How to do grounding indoors
Whether you’re dealing with too hot or too cold weather or you simply can’t get out in nature due to where you live (condos, high rises, apartments, etc) there are things you can do inside to enjoy the benefits of grounding.
- Let’s spoon! Using a stainless steel spoon (check it against a refrigerator magnet if the back doesn’t say stainless steel on it) and run the rounded side over the soles of your bare feet. Do this slowly and with intention. The steel bonds with hemoglobin to invigorate and activate your energy fields. Every cell in the body will have the electromagnetic energy set right. Be sure to do both feet and do it regularly. You may wish to use it as part of your bedtime ritual outlined in the complete guide to better sleep.
- Soak it off. Water and salt (Epsom salt) are elements of the earth and soaking in them will help the grounding process. The metal pipes connected to the tub are grounding as well. Adding additional plant material like essential oils or flower petals boost the power of this soak.
- Go natural. Natural fibers like cotton and bamboo should be your choice in sheets, clothing, etc. There are even grounding sheets available that have the smallest of metal fibers woven in.
- Step on it. Grounding mats are available to use in your home. They work the same way the sheets do in that the electromagnetic alignment happens as you stand on it. You can even keep it under your desk to place your feet on throughout the day.
- Crystals. Crystals hold the energy of the earth they have grown in. Some have a more powerful grounding effect than others.
- Grounding socks. As with grounding sheets, grounding socks have very fine silver threads woven in.
