Today, I came to spend the night with my 90 year old, Mom!👩
She lives in an assisted living facility outside of Atlanta. She lives on the 2nd floor and it inside most of the time. Recently, the movie, “Earthing, The Movie”. See it here:
This was shared with me.
I have embraced grounding for most of my 27 years in recovery. My kids’ friends from high school would see me on the ground in the front yard of our suburban home and yell out, “ Hey Pamamma, you getting grounded?” It was an everyday occasion, me there on the earth feeling the relief. It would bounce me back into my resiliency zone. It was palatable. I could feel my heart rate slowing, my blood pressure coming down and my muscles softening.
Now, back to the movie. So, what I learned, that I actually had not put together before, was that our bodies are electrical and need grounding.
The earth provides this grounding if we put our bare feet or bodies directly into the earth.
It actually takes the currents that are stuck in our bodies from cell phones, computes, TVs, etc. down into the earth! Before the invention of athletic shoes which have soles that are made of a composite plastic, shoes soles were made of leather. With leather, we could still ground, with plastic the grounding is blocked.
So, what do we do? Well, the easiest fix for me is to just take those plastic bottom shoes off and feel the earth. I also like to lay down directly on the earth.
Momma and I decided it was time to ground, so she took her walker/seat and we strolled down the long hall, took the elevator down and walked outside. She found the place under a shade tree where some moss was growing, nature’s carpet, I call it. I sat right on that moss; she on her walker/seat. We both put our feet on the earth. I could feel my resiliency zone growing as the grounding worked its magic(and science!) I cannot tell you how many endorphins there were! I do know that sharing this wellness tool with my precious mother was blissful! Thank you to Mother Earth for this healing!! Best grounding ever!
Sending you The BigLOVE!!
Pam
