I once lived for a while in a national capital where grass was a rare plant to find. They create parks where grass is planted and cared for in a very special way. Within a week, I had to go to the parks just to let the grass tickle the soles of my feet for some time, even I had to feel it with my hands. What's the effect? I don't know how better to describe the effect. I can probably say, it's exactly like the cool water that rains your mouth and runs down your throat on a very hot day. There is a sense of comfort and happiness that is like traveling fast from the soles of the feet to the nerves of the brain.
Is that what Vitamin G is like? I think that's right. G is meant by the green space, or earthing. Whereas vitamins here are not nutrients found in food, but are the health, well-being and safety benefits that a green space might provide.
Another one from my experience, and I'm sure many people have experienced this. This one thing, I often mention and I explain to people when they ask where I'm going, I say, I go looking for "eye food" for a while, especially in the afternoons when fatigue and exhaustion overtake me. That I say when I will go to places where the greenery I can find abounds. Then, is it just my feeling or something else, but I really feel like my eyes are devouring the greenness of the vegetation, and when my eyes are full of that greenness, my brain feels fitness, it's bright, and like I had just taken a vitality-boosting pill. I was able to work late into the night after that. This was then felt as a necessity. Every day, for a while I have to go to feed my eyes. My eyes need the Vitamin G given by the green space.
After a while recently, I have been blogging on HIVE regularly, I think I get extra "vitamins" from the green space. Namely, from various things that I observed there. My mental and spiritual health seems to be improving, along with the dropping levels of depression that can cause various health crises.
Today (evening), apart from the grass tickling the soles of my feet, except for the green space that my eyes devoured, I also found them hiding in that natural "green house".

Thank you for visiting.
What a wonderful post, we need more people promoting the importance of being outside in nature and just allowing ourselves to be present and explore our surroundings. We have so many connects to make with the natural world, ones that are so beneficial to our health. I walk barefoot daily and it is what helps to keep me well. Thank you for writing this xxx
