The science behind grounding and connecting with nature!

Anybody who has read the book ‘Earthing - The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!” knows that much of today's modern disease in the world is caused by inflammation.

And inflammation is heavily influenced by grounding.

So if we connect with nature and ground more, we can reverse the trend of rising stress and disease, and it also gets us out of our heads and out of the fight-or-flight wars in the world.

That book talks about taking off our shoes and connecting with nature.

And the correlation between increases in disease around the world and when we stopped walking barefoot, which is one form of grounding.

Hence, it's good to wear natural shoes that don’t have rubber so that, when we walk, we remain energetically connected, grounded.

An example of grounding is in any NZ house. It is a legal requirement to have an effective, properly installed earthing system in a house in New Zealand. That's the little mental rod pictured in the photo below.

Yet we often don't bother to ground the occupants of the house.

So while removing the shoes and walking on nature is proven by researched to reduce inflammation.

There are other ways to ground, for example simply visualising your energy going down the spine and into the Earth, like tree roofs works, even with rubber shoes still on.

Writing this post today has been a great reminder I need to ground more after my recent surgery.
