    Wayne, would it be better to stand in bare feet, in a box of sand, in the house, in the winter than to stand on a rug? We have already had our first snow. Thanks!

    Hello Nicola,

    I don't live in a place where it snows but it is often freezing temperatures in the morning. I have heard people who live in snowy areas prepare a place to stand (if it is in your yard) by covering it and keeping the snow off of it. Then they fill it with sand and then heat sand inside the house (or just keep inside) and swap out the top layer of sand so you have warm sand to stand on.

    If you don't want to do sand - just keep your area covered and wear wool socks - you don't have to be barefoot. If you are inside then your floor is OK. It's not the dirt or sand itself that are important, it's the contact with the Earth. The goal is to try to have direct contact with the dry earth and if you can't stand directly on the ground to have materials that conduct the Earth's energy to your feet. The only substance that HRM said not to stand on is something living like grass or plants and to avoid damp ground.

    I stand on concrete/asphalt because that is all there is at the location where I can sungaze!

    Happy Sungazing!

    Good answer, Marla. I have heard of creative solutions by Canadian sungazers such as baking sand in the oven and taking it outside to stand on or sungazing in a heated greenhouse. But wool socks is a simple solution. The thing about sand is that it massages the pressure points on the feet, especially if you do barefoot walking, something I didn't talk much about in the course. I suspect the reason why sand is better than dirt or other surfaces is because it's made up of tiny quartz crystals, which store light.
