What Is Grounding?


What Is Grounding? 

Grounding, also known as earthing, is a technique that allows a person to better reconnect with the earth using electrical charges. It's said to improve your mood, decrease inflammation, chronic pain, and more. Here is all you need to know about grounding: 

How To Ground: 
  • Walk barefoot- walk on grass, sand, some even go hiking barefoot. 
  • Lie on the ground- lie in the sand, on the grass, and feel your body connect to the earth. 
  • Submerse in water- swim in the lake or in the ocean for a deep connection. 
  • Use grounding equipment- use grounding equipment such as mats, sheets, blankets, socks, bands, and patches. Use with caution and safety, as it can produce an electrical shock if used improperly. 
Outdoors- allow the palms of your hands, bottoms of your feet, or entire body to touch the earth. Walk in the grass, lay in the sand, or go for a swim. 

Indoors- grounding yourself indoors typically takes equipment to do so. Use grounding socks or sheets when you sleep, place a mat in your chair, use grounding patches, etc.
