How Your Shoes Impact Your Manifesting
/By Laura Michelle Powers: Celebrity Psychic, Author, and host of Healing Powers Podcast
I recently wrote a Facebook post about how much shoes impact our manifesting and I got a huge response so I decided to write a blog post about it! Here is the post itself:
“Quick manifesting tip: if you want to increase your income and ability to receive, taking stock of your shoes, socks, and other footwear can be very helpful! The feet and ankles are associated with our root chakras and blockages in the root chakra are very connected with financial fears and blocks. Getting rid of shoes that are ill-fitting, worn out, and don’t suit your taste or style will help you shift this chakra and these blocks as our feet connect us with the earth, source, and our ability to ground and release. If you have footwear that isn’t ideal, it will block all of those things! The new year is a great time to take stock and get rid of shoes that don’t fit you and don’t make you feel good (physically and aesthetically). Cheers and happy purging! 👏✨💫”
Our Feet and the Root Chakra
Our feet and ankles are associated with the root chakra so what we wear on our feet has a huge impact with how we connect with the earth and our ability to channel, root, and receive. By upgrading out shoes and purging footwear that isn’t aligned or ideal for us (painful, ill-fitting, worn out, or unattractive shoes) we can improve the energy flow to the root chakra and thereby release financial blocks and open up abundance channels. So, if you are feeling blocked financially or feeling insecure about your future, or even if you simply want to experience more abundance and trust in your life, purging old shoes can be a great step!
I have also found that when I do a lot of shifting energetically, suddenly my old shoes just don’t seem like they suit me anymore. Even if there is nothing wrong with them per se, it can be helpful to release them (give them to a friend, donation center, or if they are in really bad shape, toss them).
From a health perspective, we have a lot of pressure points in the feet (think acupressure and reflexology) so there are also direct health implications to wearing shoes that do not properly support you or shoes that are old and have lots of bacteria. If they smell, just get rid of them period. Think of your shoes, socks, and other footwear as setting the tone for the rest of you and how you show up in the world. If your feet feel squeezed, less-than-fresh, or unsupported then so will you!
This is a great time of year so purge anything that isn’t aligned with how you want to show up in the world for 2020 and beyond!
PS I had several people comment on my post about how they had released old shoes and then booked new clients, had windfalls, or other good things in terms of income – it really works!!
