Why is Grounding (Earthing) so Important?
Grounding is the practice of connecting directly with the Earth, usually by walking barefoot on natural surfaces like grass, sand, or soil. It's based on the idea that the Earth has a natural electrical charge, and by connecting with it, we can balance out our own body's charge.
Benefits of Grounding
Reduced Stress & Anxiety
Many people have reported feeling more calm and relaxed after grounding. This is believed to be due to the Earth's negative charge helping to balance the body's electric charge.
Improved Sleep
People who practice grounding regularly have reported better sleep patterns.
Decreased Pain & Inflammation
Grounding can help neutralize free radicals in our bodies, which play a role in inflammation and chronic illness.
Boosted Immune System
With reduced inflammation and better sleep, your body can better fight off illnesses.
Enhanced Energy
Feeling revitalized and refreshed is another reported benefit of consistent grounding. (I often step outside and ground to boost my energy during the work day.)
Just take 10 minutes a day to walk barefoot on grass, dirt, or sand. Even standing still and feeling the Earth beneath your feet can be extremely beneficial.
Make sure you are well hydrated, since water conducts energy.
There are grounding mats and sheets available that can mimic the effects if you can't get outside or want to add indoor grounding to your routine.Take Action
