Why Earthing/Grounding is Important for your Health

Earthing or grounding is putting the body in direct and uninterrupted contact with the earth. This means you need to have direct contact with soil, sand, water, or a conductive surface that is in contact with the earth.

How to earth/ground yourself

Every day find some time to take off your shoes as most of them are insulators which stop electrons from the earth penetrating into our bodies. Here are few ways to earth/ground yourself:

• Barefoot walking on beach.
• Nature. Listening to water rushing over rocks, staring at the moon, or watching the trees blow in the wind can remind us that there is something greater than ourselves out there. Or just sitting under the tree. Taking shower under the waterfalls though this is not so obvious for everyday. Tapping into that power can create a feeling of acceptance.
• Breathing. Take deep, full breaths all the way down into your belly. Breathe in through your nose and as you exhale through your mouth, make your exhale longer than your inhale. This deep breathing signals the body to relax and helps calm your mind and spirit.
• Visualizing big thick roots growing down from the bottom of the your feet.
• Consuming actively drink pure fresh filtered water or hot non-caffeinated drink.
• EFT or tapping. It’s part acupressure and part mantra. It stimulates your body’s meridians and stabilizes your body’s energy flow, taking the “charge” off of whatever thought is having its way with you. More about Tapping.
• Washing the dishes by hand with running tap water barefoot.

There are also available different kind of grounding things like grounding mat and other electrical ways but I personally suggest natural ways for earthing. If want more information here is a good book to read: Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever.
