Grounding, often referred to as earthing, is a method for connecting with the healing benefits of the earth itself by walking barefoot in the grass or soil, spending time outdoors in nature, connecting your root energy source to the ground, and so on. This allows excess energy from yourself to be directed back to the earth and also enables your body to absorb healing energies from the earth.
Why Does Grounding Matter?
Grounding helps keep humans connected to their bodies and in harmony with Mother Nature. Grounding helps with emotional regulation, balancing energy levels, healing our bodies on a cellular level, diffusing excess energy, and staying present mentally. For anyone dabbling in spiritual practices, especially shadow work, rituals, spell work, meditation, and the like, grounding is critical.
How Can I Ground?
Grounding is about connecting yourself to the earth element either through your bare feet, hands, or root chakra (energy center). This can be done by sitting on the ground (indoors or outdoors), taking a bath or swimming in a pool, running water over your hands, walking barefoot outdoors, spending time in nature, and using grounding mats or wires to ground your bed.
