Ground Yourself

Introducing grounding practices into your life is one of the simplest yet most rewarding commitments you can make to your health and wellbeing. It can be done organically outdoors at virtually no cost, or enjoyed indoors with products based on your preference, routine, or investment. Best of all, there are no negative side effects!

A grounded connection is made when the body aligns with the Earth’s electromagnetic field and absorbs naturally occurring free electrons. This effect is a powerful antioxidant and healing influence, stimulating healthy cellular activity and neutralizing free radicals.

10 Ways to Ground Yourself Daily Indoor and Out

1) Sleep grounded with sleep pads or fitted sheets

Ideally, people spend 8 hours a day sleeping (more or less.) With grounded bedding like mattress pads, sheets, and pillow cases, you can spend that time boosting your wellness by earthing while you dream.

2) Do your morning exercises on a grounded yoga mat

Take your yoga sequences to the next level with a mat that plugs into a grounded outlet. If used outdoors, it can plug directly into the ground.

3) Read or work with a grounding pad

Get grounded while you work (or read) by placing a grounding mat under your feet (Note: you must be barefoot or wearing non-synthetic or grounding footwear.)

4) At your desk - use a grounded mouse pad or desk mat

Ease muscle tension and relieve Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with a grounded, silver-threaded mat that also protects against EMFs.

5) Take a 20-minute meditation break with an earthing headband

Elevate your meditation practice with a soothing earthing headband. Plugs into an indoor grounded outlet, or directly into the ground when outdoors.

6) Hug a tree (especially when damp)

The sap flowing through a tree is grounding, plus trees produce oxygen, making them symbiotic with humankind. Research shows that tree hugging leads to increases in the “love hormone,” oxytocin.

7) Walk around barefoot outdoors (weather permitting) or with earthing footwear

Direct contact between your body and the earth’s surface is the most basic and natural way to get grounded. Walking barefoot on grass and sand, sitting or lying on the ground, or swimming in a lake or ocean are all powerful ways to make an earthing connection. You can also ground yourself with earthing footwear, like traditional leather moccasins (with no synthetic sole) or shoes designed to conduct the earth’s electrons.

8) Go for a jog in earthing joggers

Grounded athletic shoes are made with conductive materials so you can practice earthing on the run!

9) Wear a grounded wristband while engaging in hobbies (ex, crocheting, gaming, reading, etc.)

If you can’t get outdoors, a versatile and lightweight grounding cuff provides earthing benefits while you pursue your favourite pastimes.

10) Relax and unwind with a movie and a multi-use earthing pad

A portable multi-use earthing pad travels with you from room to room and can be placed on your sofa cushion, bed, or under your feet, depending on your activity. To enjoy grounding away from home, simply roll it up and take it with you on a visit or vacation.

Optimize your physical and mental wellness by making earthing a part of your regular routine — and reap the benefits!
