7 Tips for Grounding
Grounding is simply the practice of reconnecting with the Earth. Grounding can be experienced through embodiment & conscious awareness.
Humans are bioelectrical beings that carry a positive charge, which can build up in our bodies.
Earth has a negative charge. When we make contact through grounding, we discharge our excess energy, producing a healing effect at the cellular level.
One research review suggests the earth is a living matrix with a central connection to all living cells.
This matrix is held together by electrical conductivity, which acts as an immune system defense (sort of like antioxidants). The body restores its natural defenses by connecting to the matrix through grounding
