Earthing is simple, straightforward and powerful. According to many, it really is a missing link in the totality of conditions for good health, something that can mean a lot to humanity.
By reconnecting to the earth you enable your body to return to its normal electrical state, making it better able to regulate itself and heal itself. Normal body rhythms provide a stable reference point for healing, repair and rejuvenation – in short, for complete health.
To ground, you connect your body to the timeless and loving energy of the earth. This involves walking or sitting barefoot outside, and working or sleeping inside while connected to a conductive object that allows the earth’s healing energy to flow into your body. For more than a decade, thousands of people around the world – men, women, children and athletes – have made earthing part of their daily lives. The results have been extraordinary.
What is grounding not?
You will absolutely not be electrocuted. Grounding is one of the most natural and safest things you can do.
What happens.
Your body becomes imbued with negatively charged free electrons, which are abundant on the earth’s surface. Your body immediately attunes to the same electrical energy level (potential) as the earth.
What do you feel?
Sometimes a warm, tingling sensation and often a feeling of peace and well-being.
Are you going to feel better?
Usually yes, and often soon. The rate of progress varies from person to person. It is important to keep grounding every day, and as often as possible, to get the best results. If you stop grounding, the symptoms usually gradually return.
What does grounding do?
Study and research indicate the following benefits of grounding; we expect many more to come to light.
The natural primal energy coming from the earth is the ultimate remedy for inflammation and aging.
One of the main goals of Chinese technics is to “root” or “ground,” which has to do with initiating communication between the soles of the feet and the earth. The earth is soothing, strengthening, cleansing and healing.
“When I am grounded I am resetting my entire biological clock so that it is in harmony with universal, cosmic rhythms and that is the basis of healing.” – Deepak Chopra, M.D.
The ‘most dangerous invention in existence’ shoes
“It took 4 million years to develop our unique human foot and our specious way of walking, an extraordinary feat of biotechnology. But in a few thousand years, with one carelessly designed object, our shoes, we unbalanced man’s pure anatomical way of walking, hampered its perfect functioning, affected it with stresses and strains and deprived it of its natural grace and ease of movement.’
‘The sole of the foot is densely packed with some 200 nerve endings per square centimeter.’
The bottom line is that humans pay a high toll in the form of degeneration and disease as a result of being separated from nature.
The animal kingdom as an example
The French naturalist said humans should look to examples in the animal kingdom to see why reconnecting with the earth is so important. ‘It is notable that a cow in a barn with more limited conductivity of electricity due to the insulation of the building is usually cold and uncomfortable,’ he wrote. ‘If you put the cow in the well under the same weather conditions, the animal is quite comfortable. It can endure the, cold nights. Chickens allowed to roam freely never get sick. Chickens confined in a coop need to be covered and protected. Look what medicine is needed for chickens that are confined. Quail in the wild are just as happy in winter as in summer, without enclosure, without special housing.’ ‘The dog that is kept too long in the house and does not get contact with the earth, as nature intended, gives the veterinarian a lot of work.’
‘The state of health of animals in the wild is excellent, especially when unaffected by man.’
What is inflammation?
Everyone is susceptible to inflammation – from elite athletes to people just hanging out on the couch. Inflammation can strike anyone. The Latin word for inflammation, inflammatio, means “to set on fire. Inflammation is a complex biological response of the body to harmful influences, such as germs, damaged cells or irritants. It is a protective attempt by the system in which it destroys damaging or threatening forces and initiates the healing process of the affected tissue. If there were no inflammation, wounds and infections would never heal and the ever-increasing breakdown of tissue would endanger life.
The primal remedy for inflammation
The earth itself is the primal remedy for inflammation. And the planet itself is the greatest supplier of electrons on the planet. What does that mean for you? Imagine negatively charged electrons, like an invisible cavalry, galloping into your body from the Earth and clearing out a much smaller army of positively charged free radicals. Electron deficiency, caused by lack of grounding, is eliminated and a healing process begins. The inflammation, sickness and pain in your body are only – to a greater or lesser extent – a symptom of electron deficiency. The remedy for that is right under your feet.
