There is a new term that you will see being thrown about on the internet nowadays, it is 'Earthing'. It means to come in contact with the earth by lying, sitting, or walking on it. The Earth has negative electrons, we build up positive electrons in our bodies (ever hear of free radicals? - same thing) due to our chosen lifestyles. This is one time when a positive is really a negative. Earthing is when we exchange electrons with the earth by absorbing its negative electrons and discharging our positive ones.
A main culprit to creating positive electrons is the wireless systems with which we are surrounding ourselves due to the electromagnetic waves (wifi, cellphones, soon more radiation from BGE's smart meters Smart Meters). Wearing shoes with rubber soles, living/working more in buildings, buying our foods from supermarkets all lead to the build up of these positive electrons. This leads to inflammation, insomnia, muscle/joint pain, hormonal imbalances, snoring, and a host of other ills.
Basically our bodies are meant to come into contact with the Earth! But think about it, when was the last time you actually lied on, sat, or walked on the ground? I'm not talking about walking on concrete, blacktop, or a wooden deck - I'm talking about dirt, earth, grass, rocks, or sand.
When we walk on the earth we discharge these positive electrons and bring our bodies into harmony with the same electrical energy as the earth. Just as we must ground the outlets in our homes, we need to be 'grounded' by the earth to live optimally.
As a species we used to be in much more contact with the earth from walking barefoot, or in shoes made from animal skins, to tilling the gardening and tending to livestock. So get outside while you still can and walk barefoot (be careful of hazards such as poop, bees, stick and stones). Spread a blanket on the ground if the grass bothers you and relax back in Constructive Rest Pose (see above) while watching the clouds in the sky. Stay here for at least 30 minutes. You'll also absorb some Vitamin D from the sun too!
The very best place to balance your body is at the beach since both the sand and the salt water help to balance us. That is why just about everyone finds being on a beach vacation so relaxing, plus the ocean is full of good magnesium which relaxes the muscles - another bonus!
If you aren't able to touch Mother Earth then check out the link below to purchase a Earthing Mat which grounds you while you are inside.
Here is a thermal image of a woman who complained of inflammation and chronic pain. The second image shows a significant improvement after she Earthed for 30 minutes.
What more proof do you need? So kick off your shoes! There are so many things you can do:
Grab the family for a barefooted outdoors picnic!
Take a hike sans rubber-soled shoes!
Dance barefoot in your backyard! (maybe your neighbors will join you)
Perhaps take part in an environmental clean up - while you are helping our Mother Earth, she will be helping you too!
Dig into the earth and plant some bulbs for the springtime!
Or purchase an Earthing mat for the winter.
Whatever you choose to do to ground yourself, begin now. Get outside, enjoy this beautiful Fall weather, and feel the stress melt away as you become more healthy and balanced.
