EARTHING: What Is It and How Does It Heal Us
Did you know that spending time in nature is actually good for you? Hard facts and statistical proof have shown this over and over again. In a University of Essex study, after participants spent time in nature, over 70% of them had less depression and 69% had an increase in overall wellness.
Getting fresh air and seeing some green improves our physical, mental, and spiritual health. In fact, spending time in nature is often referred to as green therapy or ecotherapy. It soothes the soul. Just 20 minutes outside can improve our health!
There’s another type of nature therapy and oh boy, it’s a doozy. And by doozy I mean absolutely insanely awesome! Its called Earthing. Earthing, also called grounding, is most easily explained by electricity. Our earth is electrical, just as we are electrical beings. Our bodies run electrically (think cardiovascular and nervous systems). Earthing is when you spend time with your bare feet in contact with the earth's surface.
With your bare feet on the ground, the earth's electrical current is then able to travel into your feet and enters your system. This resets and stabilizes our bodies' electricity. This crazy, magical, and mystical phenomenon quickly starts healing our insides. Pain and inflammation are reduced, our biological rhythms are righted, and we are infused with calmness. It even helps us sleep better.
Wanna take a guess at what causes our earth's surface to be grounded?
Yup… LIGHTENING!
Lightening is so important! Every few seconds, lightening is striking the earth somewhere. As it strikes, it charges the ground with electrons. It is these same electrons that make their way into our bodies and help heal us. Pretty damn amazing, huh? The earth really does provide us with everything we need.
For those who are bedridden or have a very difficult time getting outside, there are even grounding mats you can purchase that mimic the earth's electricity! I would think that the real deal is best but for those who don't have that option, this is a wonderful alternative!
Ever wonder why you sleep better at the beach? It's because you're spending a large portion of your day with your toes in the sandy salt water. You are earthing all day long!
Salt water is a powerful electrical conductor. That earthly abracadabra shoots up our legs and all through us and leaves us feeling a sense of peace that only the ocean can bring.
So if you've always wondered why you love the beach and can't wait for vacation to come each year, that's why! You are literally restored and reset there from all of the earthing you're doing. But don't forget, you can get in some earthing right in your own backyard! You don't need to go to the beach to restore yourself, so unleash those piggies and get to steppin'.
