time to contemplate your feet. Spend time concentrating on them, primarily the soles. Remove your shoes and socks. Place your feet squarely on the ground. Feel the floor or ground underneath your feet. More importantly, feel the soles of your feet. Breathe in, feeling the pores take in oxygen. Breathe out, feeling the soles of your feet breathe out. Try and move the pinky toe alone. Move each subsequent toe in turn. Learning how to move each toe by itself can take years of practice. Take ten or fifteen minutes every day to pay attention to your feet. Proper podiatric health begins with listening to your feet.
  
  

Flex, Stretch, and Relax

• Stimulate your feet with basic yogic tension. Point the toes straight forward. Then turn your foot up, pushing out with the heel. Next, turn your feet all the way out. Finally, turn your feet all the way in. Hold each pose for at least two minutes. Try not to flex any unnecessary muscles. Now relax your feet for two minutes. Pay attention to how they feel. Make a mental note, or say your thoughts out loud. Do not judge or evaluate. Merely be mindful. This can be done at any time of the day. For example, sitting at your desk at work.
  
  

Rooted Meditation

• Sit in a chair with your back straight and your feet planted squarely on the floor about a shoulders' width apart. Feel the firm ground underneath your feet. Breathe in, visualizing "Earth energy" coming in through your feet. If this is hard for you to visualize, picture grass growing up through the floor into your feet. Feel the massive size of the Earth supporting your feet. Your feet don't need to work that hard to hold you up. The Earth already does it for you.
