Dr. Rich Returns to Hawaiian Sanctuary
On his first day back, Dr. Rich takes a unscripted walkabout of the property, exploring the facilities, health services, lush natural surroundings, and winding trails. He reconnects with the healing energy of the Sanctuary, highlighting the serene landscapes, open spaces, and pathways that invite mindful movement, breathe and walking.
Dr. Rich here at Hawaiian Sanctuary, taking an unscripted barefoot walk on the grass and local roads. I’m sharing the benefits of barefoot walking and also some important cautions, especially for beginners.
Hawaiʻi in general—and Hawaiian Sanctuary in particular—is known for its soft, non-prickly grass and a lack of hazards such as sharp plants, goat droppings, or other obstacles that often limit barefoot walking. That said, extra care is still needed, particularly on stones, earth trails, or uneven terrain. It takes time for your feet to recondition naturally, because shoes and modern surfaces have softened us over time, contributing to foot problems as well as challenges like anxiety, depression, and other health concerns.
This is a 15-minute unscripted stroll in nature, over grass and trails, offering a glimpse of how mindful barefoot walking can help reconnect you with natural movement. More concise, instructive videos on barefoot walking and other meditative movement practices will be available in the near future.
