We human beings were designed to spend 85% of our time outdoors. Today, on average we spend less than 2% of our time outdoors. This disparity leaves us overlooking a powerful natural remedy at the expense of our holistic health.
You have all heard me say that everything is about energy. Our electromagnetic field is disrupted by challenging emotional events, chemical toxins, and electro-pollution (e.g. Wi-Fi, cell towers, cell phones, Bluetooth, etc.). Connecting our field with the surface of the earth can help to balance the effects of these disruptions.
Earthing, commonly referred to as grounding, is a therapeutic technique with many holistic health benefits. I’ve touched on this topic previously (May 2019, Nov 2023). It’s worth revisiting it because I’m seeing that clients continue to be challenged in this area. And as we move through the spring season, grounding becomes an even easier and more accessible cost-free natural remedy that you don’t want to miss out on.
How Connecting with the Earth Supports Us
From a scientific perspective, the surface of the earth has a negative charge. The overstimulation and toxins of modern life can cause us to build up an overabundant amount of positive charge. This condition can leave us feeling out of balance (either drained, wired, or both), causing stress, anxiety, and ultimately illness.
When we touch the earth, we discharge our overly positive charge into it. The earth neutralizes our charge. This process changes the polarity of our body and the alkalinity of our blood shifts. Recent reports, although still limited, have revealed that grounding could benefit conditions such as inflammation, high blood pressure, chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, and depression.
You ground yourself by doing things like ditching your shoes and going barefoot in the grass or sand, walking in the woods, standing or swimming in the ocean, submerging yourself in a bath, or lying against or hugging a tree (yes, tree huggers are actually on to something!).
When was the last time your body touched nature’s elements for a significant amount of time (at least 30 minutes)…your last walk in the woods…or even in a woodsy park?
Grounding is an easily accessible wellness technique that is critical to your well-being. I take advantage of it in all seasons (I’ve been spotted lying on the ground in Central Park even on winter days).
Nature was designed to support you on your journey.
Remember to tap into the powerful natural remedies for modern life that are available to you. 😉
Happy 2024!
I want to thank each of you who made it a priority to work with me to elevate yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally in 2023.
We choose our priorities. They express our values.
Last year, I focused my efforts on our 1:1 coaching sessions, publishing wellness-related articles, hosting roof-top meditations tailored to nature’s cycles, learning how to write a book proposal, speaking at several private events, obtaining the trademark on my coaching system, and being featured on the No Wrong Choices podcast.
My actions demonstrate that I value helping to elevate you. Your commitment to working with me reflects that you value the quality of your life experience.
Our journey on this planet is brief. You want to feel purposeful and happy with where you are at holistically.
The beginning of the year is generally a time for making new plans. As such, it’s the ideal moment to remind you that we are creators.
For a long time, science and spirituality were considered to be in opposition. More recently, through the study of quantum physics and consciousness, physicists have made incredible strides in determining the laws that govern our universe. Science is now verifying what masters have taught throughout the ages: We are connected to everything around us.
One of the fundamental principles of quantum physics is the observer effect. This concept states that there is no such thing as an independent observer who sits on the sidelines watching nature run its course without influencing it. This includes us. We observe everything. Thinking and observing are intertwined. Therefore, our thoughts while observing will affect our reality.
As with light or electricity, our thoughts have energy or frequencies. These frequencies create what we experience. They can empower or deny us the infinite possibilities available to us.
Our frequencies are encoded in our subconscious minds as beliefs. These beliefs are a result of our conditioning — things we have been told or taught, the moments of pride or shame we have felt, the times we were applauded or belittled. Beliefs about ourselves begin to be accepted by our subconscious from early childhood.
Through the observer effect, the power of our subconscious controls our everyday thoughts and actions, and thereby, our life experience.
When we take responsibility for our lives and align our thoughts and focus, this energy will cause us to be the creators of our reality rather than the victims of random events or conditions. Self-empowerment comes when we consciously choose our creations.
My Integrative Solutions for Modern Life™ are designed to help you master your mind, optimize your body, and connect to your soul’s authenticity so you can be empowered to consciously create your life experience and thrive. This is quantum living.
I admire your dedication to elevating your life and look forward to continuing to co-create with you in this new year.
We’ve been witnessing unprecedented violence and tragedy in the Middle East. As a result, hate crimes across the globe have greatly increased.
As a diagnosed Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), I have greater central nervous system sensitivity to physical, emotional, or social stimuli than the average person. This makes me highly intuitive, which helps my work. But it also means that the headline news can sometimes make me cry. A fair number of you are also HSP’s.
Your emotions have frequencies, or vibrations.
Powerlessness, fear, anger, and hate are some of the lowest vibrations you can hold. Your vibration affects your holistic health. You want to keep it high.
Many of you have asked me how you can protect your energy from the turmoil going on around us and cultivate peace within yourselves.
The answer is that you need to be grounded. Here are some tips to help you ground yourselves during this challenging period:
Mindset. The theory of social contagion causes you to be influenced by the behaviors and attitudes that surround you. Beware of this and maintain a positive mindset while intending that the current turmoil will result in the highest outcome for all of humanity.
Mindfulness. Commit to a daily mindfulness practice. Practices such as meditation and yoga build resilience and centeredness, among other things.
Earth. If you are feeling scattered, agitated, or depressed, make it a priority to ground your energy. Lie on or place your bare feet on the ground. Another option is to practice the deep breathing technique that many of you have learned during our work together.
Movement. Walking, exercising, and dancing (the best!) get your endorphins flowing. Everyone feels better and smiles more after they move. Don’t have time? Try shaking it to your favorite tune for 3-minutes. 😉
Hydrate. Give your body the quantity and quality of water it requires in order to function optimally. Generally, approximately 1/2 oz of water for every pound of body weight is recommended. However, every person differs. Age and health issues will affect your optimal hydration level. Consult your physician for guidelines.
Sleep. Get your zzz’s in. Adequate sleep (an average of 7-9 hours per nite) is critical to your holistic (mind-body-spirit) health. If you’re having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, try Passion Flower capsules by Nature’s Answer before bed or Bach Rescue Remedy Stress Relief Spray during the night.
Radiation. Limit your exposure to Electromagnetic Radiation (EMF) waves. EMF’s influence metabolic processes in the human body and exert various biological effects on cells. These waves emanate from all electrical and, to a greater extent, wireless devices (i.e., Wi-Fi router, cell phone, laptop, TV, etc.). Consider gifting yourself protective EMF blocking cases this holiday season. Your nervous system will feel more grounded as a result.
Environment. Be mindful of your exposure to all forms of media.
If each of us becomes more peaceful within, we can help the theory of social contagion kick-in and put that peace out onto the planet.
Best wishes for a harmonious holiday season.
