Touch the Earth
Feel the Earth,
In contact with your skin.
It just feels good
Like soft earth would,
And soothes you from within.
*****
Earthing: ” the practice of connecting the body with earth by touching skin to a conductive material such as grass (preferably wet), wet sand, a river, lake or sea. …… When the body loses contact with the earth it can carry a positive voltage relative to the Earth. Some people believe this is not good for health and wellbeing. Earthing the body returns the voltage to zero “

I enjoyed your your poem; thank you for sharing it. I love walking barefoot everyday. Yesterday, I thoroughly enjoyed my barefoot walk on the soft grass, feeling a deep connection with nature. Strolling between two long rows of Linden trees, the gentle rustling of the leaves and the cool earth beneath my feet provided a serene and refreshing experience, leaving me feeling rejuvenated and at peace.
Wonderful 🙂 Thank you for sharing that.
Grounding/Earthing can be so powerful for bringing a sense of calm to an overactive mind.
It is a lovely feeling 😀
wow, that’s great!
Thank you 😀
So true. I wish we had more green and damp places–or any!–here, to ground myself with, especially in summer. I could use some Earthing right about now!
Oh no, I know what you mean. I felt like that yesterday which is why I posted that poem. Just thinking about earthing made me feel better but I really should go to the beach and take of my shoes on the wet sand 🙂 Hope you’re feeling earthed today 🙂
It’s too hot to even step outside here in southern Arizona right now, but we’re spoiled in winter when it comes to earthing, so I’ll try to be patient!
Oh no, I feel for you. I can’t cope with hot weather. I’m glad to say we’re having a very cool summer this year – this week it’s even been cold – but I’m curious as to why because the summers have been oppressively hot for the last few years. I hope it gets cool for you too 🙂
Thanks! It’ll cool down by October, at least. I hope! 😳 🌵 ☀️ We’ve lived her a long time, but whew, summertime feels hotter every year.
I hope so too 😀 If you work from home, have you tried sitting with your feet in a bowl of cold water? 😀
Loved this post about earthing the body…this is so true!
Thank you so much 😀
