If you are wearing shoes, you are overdressed! Why grounding is important to both our spiritual and physical energy.

Maybe you’ve heard of it, but if you haven’t, grounding, also known as earthing, is the practice of connecting with the earth’s surface by walking barefoot, sitting, or lying on the ground. Grounding is the act of balancing your spiritual and physical energy by connecting yourself with the earth. To be grounded is to be energetically centered, to give your energy a point of focus. The process of grounding brings us back to physical reality. It reminds us to live in the present moment and be conscious of what is happening around us. When you find yourself feeling detached from the “real world,” grounding can help you to shift your focus and be mindful of the here and now. Our bodies starve to be in contact with the earth’s electricity on a daily basis. The same natural dirt that provides us with a surface to live on, and space to grow our food charges our bodies with much needed negative ions.

We all have energetic bodies and everything around us comes from pure energy. We can pick up energy from other people and places, from the things we watch, to the things we read to technology and electronic devices. Today’s technology has a way of infecting us with “dirty energy” or energy that hurts us instead of helps us. Ironically, it’s the positive ions that cause us the most harm. Exposing ourselves to more positive ions (electrical energy or dirty energy) than negative ions over a lifetime or less can destroy our health. If you are an energy worker or sensitive to energy around you (i.e. an empath, a medium, reiki practitioner) grounding yourself is even more crucial because you are an energetic sponge, more so than others.

Life is also all about balance and as earthly beings we truly belong in close quarters to the most natural areas of this planet. Additionally, we are not meant to be indoors and to wear rubber soles every time we leave the house. Modern living has definitely limited the raw contact our bodies have to the earth below our feet. Our bodies starve to be in contact with the earth’s electricity on a daily basis. The cure is the earth’s natural healing powers. It’s free and easy to obtain. There’s no catch! Once our skin makes contact with the earth, those positive ions are neutralized and we are again in balance. Balance equals living well, good health and prosperity. Most importantly we will feel great!

There are 21 published studies that prove that grounding ourselves can help with chronic inflammation – a major factor in most diseases. Grounding or earthing every day could improve inflammation, immune responses, and wound healing. It also found that earthing could improve the quality of sleep, reduce pain, decrease muscle tension, and lower stress. It can also improve sleep, normalize the day–night cortisol rhythm, reduce pain, reduce stress, shift the autonomic nervous system from sympathetic toward parasympathetic activation, increase heart rate variability, speed wound healing, and reduce blood viscosity. It is also said to increase physical energy and to treat anxiety naturally.

Grounding is great for anyone, but it is an especially important practice for energy workers, empaths, reiki practitioners, mediums, psychics, and those having a spiritual awakening.
