- I have been barefoot since the beginning of February 2020 with the exception of 4 days when I was with my parents. This video was shot before that. I trekked for 9 hours last week and in this video I show my feet if it has cuts and bruises after trekking on an unexplored trail in the mountains. I have also shared the pictures of the trek in this video.
I got a lot of cuts on my hands while trekking. I have compared my feet with my hands in this video.

Our feet get so stressed staying stuck in shoes for long hours. It also loses its mobility. Being barefoot is essential for holistic healthy living so that our feet can keep all its mobility and strength.
To me now I love being barefoot. It makes me feel centred, balanced and in synch with energies and enviornment around me.

As I commented in another video of yours, I barefoot hike as well in the mountains and deserts. The confidence from having strong feet is immense. By the way, your healthy lifestyle is keeping you looking great with that long shiny hair flat stomach and strong feet. Keep it up and thanks for sharing your lifestyle with us.

Helllluuuuu !!! Loving your videos! Can’t stop watching hehe
Love your content! You're giving me some good ideas for my own videos. 💗
Thank you beautiful being ♡♡
Thank you for sharing your experiences! Your lifestyle is very inspirational. Treeking barefoot in India is in my bucket list. Looking forward to the next video!
I have moved to a warmer climate and made a routine of walking barefoot several km along the beach a few times a week. Your video is very inspiring and am now increasing my time spent barefoot and also exploring more ranges of varying terrains...even riding my bicycle barefoot to the beach...ha ha! Very grateful for your videos...keep them coming!
So happy to hear your transformation ♡♡ will keep sharing my barefoot adventures ♡♡
Great video and purple
Thanks for making these videos! The more that videos and articles like yours are made, the more it’ll (hopefully) become more common and acceptable among the mainstream. Most people don’t like wearing shoes anyways, but have been conditioned to think that without them on, we’re gonna get jabbed, stabbed or poked! But most outsiders don’t know that your soles toughen and muscles strengthen the more you go barefoot. If people knew this, I think the negative stigma around bare feet might lessen.
Kudos to you for 10 months! I started going barefoot in February too, but due to unrelated back/neck pain stopped going on my daily walks around April. I was still barefoot 24/7 (except when going out, which was maybe once or twice a week at that time), but I unfortunately caved back in August and started wearing shoes again once I became more active with going places. I regret stopping, because I was juuust starting to see the effects of going barefoot on my soles (strong, leathery skin, but also soft), but stopped before making any notable progress. My leg strength improved immensely though, for the 5 or so months I was barefoot. That’s my New Years Resolution for 2021: To get back on track with my barefoot walking and strengthening.
Do you happen to have any before/after pictures of how your feet looked before your 10 month journey, compared to now? It’d be interesting to have a video where you compare the two, and maybe even give advice to people who are skeptical. One of the coolest things about barefooting (at least to me), is the fact that your body really can adapt to rough terrain without needing high-arched, sole cushioned shoes. When I found that out I wanted to try it for myself to see if it was actually possible. It is, but like I said above, the journey isn’t easy (I’ve tried/stopped more than once) so hopefully 2021 will be the year for me to “perfect” barefoot walking! Good job on the videos 👍
Thank you so much for your lovely message.
All the best on your journey to ne barefoot in 2021. I would love to keep hearing about your progress. Also, its alright that you couldnt keep up with barefooting. If barefooting is about freedom then choosing sometimes not to be barefoot is also a part of it. :)
At the same time, am very impressed that you are so much into the grounding earthling and working on your feet. ♡
Unfortunately I cant find any pics of before, when I started barefooting I started very naturally without thinking. I had moved to the mountains then and just felt natural to be barefoot and my friends were also barefooting do it was just the flow for me.
Happiest new year and beyond to you. Loads of love from India ♡♡
Thank you for sharing, you have a wonderful landscape there and it certainly does you good! Looks like a marvellous area.
Yes it's a beautiful place. I came back from the city yesterday and I could feel my being shift as soon I reached the mountains. It was a good realization, motivates me to keep continuing with my choices and journey. I really appreciate you being here. Much love ♡♡
Being a barefooter myself I fully agree with your comments on being barefoot. A lovely lady like you is the more beautiful when walking barefoot. I will certainly follow your reports on your experiences while living in such a magnificent area of India.
Heyy herald, thank you so much for your love. It reaches me ♡♡
Where are you from ?
Much love from India ♡
@@ExpandLove Dear Kartika, thank you for your kind answer. I greatly appreciate your messages on UA-cam, which show both your love for nature and your spirituality and will send a more extensive comment to your instagram. I am an old man living in Austria near the border of the Czech Republic surrounded by forest and near the banks of a beautiful river, which separates the two countries.
Much love from me in return!
Wonderful!!
Thank you ♡♡♡♡♡♡
FANTASTIC! WOW!
Thank you beautiful being ♡
I love your video
Thank you sooooooo much sweet love ♡♡♡♡♡♡
Your feet are looking nice, healthy and strong. Keep going with your journey.
Thank you so much, Kalana. Means a tonnne ♤♤. I was in the city recently with my parents and there it's kind of looked down upon, but messages like your keep me motivated. Much love ♡
Awesome.!👍
Thank you so much ♡
It is beautiful to see you smiling and walking barefoot so happily
Thank you so much my love. You being here means a tonne ♤
I love it
Amazing pictures at the end of the video. You live in a stunning place of the world. Great update of your latest adventure. Sounds like your feet are getting alot more tougher which will allow you to be barefoot for longer periods in the future. Walking barefoot on different textures is a great feeling. When you go on these hikes, do you carry any shoes as a back up in case you need them? If you didn't, I think it is brilliant that you went completely barefoot and just used your senses of where you step. Happy barefooting and happy Christmas.
Heyy Paul, very happy to have you here ♤♤. Yes, its certainly a very beautiful place. Mountains of south India. Yes they are quiet strong. Wearing shoes as I am visiting my parents for 5 days. But I think I will fight through the winters barefoot as I come back to my home in the mountains .
No, I dont take back up shoes. I feel so much more comfortable with just my feet, and dont feel the need.
Merry Christmas to you too sweet love. And a very happy new year ♡♡
@@ExpandLove That's brilliant that you didn't take any shoes with you. Going somewhere barefoot and not taking shoes is a good confidence booster for your own self esheem. I go barefoot into my local town all the time and the more you go barefoot in public places, I personally think it gives you more confidence to carry on and believing that going barefoot is a wonderful way to live your life. Now with winter is approaching, I'll continue to go barefoot everywhere and I hope you'll be able to as well in India. Happy Christmas and all the best for 2021.
Hey Paul, yes its very amazing how it works with the self esteem. In the airport and cities it's a bold step to be barefeet. People just judge so fast if they see you without shoes. It's been incredible experience for me to be barefoot. I love it. Last few days around my parents I wore shoes and truly I can feel it again how amazing it to have my feet on the grass connected with mother earth. I do wish to keep going barefoot and I think I will. It's not so cold out here yet. I wish you all the best for barefooting and everything else as well. Much and much love ♡♡. Also, merry Christmas and a very blissful new year to you too. ♡♡
Love the content you are creating and sharing your life experiences with all of us strangers on the internet. Beautiful mountains. Only thing I could request is that you do a video where you are sitting and having your soles to the camera lens for the duration of the video, it would be great to watch the soles of your feet as we watch you speak and share your journeys with us. 👣💛
You are so brave to show off your barefeet to your followers. I'm quite impressed at how great they look!
Yes, its ununsual from mainstream where people accept nail paints and clean weak feet as more acceptable. Thank you for your motivation. Love ♡♡.
Such a lovely and peaceful video, thanks for sharing! How did you decide to quit wearing shoes? Can you walk barefoot on very hot pavement, sharp gravel and other difficult surfaces by now?
Thank you so much ♡♡. It started with my lifestyle where I was connecting more and more with nature. Can handle a little bit of everything, feet is strong and not damaged at all. Much love ♡
Excellent !! Superb !! 👍
Please make more such barefoot videos and show your hands, palms and feet soles often.
Sure subhashis♡♡
Thank you of you mobile, I think so. Keep in touch, compliments because your feet are strong and soft, I think
Thank you thank you love ♡
nice video again :-) hope your doing good... :-) could you maybe make a video how you handle beeing in a city... :-) i think nature is more smooth but city streets are more ruff to handle. stay healthy greetings from germany
Hello Kraus, very happy to have you here again ♡♡. Thank you for your love and inputs. Yes, I will soon make a video on walking in the city streets.
Much love from India ♡♡.
Amazing
Thank you ♡♡♡
Hello, you transmit a lot of peace and energy at the same time. I have liked your videos. I have a curiosity. Would you go barefoot around the city too? A greeting.
That's a very beautiful comment, Abel. Thank you so much. Yes I do, except when am around my parents. I like to respect them for the little time I spend with them, like twice a year for 7 days. I am planning to make a video on walking in the city barefeet . Much love from India ♡
This video would be interesting. I hope to see you soon, greetings.
@@abelgonzalez3739 thank you, Abel. See you soon ♡♡
Hello are you back, I am Mudit Jain from Kodaikanal’s
Beautiful! Barefoot is the only way to hike. 🙏🏻
Yes right. I truly feel the same. Thank you for putting it in words ♡♡
It's amazing how those pretty baresoles look after walking through all that rough terrain and yet they're still soft to the touch!!!
Yes right ! I have moved to a drier area. Here also they feel very soft, I think the food that I eat helps a lot !! Yey! Much much love.
you are so very amazing to be walking barefoot
My longest barefoot trek was 1,000km up the Bruce Trail. It took me 3 months over some very harsh terrain. I suffered no injury at any time. 💜 Was that your red Husky in the photos? 💜
Wow inspiring! I am starting to run barefoot, got hurt a little bit for the first time. But very little. It's my friends husky:)
Nice
Thank you ♡♡♡♡
You are the beautiful view 😘
Awwww thank you so much cjoe♡♡
Wow you are amazing !!!
Thank you, peach ♡♡♡. Happy to have you here again ♤♤
Expand Love thanks for sharing how has your day been today
Very beautiful. Back in the mountains. Feeling very relaxed centered and beautiful. What about you ?
Purple
Wow! I understand you hear this a lot, but you are incredibly beautiful!) Please tell me, what was the most serious injury you had while walking barefoot?
Hey Astahe, thank you sooo much ♤♤. Well I think the worst is when you step on a small rock or a small broken thick and hard stem rooted in the ground (without the tree). Hahha I hope I expressed it well. It hurts real hard but havent had any injury ♡♡
Amazing info.. And I didn't understand what to put if I watched till the end.. pepper? Also i have a request.. I want to knw if u wash ur hair with just water or if u use shampoo as well and how many times in a week.. Because I get a feeling Shampoo se baalo ka volume kam hojata hai.. 🤣
Hello karunamrit ♡♡. 'Purple' Haha.
I wash my hair with karthika shampoo, once in 10 days. The name is funny, just a coincidence my friends introduced me to it. I will share the picture of it. It's a herbal powder. It keep the volume. I dont comb my hair much :). Jatae ban jati hai. Haha. This is all I do for my hair. I eat clean and healthy too. Exercise. Keep my inner space clean and beautiful - very much like you.
My hair doesnt get dirty here. When I was traveling, it got dirty instantly. When I was home for 5 days recently my mom put olive and coconut oil on it and the next she put heena. It was super conditioned from that.
Hope it answers your question ♡♡
when you went on this trek were you the only one who was barefoot? Would you go on another barefoot trek?
I went into a Mexica dance this night, got some blisters have you ever got any and how to cure it?
Hey love, can't remember getting blisters. Only got them from shoe bite. Give it rest, it will heal on it own. You have yonslowly increase being barefoot. It's all good though, blisters are no big deal ♡. Glad you are dancing ♡ sending you healing energy.
When u get calluses in your feet does the temperature affect them ? How much does it take for the calluses to appear ?
I think it's very individualistic. Also depends on how much you are barefoot. Yes, still effected my different temp but the feet is way strong to take them ♡
oh it's incredible how you don't get splinters! I d get some if in that wild nature :) Anyway you made me wish to come there and living natural as well; wonderful places!
Hey ggambilio ♡. I am sure with practice your feet can be strong as iron. Yes you must visit us, you would love it. The nature here is serene and very loving. Where are you living now ?
@@ExpandLove I live in Italy. Here nature is good as well, but very little spaces :) And anyway your feet are strong but still soft; that's stunning! Eastern culture is more respectful to all living beings (even if this may appear a commonplace, but it's real!)
@ggambilo I have been to Italy once for a short while:). I do agree with you but when I was living in Vietnam my experience was very different. Animals are treated as objects. I would love the human conciouness to evolve even more so that we treat all animals as beings. Stop all the mass slaughtered animals we are doing. I also feel we are evolving fast. Moving towards satyuga ♡.
@@ExpandLove Oh really? So sad that in Vietnam they treat them like this! Me too I think all animals should be considered living beings first!! And respected. And Merry Christmas (important holiday here) ☺️
@@ggambilo hahah I know ♡♡. Merry Christmas. Thank you for your beautiful thoughts. I have been a vegan for 5 years now :)
You are gorgeous!
Thank you sweet love ♡♡♡
Purple! Thank you for sharing your videos. It’s refreshing to see honest and wholesome videos about the barefoot lifestyle and for it to not be fetishized.
Thank you sooo soo much Leroy, I also get fed up of fetishes! Much much love ♡

Tell me honestly, don't you feel that your feet are prettier and healthier than before after adopting barefoot lifestyle ???
Thank you sooooo much. I certainly think so. They are strong and wayyyyyy healthier in their natural shape. Dirty sometimes but I love the mud ♡
By the way, you have mentioned that except for 4days you were with your Parents, you have been totally barefoot since last February. Are those 4 days during few days ago?? or before that??

Some quotes about the bare feet:
~ "The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art".- Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519)
~ "What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful than the garment with which it is clothed ?" - Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475 - 1564)
~ “Going barefoot in the forest is a very sensuous and a pleasurable experience. For some of us it is almost a mystical experience. I know that I dreamt of it long before I ever durst try it. It is also an experience that brings into question our entire relationship with nature in a way that disturbs and challenges our ideas about ourselves as civilized beings.”- Richard Keith Frazine, The Barefoot Hiker
Very very beautiful. Thank you for sharing ♤♤♡♡.
🔴 Dear @@ExpandLove, I tell you all this because I feel what you feel. And this is because we, walking barefoot on the Earth, can feel the bioenergetic vibrations of this planet. And this Earth unites us.
