What is Grounding?

Since the period when we began migrating to large cities, we have been increasingly distancing ourselves from the earth and nature. With the advancement of technology, mobile phones, tablets, and computers have become an indispensable part of our lives. This results in our bodies being exposed to more electromagnetic fields throughout the day. Wearing synthetic clothing, living or working in high-rise buildings, and spending time in shopping malls all contribute to the increase in electromagnetic pollution.

To protect ourselves from this electromagnetic pollution, grounding is essential. Through grounding, the positively charged ions (protons) in our bodies meet with the negatively charged ions (electrons) in the earth, neutralizing the charge. This process benefits both mental and physical healing.

How is Grounding Done?

Grounding is the direct contact of our bare feet or hands with the surface of the earth. Studies have shown that nature walks with bare feet improve people's mood.

Although it may be difficult to find green spaces and opportunities to ground ourselves in urban life, we should make it a point to walk in forests and parks whenever possible and touch the ground. We should also walk barefoot on the beach, feeling the sand beneath our feet.

How Do We Know We Need Grounding?

• If you are exposed to a lot of computers and mobile phones,

• If you experience a tingling or electric shock sensation when touching someone,

• If you wear synthetic clothes and rubber-soled shoes,

• If you frequently spend time in residential buildings or shopping malls, you need to practice grounding.
