Nothing good comes from repressing anger- the more you repress, the more you compress. Both repression and rage represent the FEAR of the genuine experience of anger. People often repress what they’re afraid to express. The real challenge with anger: Expressing it while staying connected to our values and the world around us.
_
We are all part of this great awakening. We as a nation are in the midst of a revolution of consciousness, and no one is exempt. Here are some ways to discern and channel your innermost thoughts:
_
✏Are you angry? Frustrated? If so, at whom? Write it down
_
✏Are you doing everything you can to support , or just going through the motions to show solidarity because of social pressure? If the latter, what is preventing you from offering genuine support from your heart?
_
✏Are you carrying any guilt or shame? Is it productive, or is it limiting you from feeling love and inspiration?
_
These simple exercises are important. The change we need begins in the human heart. There are innumerable forces at work right now, and only in tracking them can we begin to make some sense of it all.
_
❗THEN, TAKE ACTION❗
Courage is not the absence of fear, it’s the will to act in spite of it. There are tons of resources available for how you can contribute to and what is going on right now.

You want to fight to end racism? Keep going.

You want to fight for awareness over ignorance? Keep going

We live in a dualistic nature. Evil will always exist. It’s up to you to be good.
It’s Good vs Evil, Right vs Wrong.
_
Racism is that evil- it is a symptom of a disease of consciousness. But what we can do is address the endemic fear, insecurity, and ignorance that keeps people from seeing this truth. The ignorance that allows those to see another human being as “other”, which is the prerequisite to deeming another as ‘less than’- and acting on their shadow with deadly consequence.

⚖Justice can cure the symptom. And I’m all in favor of justice.
_
🖤Love and education for all beings can cure the disease.

THE BIG TOE AND YOUR BRAIN 👣Primal Alignment🧠
_
The function of your big toe plays a massive role in the human gait cycle and it’s impact on your physiology & movement. Practice moving that sucker by itself--Lift only your big toe in the air, try 50x today. Next, try abducting your big toe (take away from other toes laterally). Light up your brain and start moving better by flexing your big toe.
_
Movement Science➡️The big or great toe has a special place in our brain. It’s role as a sensory and motor organ is so important in human movement (upright bipedalism) that it has a distinct and separate area in the cortex of the brain. No other species has this brain circuitry. The rules of ‘neural plasticity’ --- If you don’t use it, YOU LOSE IT!
_
👞Now think about all of the restrictive footwear, cleats, heels etc. you've used that:
-didn’t allow all of the toes, muscles and bones in your feet to move well
-didn’t allow them to breathe
-didn’t stimulate the bottoms of your feet
-deprived your brain of a rich source of sensory information, and one of its major points of connection with the world around you.

⚡This is all without mentioning the importance of barefoot grounding to the earth because of the bio-energetic benefits. Life is electrical. Your mitochondria produce the energy you need to function. If you think nutrition and exercise alone lead to good mitochondrial function, add this to your routine.
_
⛰When we consider all of the time we spent barefoot, with our toes splayed, going over different terrains and textures, it was more time in shoes than the latter.
_
We are the product of our environments and much of our overall movement health can be remedied by reclaiming our feet. So take those foot condoms off and spend some time with your toes free.
And when you need to protect them, check out these pages for quality minimalist and barefoot shoes (casual, work & dress shoes too!)
