    Default Benefits Of Grounding

    The Invisible Benefits of Grounding

    A couple years ago I began sungazing and spending as much time outdoors without shoes as possible. I feel it has given me serenity, wholeness and better health. That's a lot of benefit from something as simple as going barefoot.
    Dammit, honey! You left the seat down again!

    I'm usually barefoot anytime that I'm not at work, school or out and about. There's just a certain kind of satisfaction to it, except when walking on gravel - that stuff hurts.

    I totally agree with you, GreenGuy.

    In addition to going barefoot as much as possible, I use a grounded sheet for sleeping and a grounded mat under my laptop.

    There is lots of evidence that this type of grounding (earthing) is beneficial. Here is one website with information: www.earthing.com

    Grounding is Key, I agree. When performing in the band, I prefer to go shoeless and sometimes I go pure barefooting. As Barefoot is Bliss. I feel more natural and grounded to Gaia this way.
    During this copy song performance "Ramble On" by Led-Zeppelin, at the 33 second mark you can see me kicking off my shoes and grounding. I'm the crooner. Enjoy Zep fans. Great Thread.

    PS The drummer is Nicky Capozzi - formerly of White Lion in the 80's, he can hit this chap.

    The importance of grounding – and healthy earth energy polarity - for your overall health is greater than most people imagine. It is vital, and curative. One of the major weaknesses of our modern technological culture is the limiting of ordinary feet-on-the-ground contact with the planet. We spend our time floating above it: commuting in cars and planes, in tall buildings, living, working and sleeping above the ground floor, taking elevators to our cars and failing to quite literally put our feet onto the ground for hours or days on end.

    A dear (and sadly, late) friend of ours suffered from multiple sclerosis, a debilitating and deadly nerve disease. Wheelchair bound, he lived on the tenth floor of a high rise, took a cab to his office (on the fourth floor) and hadn’t put a foot onto the ground in years. He was highly indifferent to any of my “unscientific” health foody/New Age therapy ideas.

    So we’d invite him to dinner in our garden, on our brick patio. As I’d settle his limp body in at the table, I’d quietly remove his shoes and lift his feet off the pedals of his chair onto a mat on the ground. I said nothing about it.

    But over the course of the evening, it was remarkable how his tremors would cease, his ability to speak clearly and his motor control of knife and fork would return.

    He always praised dinner at our house; calling it “limp in, leap out!” He thought it was the salutary effects of good companionship and food.

    But it was also Mother Earth, quietly repairing his wiring.....

    Take a walk. It might save your life.

    Cheers,

    Selene

    Hello Everyone: Here is a link to a fellow that has proved that grounding works....While watching the show you will see that grounding has helped him immensely. Mick has had his shoes off now for 25 years.
    Enjoy the show.....

    Here's a little synopsis about the show:

    I've been amazed at how much easier it is to hike up a hill after removing traditional trail shoes then either going barefoot (in the Spring when the ground is soft) or wearing skeletoe style shoes. The feet are truly an architectural wonder. I have sought a lot of treatment of my feet for parkinsons' symptoms with profoundly positive impact. no stairway to heaven without roots in the ground for just as trees grow in two opposite directions there is an inexplicable cosmic interconnection of dynamic movements.

    When I'm back at work after holidays, it takes a couple of weeks for me to realise that my feeling of confinement is my feet...in Judge Dredd safety boots.

    TPTB know all about grounding.

    Doctors on TV telling us that our children should always wear shoes, as bare feet are bad for their feet/posture...like how did that ever enter anyone's consciousness ?

    Workmate has sciatica, and he was told to never walk with bare feet, I suggested it was probably the best thing that he could do...

    They don't want us bare footed for a reason...

    I'd love to try this - I've been reading quite a lot about it recently - but it's so cold and wet, I can't bear my feet on the earth outside for more than a few mins, lol. Roll on the warmer weather.
