· Finding yourself unable to focus on
day to day tasks
· Nervousness or nervous energy
· Feeling overwhelmed
· Crying for no reason
· Feeling like your emotions are
controlling you
· Forgetting to do important things
· Having a hard time organizing yourself

“An electrical device
is “grounded” when it is connected to the ground in a way that allows excess
energy to leave the system. We are:
PHYSICALLY GROUNDED
when we can feel our connection with the Earth and carry ourselves (posture,
movement, awareness) in a manner that is in harmony with the Earth’s
gravitational pull.
EMOTIONALLY GROUNDED
when our energies and emotions move through our physically-grounded body freely
and are wholesomely discharged through our cells, our breath, our thoughts,
& our actions.
SPIRITUALLY GROUNDED
when a physically-grounded body and an emotionally-grounded mind are in harmony
& alignment with one another and with “spirit” (the animating force within
living things).
Techniques that align
your energies with the force field of the Earth and allow your energies and
feelings to move freely through your body.”

Reconnect
to the Earth
While the research on
grounding for your health and well-being is relatively new, the practice is
timeless. Past societies went barefoot or wore leather footwear made from hides
that allowed the energy from the Earth to rise up into their bodies. They were
grounded.
Here’s the bottom
line: You have lost your electrical roots, so to speak. You’re disconnected,
and this disconnection may be a seriously overlooked cause of human pain and
discomfort and the steeply rising incidence of chronic illness worldwide.
The good news is, you
have the potential to reconnect. Weather and schedule permitting, go barefoot
for a half-hour
or so outside and see
what a difference that makes on your pain or stress level. Sit, stand, or walk
on soil, grass, sand, or concrete. These are all conductive surfaces from which
your body can draw the Earth’s energy. Wood, asphalt, and vinyl are not
conductive.
Ideally, you want to
sustain the Earthing experience incorporate this healing energy into your daily
routine.
Whatever route you
take, get grounded, and feel vibrant.
Here is a very effective grounding meditation :
