You're Grounded  Tonya Judd, M.H. 
 

 
Our bodies were created to work electrically with the constant flow of energy from the earth. Electricity, simply explained, is the movement of an electrical charge. Electrical signals in our bodies control our heartbeat, our nervous system and the flow of blood throughout our body. To move and use the electrical charge we need an energy source. This is where Grounding, or the Earth’s energy, comes into the picture. The earth has an enormous negative electric charge. Our bodies absorb these abundant amounts of negative electrons through the soles of our feet. Most of us spend the better part of the day wearing shoes with rubber or plastic soles. While we need shoes to protect our feet when we are going about our daily work, these rubber and plastic soles disconnect our bodies from the earth’s natural electron flow. Placing the soles of our bare feet on the earth daily allows our bodies to absorb the negative electrons from the earth’s surface and helps our bodies remain at the same electrical charge as the earth. 
 
When you ground to the earth the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system balance is improved. Grounding has been found to reduce chronic inflammation, and being as there is a direct connection between inflammation and chronic diseases, inflammation can be decreased or prevented by grounding to the earth’s energy.  There are studies proving that those having direct contact with the earth on a daily basis heal from injuries at a much quicker rate than individuals who do not have direct contact with the earth on a daily basis. Grounding reduces anxiety and depression by 62% and muscle tension instantaneously shifts. Other benefits of Grounding include, but are not limited to the following: Shifts hormones, reduces stress and improves sleep, reduces chronic pain, helps eliminate jet lag, increases circulation, increases oxygenation, positively affects the thyroid function, helps to shift cortisol levels, makes the blood less viscous allowing it to flow more freely, improves heart rate variability, alleviates the effects of EMF’s and shifts the sympathetic nervous system back to the point that it is more tranquil.
 
There are numerous ways to access the amazing grounding benefits of the earth’s limitless and continuous free supply of energy. Try a few of the following: walking on the grass barefoot, walking on the beach barefoot, wading in a river or stream, laying on the grass or in a meadow, and many more.  No special equipment is needed!  Dr. Christopher’s advised, “Try it. You can get use to it easily, and you might be surprised what a difference it makes to your mental state!”
 
Are you ready for the next “step” to vibrant health?
