The basic theory behind earthing or Grounding is that our bodies need to have regular contact with the Earth. Proponents of the practice argue that throughout history, this contact has always been part of our daily lives. Walking barefoot in the grass or on the beach or sitting on the ground are all activities that help earth/ground our bodies.
We have historically interacted with the Earth in many ways. In reality, gardening or planting is an excellent example of this.
MODERN LIFESTYLES HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT GROUNDING
It is essential to realize how much modern lifestyles have limited these activities in our day-to-day lives. Today people are spending less and less time outdoors in nature. On the other hand, when they do, they are wearing shoes with rubber or plastic soles. These synthetic soles prevent direct contact with the Earth. Rarely do they walk barefoot on the grass or sit directly on the ground. As a result, advocates of Earthing believe that lack of contact with the Earth, accounts for the sharp increase in health problems in the modern society. They think that these arise from our literal separation from the Earth.
Emerging science shows that conductive contact with the Earth, is highly beneficial to the health of the body. This practice stops exposure to potentially disruptive fields like “electromagnetic pollution.”
THE EARTHING MOVIE: THE REMARKABLE SCIENCE BEHIND GROUNDING
I highly recommend watching this movie: The makers show that Grounding is a proven science that helps healing and well being, not to mention promoting general good health.
Personally, since purchasing a Grounding mat for my bed, I have enjoyed a better nights sleep than I ever thought possible. It has been a revelation!
I fall into a much deeper sleep, dream more, and wake up feeling truly refreshed and refreshed in a very new way—a very different quality of sleep. My demeanor is much calmer and happier. Having never suffered problems sleeping, this was one of the lovely bonuses of getting an Earthing Mat.
