Do you like walking around barefoot? Feeling sand between your toes? Getting dirt on your feet?
Did you know that there are some great health benefits to this? It's called grounding or earthing and if you are not doing this on a regular basis, you may want to start.
Earth is an electrical planet, and you are a bioelectrical being. Your body functions electrically. Think about your heart and your nervous system. These are great example of this electric energy. Without this energy you would not be alive.
New science is beginning to reveal that direct contact with the ground allows you to receive an "energy infusion". This energy is a living matrix that is the central connector between our cells and it is vital to our health.
What are some types of grounding?
- Barefoot walking - Look for dirt paths, grass, sand or any form of direct earth contact.
- Lying on the ground - Increased skin contact with grass, dirt or sand.
- Water Submersion - Rivers, lakes and oceans are great of grounding.
- Simulation Equipment - Cant make it to the beach? Try these:
- Grounding mats
- Grounding sheets or blankets
- Grounding socks
- Grounding bands and patches
Grounding may help with the following:
- Chronic fatigue
- Chronic pain
- Anxiety and depression
- Sleep disorders
- Cardiovascular health
If you are looking for a new thing to add to your wellness lifestyle, try getting outside and tapping into the electrical charge of the planet. That's just a fancy way of saying go play in the dirt. ;)
