The Importance of Grounding
Have you ever walked barefoot? Then you have surely felt a direct connection with the earth below your feet.
“The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art.” – Leonardo da Vinci
Grounding will reconnect you to mother earth, and your spiritual self to your physical self. It is important to be grounded, especially if you are doing energy, intuitive, or mediumship work. Nature (and certainly chocolate!) can ground you.
All of us walk barefoot almost every day in our own homes. Although we enjoyed walking barefoot on the grass as kids, as adults we can’t even think about going outside without our shoes.
But did you know going for a walk without your shoes can have surprising benefits? Also known as ‘grounding’ or ‘earthing’, the natural act of barefoot walking has numerous physical and mental health benefits. Walking barefoot in dirt, grass, sand is the remedy we need to reconnect with Mother Earth.
Grounding for only an hour every day can have a significant positive impact on your mind, body, and soul. Early morning is best for grounding because the highest number of electrons are available when the sun starts beating on the ground.
When you walk on the ground barefoot and your feet touches the soil directly, your body absorbs negative electrons from the earth.
The negative ions help to balance the positive ions in our body and improve our health. It stabilizes our cortisol circadian rhythm to balance our internal bioelectrical environment. Moreover, as the pressure points in the feet are activated by walking barefoot, we feel a lot more energized. Studies have found that earthing positively alters the electrical activity in our brain which is gauged by electroencephalograms. Research has also discovered that walking without shoes helps to boost immunity, glucose regulation, improve skin conductivity, reduce stress & anxiety and checked heart rate variability. According to a study released in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine in 2013, earthing also helps to improve the surface charge of red blood cells. The benefits are endless, her are just a few:
- More Antioxidant Power
- Reduces Pain and Inflammation
- Muscle Soreness/Recovery
- Pain Management
- Helps you Sleep
- Blood Circulation – High Blood pressure – Heart Disease
- Lowers Stress
Try to bring your outdoor surroundings into your living space. Try bringing some nature that you spend the most time in, into your home.
*Get a branch or a stick that you can decorate with string, bells, crystals or whatever you like to bring some nature to you.
*Pick up some rocks from your yard, local beach, or a forest area you love to hike in.
*Buy some tiny vials and fill them with dirt and moss from your yard, or water from the ocean, or a nearby lake or river.
By harvesting some of these elements of nature from the land you spend most of your time with you increase your connection to the Earth around you!
Here is a Grounding Mediation for you to try.
What you need:
2 crystals for grounding (red jasper, black tourmaline, etc.)
Cedar or sandalwood oil for diffusing or incense
Calming music
Light your incense or diffuse your oil. Turn your music on.
Lay on the ground with your eyes closed and hold one crystal in each
hand.
As you lay still, begin to feel your whole body grounding to the earth
below you. Envision energetic roots extending out of your entire
backside and swirling down into the earth below you, Visualize your
intention and let the feeling behind that intention
travel throughout your entire being. As the feeling increases in
strength, begin to see your energy rising upwards toward the
universe. Know that your intention is being heard and just rest in this
space for a bit.
When you are ready, begin to pull your energy back up from the earth
and down from the universe bringing all of your beautifully grounded
energy back into your body. Slowly move your toes and fingers
around before getting up.
Do what ever you can to get the FREE benefits of earthing. Happy Earthing, My Darkling’s.
