CONNECT TO THE EARTH AND FEEL BETTER!

Hmmm, I just finished golfing 18 holes which is very unusual for me and  around the 10th hole, I did something very strange – I took off my sandals. My friend followed suit and we walked the rest of the course in bare feet.  It was awesome! It felt so wonderful to be walking on grass in it’s various golf course lengths for so long. Who knew that I may have been doing something wonderful for myself, at the same time? Enter EARTHING – not earLing earthing!

 
It’s news to me, but here is some information from www.earthing.com to tell you more about it …”Just as the sun gives us warmth and vitamin D, the Earth underfoot gives us food and water, a surface to walk, sit, stand, play, and build on, and something you never, ever thought about—an eternal, natural, and gentle energy. Think of it perhaps as vitamin G—G for ground. What does that mean to you? Maybe the difference between feeling good and not so good, of having little or a lot of energy, or sleeping well or not so well.
You can’t see the Earth’s energy but some people can feel it as a warm, tingling, and pleasant sensation when they are out walking barefoot along the water’s edge at the beach or on a stretch of dew-moistened grass.

Throughout history humans walked barefoot and slept on the ground. But modern lifestyle, including the widespread use of insulative rubber- or plastic-soled shoes, has disconnected us from the Earth’s energy and, of course, we no longer sleep on the ground. Fascinating new research has raised the possibility that this disconnect may actually contribute to chronic pain, fatigue, and poor sleep that plague so many people.

The remedy for the disconnect is simple. Walk barefoot outdoors whenever possible and/or sleep, work, or relax indoors in contact with conductive sheets or mats that transfer the energy to your body. People who do on a regular basis say they sleep better, feel better, and have more energy during the day.

This simple practice is called Earthing, and it is both a technology and a movement which is transforming lives across the planet.

Earthing is safe and natural, for people of all ages, young and old, but it is not medicine or a substitute for medical treatment. If you have a medical condition, see your physician or healthcare provider.

HOW TO EXPERIENCE EARTHING…NOW

Go barefoot outside for a half-hour and see what a difference it makes on your pain or stress level. Sit, stand, or walk on grass, sand, dirt, or concrete. These are all conductive surfaces from which your body can draw the Earth’s energy. Wood, asphalt, and vinyl won’t work. They are not conductive surfaces. Experience for yourself the healing energy of the Earth at work.”

Do a little research for yourself and see what you think, it sounds like a pretty simple prescription to me – and it feels good!

Best, Steph
