Earthing, also known as grounding, is reconnecting to the earth’s natural healing energy after unknowingly protecting ourselves from its glory for so long. But what are we protecting ourselves from?
Earth is composed of many, many, many things.
Some of them are electrons, located at the surface, which have energy that is blocked off by the rubber on our shoes because they are not conductive, while our bodies are.
It is a gift to realize the benefits of being connected with the earth, and how the most beautiful and simple things can have such a big impact on our overall health.
Earthing, in simple words, means spending time outside doing activities like walking barefoot on grass and meditating every day.
Several environmental medicine studies have shown that environmental medicine promotes positive physiological changes, improves sleep, and reduces pain.
The best part is it doesn’t stop at simply having the amazing night of sleep you’d been longing for, it also has shown to be extremely beneficial to those with cardiovascular diseases or diabetes, as grounding reduces blood viscosity, and circulation in general. It also allows for the blood to become thinner and for more oxygen to be delivered to tissues, further supporting the reduction of inflammation.
Your body is your temple, take care of it.
