HOW GROUNDING CAN AIDE YOUR DETOX

 

“Grounding” a.k.a. walking barefoot is an ancient practice that has been used for centuries to connect with the earth and its energy. By grounding ourselves to the earth, we can benefit from a number of health benefits such as lower inflammation, calming effects, detoxification, and neutral energetic balance. When walking barefoot on water, sand, dirt or grass, our body absorbs electrons from the earth which helps us to reset our bioelectricity and reduce stress. This practice of ‘earthing’ has been linked to improved sleep quality and better overall health.

Getting regular skin to skin contact with the earth has also been shown to increase circulation throughout your entire body. This causes nutrients to be dispersed more efficiently throughout the body and toxins are able to be flushed out. Grounding also allows for the body to get rid of the high electro magnetic fields we are exposed to every day and brings the body back to a neutral energetic charge. Systemically, more efficient cell repair and function takes place, which also promotes a clear-out of wastes and toxins.

The best thing about Grounding is that it doesn’t require any supplies or equipment, and you can do it almost anywhere! It’s as easy as taking off your shoes and walking on a patch of grass outside your office at lunch time, or walking barefoot in the dirt in your yard when you take your dog out. You can also utilize the beach if you live near one, the mixture of sand and salt water is especially detoxifying as it acts like a foot bath and pulls even more toxins from the thousands of pores in the feet as you walk. A lake or any body of water can do the same thing, just make sure the water quality is healthy.

People who implement Grounding into their routine immediately feel the benefits and report more energy, better sleep, and an overall increase in mood and mental clarity. Even if you can try to walk barefoot on the earth just once a week your life will improve!
