Throughout the years, we have gradually spent less and less time outdoors. Between long hours at work behind our computers, the day-to-day chores associated with owning vehicles and homes, over-stimulation with our various electronic devices, and easily accessible entertainment right from our couch, it has become increasingly difficult to enjoy our leisure time outside.
Also, we usually will find tiles, carpet, wood and other synthetic floorings in homes and work spaces, that replace the original floors our ancestors walked on- the earth in its purest form.
Read on for ways you can ground your body and get back in sync with Mother Earth, all while relieving stress, decreasing inflammation, and syncing your body with the earth below you.
The easiest way to practice “grounding” or “earthing” is to take your shoes off and head out to an area where your bare feet will be in contact with rocks, dirt, water, or sand. Some of the best places to ground your body are at the beach, a stone pond, or hiking trail. You might even have the perfect grounding spot in your front garden or back yard! It’s as easy as it sounds!
