A quick introduction to Grounding
Wednesday is yoga day for me. I have been to a couple of teachers, both excellent and with their own style. I really love the feeling of calmness at the end of each session. It is like being in a different world for 90 minutes of the week.
So today she says to us "feel your body grounded" and I thought about how I understood exactly what she was talking about having been introduced to grounding by a friend a few months ago.
Various definitions of grounded give "mentally and emotionally stable" or in a ships case "to become beached".
However, I believe that what was being referred to today was a discovery that was made fairly recently - 1998 by Clint Ober about how a human being can benefit from re-connecting with the Earth and therefore the Earth's energy.
How do I do this you may ask? Easy - take your shoes and socks off and walk barefoot on the grass, on the beach or even on concrete. These surfaces are conductors and your body is a conductor of energy so energy can flow through the earth and into the body. Rubber soled shoes are not conductors of energy and therefore cause a barrier for this energy flow.
So what I can hear you ask? Those that suffer pain and sleep disorders can benefit from Grounding. The electrons from the Earth's surface can counteract those in the body that cause chronic swelling, irritation and soreness. So long as the electrons can flow to the body benefit can be gained. And this is easily achieved merely by going barefoot.
There are simple barefoot substitutes available to buy that allow you to connect a mat or sheet to a ground port within your home. Although not particularly cheap, they offer a way to re-connect to the Earth's energy whilst you are sleeping or resting.
Let me know if you have experienced grounding and how it helped you.

With warmer days now arriving, it is the time of year to get outside, kick those shoes and socks off and soak up some of those lovely electrons.
Happy Grounding and have an amazing day!
