What is Grounding and Earthing?
In this hectic world, people have lost touch with the Earth. They have lost their connection with the planet. Grounding is reconnecting to the energy flow of the Earth. Grounding is your body getting the positive energy from the Earth.
Earthing is another name for grounding. There is a minor difference between Earthing and grounding. Earthing is actually having skin contact with the Earth. Walking barefoot, playing in the sand, or gardening is Earthing. Grounding does not always mean you have skin contact with the Earth.

Guided Meditation for Grounding
Find a quiet space, where you can be alone with your thoughts. Close your eyes, allowing your body to relax and your mind to focus on the present moment. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale slowly, imagine yourself standing on the shore of a vast, majestic ocean.
Feel the sensation of the cool, wet sand under your feet, grounding you to the earth. With each breath, allow your body and mind to become more deeply connected to the energy and rhythm of the ocean. Hear the gentle lapping of the waves, the rhythmic sound soothing your thoughts and easing any tension in your body.
As you stand on the shore, imagine the ocean stretching out before you, its vastness representing endless possibilities and infinite wisdom. Feel the immense strength and power of the ocean, recognizing that you too are part of this greater universe, connected to everything that exists.
Visualize the waves as they roll towards the shore, crashing gently against the sand. As each wave recedes, imagine it carrying away any negativity, stress, or worries within you. Release them, allowing the ocean to cleanse and purify your mind and body.
With each breath, inhale the salty, rejuvenating air, filling your lungs with freshness and vitality. As you exhale, release any lingering tension or negativity, surrendering it to the vastness of the ocean. Feel a sense of lightness and freedom as you let go of anything that no longer serves you.
Become still and present in this moment, fully immersed in the sensation of being grounded by the ocean’s immense power and energy. Allow the sound of the crashing waves, the smell of the salty air, and the feeling of the sand beneath your feet to anchor you in the present moment.
With gratitude, offer your appreciation to the ocean for its ability to ground and nourish your soul. Recognize that this connection to the ocean can be accessed anytime, providing you with a sense of stability, clarity, and peace.
Whenever you need grounding, remember that the ocean is always present within you. Its strength, wisdom, and tranquility reside within your core, waiting to be tapped into. Allow this connection to bring you peace, grounding you in the present moment, and reminding you of the vastness and beauty that lies within.

I meditate for 20 minutes every morning. And gardening keeps me grounded.
Those sand tables are so cool. I wish they had them when my son was little. Lia, radiates the EARTH ENERGIES!
Great post! Lia practices Earthing without even realizing it. Maybe that's why she is always so happy and full of positive energy! We just had a major rain storm and she was outfit playing in her sand table that had filled with water. What a great time she had and no stress!
I do it more often than most people. I do not drive and I walk everywhere. I get the pleasure of enjoying nature that way.
It's a wonderful way to de-stress.
There was a time when I walked around in barefoot all the time. I hurt my foot badly and I have had trouble walking ever since, so I do not do it any more. I have to go outside and walk in the grass carefully.
Tes, if you do it outside just be careful.
How often we don't take any time to recognize and drink in the beauty around us! I plan to walk barefoot in the grass today!
I enjoy spending time out in nature, especially hiking in the woods as a walking meditation. Earthing and grounding in nature definitely helps me de-stress and relax. Thanks for sharing this very important topic on your blog.
I was just noticing Roy's comment, because I walk without shoes, too. I love grounding meditations and crystals and other things that are grounding. But unfortunately, I don't get outside to do any earthing very often. Great article, though, and it's good to know research is being done so more people will know about their benefits. I'm glad you are putting the word out, too!
So, me walking without shoes all the time makes me grounded. Interesting…
There is research being done now to see how well it helps.
Great post. I did not know grounding and Earthing could help with inflamation.
