- Start gardening in your own garden or at a local garden where you can volunteer. Touch the soil and the plants, and even go barefoot. Interact with the plants and flowers as long as parts of your body are touching the earth and plants, etc. You’re good!
- Walk barefoot on the grass, being careful of objects, and select a nice piece of earth to walk across. If you have a garden, you are lucky; if not, maybe a beach or public park. When visiting places like mountains or rivers, I always just pop my shoes off to stand in the water and grass, but I check the area first! Sometimes I do this when it’s cold, but it’s great knowing I can pop my shoes on at any time again, so I always keep them close by.
- Hug a tree. I know this one seems crazy. Watch out that no one is watching you! I do attempt this at times, but only if it’s an area with hardly any people. The energy from a tree is very powerful.
- Buy special grounding shoes! ( Earthing shoes )
- Meditate on stones or sit on stones and rocks, You know those beautiful big stones at beauty spots grab a seat on one. All you need is one point of contact with the rock or stone to exchange electrons with the earth. Take in the scenery, Multitask reading a book or writing.
- Use an earthing mat
- Laying on the ground, Maybe at a beach or park somewhere clean and tidy, luckier if you have a garden you can relax and read or listen to music etc.
- Go for a swim ( wild swimming ) in a lake or river, You can simply put your feet in the shallow end and this will be enough!
- Hiking, When you reach the top slip off your shoes and ground them to the earth while you sit and take in the view 20 minuets is all you need. or pop of shoes at certain intervals along your journey !
- Natural hot springs and mud baths – used for hundreds of years as ” healing ” centres for people everything from decreased signs of ageing to reduction in inflammation.

The art of grounding | Reconnecting with mother nature
Grounding or ( Earthing ) is a therapeutic technique that involves doing activities that “ground” or electrically reconnect you to mother earth. The main type of grounding consists of walking barefoot in nature on soil or grass etc, of course watch out for anything sharp ! Ever felt better after putting your feet on the sand on a beach or in the sea ? Well that’s ” grounding “
Grounding does not need to be just your feet, you can increase your skin to earth contact on any part of your body, simply lay down in the park etc. Hug trees ? Lol. It may sound crazy to some people out there but there has actually been some scientific studies with results !
Studies have concluded that ” Grounding ” therapy improves symptoms of sleep disorders, anxiety and depression, chronic pain , PTSD, chronic fatigue. Earthing is a under studied therapy, regardless if the existing studies are just down to fresh air and exercise in nature it is still helping people, people who practice ” earthing ” feel better and that’s the main thing right ?
Some interesting Videos to watch on ” Grounding ”
Grounding or earthing is not some new age holistic therapy it has been around for thousands of years in fact indigenous cultures from across the world have used practices like this in rituals and healing ceremonies which included being covered in earth.
We need to be connected with the Earth which gave us birth.
— Dr. David Suzuki, Ecologist
We have in modern times rubber on the soles of our shoes which does not allow the energy of the earth to move into us through the ground, we rarely lay down outside as lots of people work at home at desks etc, we have simply lost touch with mother earth.
