For Stress Relief...Try EARTHING Today!

Happy Sunday (4/5/20)!

I hope this post finds you well!  As we begin yet another week of social distancing and a new set of "social rules", I continue to search for tools to share on how to safely and effectively reduce stress & tension in the body. 

In previous posts, I have shared several stress reducers and today I want to share a NEW one that I have used for over 20 years.  

It's called EARTHING!

Earthing (also known as grounding) refers to contact with the Earth's surface electrons by walking or standing barefoot outside or sitting, working, or sleeping indoors connected to conductive systems, some of them patented, that transfer the energy from the ground into the body.



These are MY FEET...In the grass on Friday afternoon...Relaxing & Calming!

Health Benefits of Earthing (Grounding)
-Earthing Neutralizes Free Radicals. Free radicals are generated through inflammation, infection, cell damage, trauma, stress, and our toxic environments. ...

-Earthing Improves Sleep, Pain Management, and Stress. ...

-Earthing Improves Inflammation and Immunity.

How do you ground?
It is very simple; you've no doubt done it before! Walk barefoot in the grass, sand, dirt or on concrete. Like your body, these are conductive surfaces and the Earth's energy flows through them and into your body. For healing, the researchers behind the Earthing movement recommend staying barefoot on the Earth for at least 20 minutes, twice a day.

It's as simple as that...Put your bare feet on the planet and breathe!  It's FREE, QUICK, EASY & EFFECTIVE...Give it a try TODAY!

For those who want more info on earthing, here are a few links to articles and research:

"The research done to date supports the concept that grounding or earthing the human body may be an essential element in the health equation along with sunshine, clean air and water, nutritious food, and physical activity."

"Accumulating experiences and research on earthing, or grounding, point to the emergence of a simple, natural, and accessible health strategy against chronic inflammation, warranting the serious attention of clinicians and researchers.  As this report explains, it is a system requiring occasional recharging by conductive contact with the Earth’s surface – the “battery” for all planetary life – to be optimally effective."

"Pleasant and positive moods statistically significantly improved among grounded-but not sham-grounded-participants. It is concluded that the 1-hr. contact with the Earth improved mood more than expected by relaxation alone."

Anxiety and depression. In one small studyTrusted Source, it was shown that even 1 hour of grounding therapy can significantly improve mood.
One of my FAVORITE recipes to DOWN REGULATE Stress on my Body is to listen to this

Who do you choose to be during these Challenging Times??

I hope this post finds you well. Time can be an invaluable resource for those who choose to use it wisely.   Being Present and making mindful choices right now is KEY! I think it's fair to assume that all of us have had a minute to pause and think about the world today.  As we continue on, we will have conscious choices to make about how you process this time and who you choose to be as a result of this time. I found this chart to be very interesting and telling.  Take a critical look at the Zones represented here:  Fear, Learning & Growth. I am not formally trained in mental health but I think this chart is a rational emotional transition for most "aware" people.  For many reasons a natural reaction to a pandemic is "fear".  The word itself is scary and throw in "stay at home" orders and "social distancing" and fear is a normal response.  The unknown consequences of a pandemic is frightening.  Many emotions are present in the...
