Why You Need Grounding [Earthing] In Your Life

Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

What is Grounding?

First off, what is grounding? If you’ve been following me over on Instagram, you likely have seen me talk about grounding extensively. As I always like to say, I’m not a doctor or an expert, of any kind, but I will definitely point you to some doctors and experts related to grounding. I’m simply a grounding-obsessed human that wants to share her knowledge and love for grounding. Grounding is also referred to as Earthing, so you may hear me use those terms interchangeably. In my non-doctor explanation, I like to say that the earth is negatively charged, and we as humans are positively charge. When we come together, we essentially neutralize each other. But, in our modern world, we are extremely disconnected from the earth. We are not outside nearly enough, and when we are, we are using rubber-soled shoes that are still disconnecting us from the earth. When we are inside, we are around so many other positively-charged devices. It is hard for us to ever get back to neutral! But, if we can ground ourselves, there are so many benefits we can see! Let’s talk about some of those.

What are the Benefits?

Well, the list of benefits is pretty lengthy. Let me tell you some ways it has helped me! Since my car accident in 2011, I have had back pain, and often flare-ups that make me “throw my back out” – on top of that, I have since had a baby who I wear a lot, breastfeed, bedshare with, and get my body in all sorts of weird positions, which used to cause some back pain, until I got into regular grounding. Since then…no back pain! Inflammation, female cycles, sleep quality…all areas I have seen improvement in. Food intolerances? Those seem to be gone too! Here you can read my friend, Soul Bloom’s post, that shows the long list of benefits. Varicose veins? Pain? Allergies? It’s been studied and shown to cure or significantly improve all these areas! Also, check out The Earthing Institute to learn more!

How Do You Do It?

Now, how do you actually do it? Well, take off your shoes, and go outside! Walk barefoot in the grass, or sand, or on concrete (as long as it’s not sealed…a garage or unfinished basement, or sidewalk works great). Don’t want to go barefoot? Touch the ground. Touch the grass, or the concrete, or even touch someone else who is grounded…another person, or a pet. We do this daily! But, if for some reason you can’t do that, or it isn’t safe to do so, or you want even more grounding, we also ground indoors, via grounding mats. We have a grounding mat for our bed, and grounding mats for by my computer when I work (there are so many grounding devices you can get!). They connect to only the grounding portion of your home outlets, giving you the many benefits of being grounded, while indoors!

Ready to hear my biggest overwhelm? The stuff. I Ready to hear my biggest overwhelm?

The stuff. I know this is a privileged point, so please be kind. I’ve always attempted to be a wannabe-minimalist (seeing as I have two of everything living between two places, but I want everything to have a purpose and a ‘home.’). 

I’ve very much noticed this be a trigger point for me since having kids, because J and I both have big families, and although their gift giving comes with so much heart and generosity, I’ve tried to find ways to bring in less stuff and to teach my kids to appreciate each gift, sooo less is more. 

Many years ago, my siblings adopted Sibling Christmas where instead of gifts, we have a special night out together! We love this tradition. After the overwhelm I felt this Christmas, being generously gifted Eberle gifts for now TWO kids, I asked J’s siblings if we can adopt a family-friendly event next year and remove all aunt/uncle/cousin gifts. Shout out to all my brother/sister-in-laws for getting on board. 

With C’s birthday party coming up, she asked for no gifts (OR a book as a gift).

Small steps, but always trying!!

Have you found any ways to minimize the stuff chaos in your house?!
You know what’s the trickiest thing to navigate You know what’s the trickiest thing to navigate while solo parenting?

Taking your car to the shop with car seat aged kids. 

Do you hang out in the shop with the kids for hours? Do you bring travel car seats and install them to get them home? Honestly, what have y’all done? Having another human help isn’t the solution here for me this time…😅

🎶’Cause I got a roof over my head I got a war 🎶’Cause I got a roof over my head
I got a warm body in bed
I'm doing alright right where I'm at
With what I have

[I got a Jeep, I got a dog]
I got what they call a dream job
Plenty to want, nothing wrong with that
But I'm happy with what I have

I got the air, good eyes to see
Got so much more than I'll ever need
Even the bad days ain't all that bad
With what I have🎶
