In this episode, we explore a surprising truth: your feet might be the key to mental clarity, not your meditation cushion. Drawing from personal experience, mindfulness teachings, and expert foot care guidance, Erica shares why paying attention to your feet can be more grounding than traditional meditation.
Discover the hidden tension we hold in our feet, the power of walking meditation, and how small daily routines can unlock presence and ease. This is an invitation to reconnect with your body from the ground up.
