Foot grounding or ‘Earthing’

 

Earthing involves direct skin contact with the earth’s surface and you can do this by walking barefoot in nature. You can do it on grass or sand, anywhere you are connected to the earth’s surface. It has been reported that earthing can reduce stress and improve blood flow as well as improve sleep.. who knows, worth a try!

This is something I love to do quite a lot. There is a park near me with some really lovely little pebbles and I often go and move my feet around in them. Feels so good and I love the sound it makes!

 

This exercise is simple and will hopefully make you feel more connected with your natural surroundings and relieve stress.

 

  • Choose somewhere in nature that looks lovely to put your feet on e.g. grass, pebbles, pine needles, dirt etc.
  • Take your shoes off and get involved! Squish your feet and toes around. Really press them into the ground.
  • Notice the feeling on your feet, connect with the energy and the environment. For me, my feet get all tingly and I feel it travel up my whole body and feel instantly relaxed in my shoulders.
  • Listen to the noise it makes if you’re swishing your feet in pebbles or coarse sand.
  • Return regularly and enjoy the benefits!

 

I’d love to hear from you. Does anyone do this regularly?
