Grounding or earthing (interchangeable words) is connecting and absorbing the Earth's natural energy or electron flow. Why do children instinctively want to take off their shoes and walk barefoot? Why do some people like to walk barefoot on the grass or lay in the sand at the beach? It feels good! Beyond an enhanced sense of well-being, grounding also offers numerous health benefits.
How to Ground/Earth
People typically perform grounding/earthing outdoors by lying on the ground, walking barefoot, gardening, or submerging themself in water. You can also use grounding mats, blankets, socks, or other equipment. You can absorb Earth energy through your feet, hands, or any other body part making direct skin contact with a natural earth surface. This practice should be done for at least 20-30 minutes daily to start the healing process.
Modern scientists continue to advocate for Earth's electrons' ability to balance our body's electrical current. This grounding technique continues to grow and get mainstream attention as people search for simple, inexpensive ways to heal themselves.Â
Benefits of Grounding/Earthing
Grounding/earthing is said to decrease inflammation and quiet the immune system. It increases energy and metabolism. Studies show it also decreases pain and helps with sleep and depression. Since inflammation may be the root of most chronic illnesses, everyone should try grounding.
Conclusion
Grounding or Earthing is a therapeutic technique that focuses on realigning your electrical energy by reconnecting to the earth. There’s little research behind grounding but smaller studies have reported benefits for inflammation, pain, mood, and more. Are you ready to give grounding/earthing a try?
