These Medical Studies Show How Grounding Benefits Build Over Time

      I get asked all the time if there is any time too short to get grounded.   To that I say no. Grounding is as instantaneous as flipping on a light switch. When you turn on a light, the entire room is illuminated — that’s what happens when one cell in your body becomes grounded: your entire body is grounded. Because your body is instantly grounded at first contact, there is really no time too little for grounding.  Muscles instantaneously decrease in tension, the brain immediately shifts into more healing brainwave patterns, and our autonomic nervous system

10 Important Changes In Healthcare Over The Past 20 Years

    I went to medical school in 1996 — almost 30 years ago.  In that amount of time, there has been a lot of positive forward momentum in health and healing, and many diseases that were considered terminal now have amazing outcomes thanks to new developments such as biological therapies for cancer treatment and autoimmune diseases.

How Grounding Decreases Your Anxiety Immediately & Keeps It Down Long Term

  I’ve been anxious my entire life.  I can’t remember a day when I did not wake up with a huge knot in my stomach that felt like death was gripped my solar plexus and sneered up at me. Unfortunately the medical literature is pretty clear — anxiety has major health effects, but it’s equally clear that those deleterious health effects are actually reversible.  Meaning, if you suffer from anxiety, it’s very worth addressing, not just for the relief on a daily basis but also for the longevity benefits. Published February 5, 2015 in the British Journal of Psychiatry, researchers

The Benefits Of Grounding To Boost Brain Health And Improve Cognition

    There is a beautiful relationship between our brain and the electrical field of our planet.  This makes sense, as our sensitive yet complex neurological system has developed over millions of years — all while being bathed in the earth’s natural electrical field. Through recent research, we are just bringing to understand how the earth’s electrical field helps support all of our brain functions — from enhancing mood to supporting cognition to maintaining ideal autonomic brainstem functions (like healthy heart rate variability and breathing patterns) to deepening our restorative sleep at night. Today I’m sharing with you the latest

  The fall Equinox is this weekend, so we are officially headed into fall now!  And for so many of us, shorter days and longer nights means a dip in our mood. Fortunately, there are lots of great things to do to get prepared as the seasons change. Of course there are things like pulling out your sweaters and boots and knitting a scarf or two and planting a winter garden and getting the fireplace cleaned that you might look forward to this fall.

  Well over the holiday weekend I got a lot of much needed sunshine, and I hope you did too.  If you are a long time reader of my blog, you’ll know that I am a big fan of the many health benefits of sunshine so I’m glad I got to enjoy it a little, but while sun exposure actually prolongs lifespan and is important to our physical and mental health, there is no denying that sun exposure is harsh on skin.
