Research is showing that barefoot contact can produce nearly instant changes in a variety of physiological measures, help improve sleep, reduce pain, and decrease muscle tension and lower stress. Lots of research shows the importance of being in nature, so whether the “grounding” activity is effective because you are in nature or it’s the mind-body-earth connection isn’t really known.
Called “grounding” or “earthing” connect your
skin with any natural conductor of the earth’s electricity. This includes
walking barefoot on grass, moist soil, sand, gravel, ceramic tile, or concrete
(but not other types of pavement). Swim in the ocean, a lake or other natural
body of water. Sit under a tree, leaning against the trunk. Dig gloveless in
the garden.
For me there is nothing better than standing at
the shore in sand, letting the water lap over my feet. Have always loved this
and honestly a day at the beach digging my feet in sand makes me a happy
camper. So before the temps change, head outside for some barefooting.
