Earthing is the practice of making bodily contact with our planet to connect to the Earth’s natural healing energy. Earthing is said to reduce inflammation, pain, and stress; improve blood flow, sleep, and vitality.
In other words, Earthing is another way of describing Ecopsychology…the research and study showing that our health improves when we spend time in nature. There are any number of ways to experience the benefits of Earthing, from an intentional immersion in nature to a casual walk in the park. Some physicians are even prescribing time in nature to help their patients heal! Consider adding one or more of these activities to your wellness routine…
Barefoot walking - on sand, soil, or grass…
Forest Bathing - a conscious and contemplative practice of being immersed in the sights, sounds, and smells of a forest…
Grounding - similar to Earthing; grounding is where one makes contact with the planet, transferring natural occurring energy from the ground to the body.
The planet we live on has a unique energy and frequency that influences our body, this energy is called Schumann Resonance. Tapping into this resource is easy and results may vary…your homework is to test the theory for yourself.
Nature employs the mind without fatigue and yet enlivens it. Tranquilizes it and enlivens it. And thus, through the influences of the mind over body, gives the effect of refreshing rest and re-invigoration to the whole system.
- Frederick Law Olmsted, 19th century Architect
