For a while I have been reading about the benefits of “earthing”. Earthing, also known as “grounding” entails connecting to the Earth’s surface by, for example, barefoot walking. The theory is that coming into contact with the Earth’s negative electrons neutralises the body’s free radicals. Scientific studies suggest that this offers numerous health benefits including a reduction in inflammation and pain, enhanced energy levels and improved sleep quality. These days you can purchase “earthing mats” so no need to go outside on those frosty mornings to gain the benefits! You simply plug into a socket and don’t switch the socket on. The mat connects to the house’s electric earthing system.
I have been trialing the earthing mat since Christmas. I can’t honestly say that I notice a reduction in inflammation but certainly find standing on the mat barefoot, or putting it in the bed overnight, extremely grounding. It completely takes me out of my head, and it feels like the energy moves down the body.
