Earthing / Grounding with Clint Ober and Dr. Christy Weston
In the last hundred or so years we have lost something vital for our health and wellbeing: our electrical connection to the Earth.  With the advent of rubber and plastic soled shoes, and insulating mattresses in insulating houses, we spend our days and nights disconnected from the Earth.

 

The Earthing Movie
"The Earthing Movie: The Remarkable Science of Grounding" is directed by Sundance Award-Winning filmmakers Josh and Rebecca Tickell. This is a feature-length documentary based on their viral short film entitled 'Down To Earth,' that reveals the scientific phenomenon of how we can heal our bodies by doing the simplest thing that a person can do…standing barefoot on the earth.

By reconnecting to the Earth, many common symptoms are often relieved and even eliminated. People tend to sleep better and have more energy. They feel better.

The interchangeable terms "earthing" and "grounding" refer to the act of walking barefoot on the earth, which allows for the transfer of free electrons from the earth into your body, through the soles of your feet.

These free electrons are among the most potent antioxidants known, and the effects of grounding have been shown to promote health in a number of ways.

For starters, walking barefoot can help ameliorate the constant assault of electromagnetic fields and other types of radiation from cell phones, computers, and Wi-Fi—an important benefit for those whose lives are bustling with electronics.

It also cuts inflammation, which thrives when your blood is thick and you have a lot of free radical stress and positive charges in your body. Grounding effectively alleviates inflammation because it thins your blood and infuses you with negatively charged ions..... Continue Reading
