Get out and touch the earth!

    A few years ago I started "earthing" or "grounding". If you haven't heard much about earthing, its just physical contact with the earth in order to basically "recharge" your body. It helps us to maintain an electrically stable environment, which of course, keeps us in better health. 

    The idea is to get outside for about 30-60 minutes daily and get your feet in contact with grass, sand, dirt even concrete or gravel. All of these surfaces will conduct beneficial electrons from the earth to you. If you can't go barefoot, maybe think of investing in a pair of leather bottom shoes. Leather allows for some transfer of energy. Rubber or plastic bottom shoes will not conduct any energy. I stopped putting crocs on the girls because I felt they were missing out on a lot of good grounding energy.  

    The benefits of earthing are still piling up, some of them include:

          ~improve blood flow

          ~improved heart rate & rhythm

          ~more restful sleep

          ~Immune system boost

          ~relief of stress, tension & pain

          ~promotes better mood

An added bonus to earthing is you can get in your daily dose of vitamin D! 30-60 minutes of sun will be a great boost to your D levels. So get out, take your shoes off and get your body balanced! It has made a big difference in my life. These are the grounding sandals I wear:
