Plug into Nature: How Earthing Can Recharge Your Mind & Body

"If you want to understand the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration." - Nikola Tesla

If you're tired of feeling inflamed and frustrated, you need to know that popping pills isn't your only option! Believe it or not, the solution might be as simple as putting your bare feet on the ground. This Earth month, I'm gonna give you a prescription free alternative that most doctors won't recommend and costs $0.

Earthing, also known as grounding, is gaining popularity for its potential to boost your mood, reduce pain, and improve sleep – all by reconnecting with the Earth's natural energy. Mounting evidence suggests that the Earth's negative potential can create a stable internal bioelectrical environment for the normal functioning of all body systems. Here's how it works:

When in contact with the ground, the negative charges from the earth’s surface travel up the body and reduce or neutralize the number of these positive charges. These positive charges are also known as free radicals, which are technically highly reactive molecules with unpaired electrons. With age and lifestyle factors, the body's ability to clear these free radicals diminishes, leading to oxidative stress and damage to DNA and proteins.

The earth contains an endless supply of electrons which can be used in order to neutralize and reduce free radicals in the body. It's like you're taking anti-oxidants. Interestingly, the Native Americans had a practice where they would bury someone in soil for 24 hours to heal them if they were sick and it was remarkably effective.

Here's how the Earth's energy improves our health and well-being:

1. Wounds heal very quickly with grounding.

1. Markers of inflammation and osteoporosis are reduced

2. Improved tissues and cell repair 

3. Improves blood circulation and viscosity 

4. Reduces free radicals, stress and tension in the body

5. Improves trauma response to injuries 

2. Improves sleep quality by regulating the circadian rhythm

3. Improves immune function and was even effective is addressing patients with COVID-19

4. Increases metabolism 

How do you ground? Any of the following will work:

• Standing or lying in the sand at the beach 
• Taking a walk in the neighborhood (barefoot, of course. Also, watch your feet!)
• Standing or walking barefoot in your yard
• Swimming in the ocean or lake

Connecting your feet to the ground is crucial to your health. Humans have become disconnected from nature, starting with the rubber soles on our feet, and I truly believe that this is the basis for most diseases we see today. By planting your feet to the earth for just 30 minutes a day, you are exposing yourself to the powerful electromagnetic healing forces of the earth. You should definitely consider adding this to your morning routine
