When you’re immersed in nature, it’s impossible not to be awestruck by the size, magnificence, power, and beauty of the natural world. This experience often causes your perspective to shift powerfully as you realize how small your individual life can seem in light of millions of years of evolution, countless numbers of species, and the infinite variety of landscapes, contours, oceans, and continents. You simultaneously feel humbled by so much vitality and intelligence, yet empowered knowing that you are an outcropping of this field of nature. The breath of the trees fills your lungs, the waters of the oceans course through your veins, and the electricity of a lightning storm flashes through your brain with each thought. Understanding this relationship is the essence of yoga; the unity of body, mind, spirit, and environment. Nature Puts You Back in Touch with the Ground
Grounding or earthing is an emerging field of study that explores the beneficial effects on your system of connecting to the earth. When you make direct physical contact with the earth through your bare feet or by lying in the grass, you reconnect electrically to the battery of the planet. This contact helps to balance the flow of energy in your physiology and has been shown to reduce inflammation, reduce stress and anxiety as well as improve circulatory function, sleeping rhythms, and mood.
