Once Upon A Time
Jul 17, 2025
Once upon a time, humans had a necessary connection to nature.
As recently as 100 years ago, our ancestors spent a good deal of their time outdoors working the land. Agriculture, raising animals, hunting, gardening, logging, and skilled trades were the basic essentials to existence.
Materials and tools in all aspects of life were fashioned from items found in nature such as wood, wool, leather, iron, copper, or stone. People were much more aligned with the natural world; both guided and driven by the challenge of the changing seasons. It was a simpler time, but a harder one.
As modern technology evolved, especially in the last century, our relationship with nature has shifted. The advent of electricity, indoor plumbing, central heating, and transportation have brought many welcome conveniences, and made human survival less urgently dependent on the elements. An unwelcome consequence is that we have slowly been losing our connection with the Earth.
These days, modern employment and lifestyles have us spending a lot more time inside. Mass production has separated us from hand-craftsmanship with raw materials, and factory farming has freed us from raising our own meat and produce. Even the synthetics in our shoes and clothing create a barrier between our bodies and the ground.
This disconnection from nature has come with consequences, the effects of which have been gradually upsetting the balance of our lives and well-being.
Research shows that our bodies are stronger, function better, and heal faster when we have regular contact with the Earth’s surfaces. Interactions with grass, sand and soil, natural bodies of water, rocks, and trees initiate a transfer of energy that supports our physical and mental health in ways we are only beginning to understand.
Earthing, or grounding, is the practice of aligning our energy with the Earth’s electromagnetic field through physical touch, by walking barefoot, gardening without gloves, swimming in lakes and oceans, or sitting/lying down on the bare ground.
Contemporary living can make it difficult to engage in outdoor activity as often as we’d like. Fortunately, indoor earthing products, such as conductive mats, are another way to help restore this crucial balance.
A conductive earthing mat connects to any grounded outlet, which carries the Earth’s electrons into your home through a grounded charge.
Our featured Multi-Use Grounding Mat channels this current through pure silver fibres woven into its organic cotton base. Direct contact with the mat allows the body to absorb the electrons, and experience earthing as you would outdoors.
“The moment your foot touches the Earth, or you connect to the Earth through a wire, your physiology changes. An immediate normalization begins. And an anti-inflammatory switch is turned on... Earthing is the easiest and most profound lifestyle change anyone can make.” - James Oschman, Biophysicist
Simply connect the cord to the lightweight grounding mat and plug it into the bottom (grounded) prong of an outlet. The mat can be draped over a chair or sofa for earthing while you read or watch TV. Spread it under your desk for barefoot use while you work, or on the floor for meditation practice. Lay the mat out on a bed for a grounded nap. Its flexibility makes it easy and convenient to roll up, pack, and travel with.
If scrolling or gaming is how you relax, the silver threading in the grounding mat also neutralizes EMF activity associated with cell phones and other wireless devices.
Important Note: An earthing charge cannot pass through synthetic materials. A grounding mat is most effective when in direct contact with skin, bare feet, or while wearing natural fibres such as linen, cotton, or wool.
Once upon a time, living in tandem and sometimes battling with nature was once a necessary part of human survival. Now, earthing is considered a revolutionary wellness therapy that improves our quality of life. We choose to make a conscious effort to connect with the Earth, a practice our ancestors took for granted as a daily way of life.
In today’s world, despite all our technology and conveniences, we have come full circle to realize how vital it is to support and realign ourselves with the simple healing of the Earth’s energy. A Multi-Use Grounding Mat is a modern tool for modern times, enabling us to keep one foot in the present day, and the other grounded in the natural world.
Grounding mat is off-white in colour, with silver threads throughout. Size is: 19.5” x 27.5” (50cm x 70cm). Available for online order:
