100% agree on the cleaning. I was a bit excited that day and rushed things somewhat, keen to get this post out.

This connecting of energy nodes seems like a short cut to a meditation stage which the person would be very calm, still and peaceful

Exactly. It feels like a tool to get us on 'the path' rather than something I intend to use for the rest of my life. A stepping stone to know myself better.

My cousin used to meditate till her fever became broken and all the sickness just disappeared within an hour of meditation.

Awesome. This is 'the path' I speak of! Some of us just need more in the way of evidence at the beginning to get our minds fully open to what it is capable of. And I think this tool/device is perfect for that.

This was because I had to pay for my old karma with physical pain! I’d rather pay up my old debts.

So interesting. Your words really resonate and I feel as if I also have a connection to pain in this life. There is not a day which goes by without it. Even walking with no shoes creates constant pain and this is the reason why, despite all my advice, I am the only person in my family who does it. I wonder if perhaps I also have a debt to pay?

I think you should at least wear the cotton shoes which old Chinese Tai Chi masters wore while practicing martial art so they could be grounded all the time.

Cotton shoes hey? Didn't know that was a thing. Will check it out. Though I am not sure how they will help me with my four hours of muddy time every day. They will fall apart in a week! Certainly they could be very enjoyable to wear around the house, particularly in the winter. Slippers just make my feat sweat profusely.

There are parasites in the earth and you could pickup some of their eggs unintentionally.

Never heard that one before. Guess I'm just lucky that I've not been affected by it after a decade of barefoot living. Not sure about wearing animal skin on my feet. Depends how the animal lived I suppose. Which in the case of the Red Indians would have been very well. These days it is much harder to find the skin of a genuinely happy cow! But not impossible...

Thank you for your great input as always 🙏
