There’s no guarantee you will have an overnight healing like some of the people in the stories you will soon read about. It may take a while. You won’t know until you do it–and stay with it. But I’ll tell you this: I have seen plenty of people near death make comeback that surprised their doctors. […]
In general, people feel a greater sense of well-being when they are grounded. The sicker the individual, the more striking the gains. Older folks rapidly feel the spark of improved circulation and energy. Color,vitality, and outlook on life are transformed. Earthing helps circulation significantly. That’s obvious to me after seeing countless gray faces brighten up with color from
I strongly believe also that Earthing is not just to remedy health issues already present but also to assist our bodies in staying healthy. This is about the most natural form of prevention and antiaging medicine you can find. Neither I, nor the researchers and doctors I have worked with, have a full understanding of the
Dramatic as that sounds, I’ve heard it many times over the years. It is a common refrain of people being reconnected to the Earth after being disconnected perhaps for a whole lifetime.The degree of gratification I have had seeing people lose their pain and feel better is beyond description. This is what has kept me going every day on

We’ve also been asked many times if tree hugging is a form of Earthing. The answer again is maybe. Trees are made of wood, an insulating substance. If you touch the dry bark of a tree, you are likely not grounded. Unless the tree is wet or you touch the sap of the tree, which
For many people, it may not be practical or possible to connect barefoot or bare-skinned with the Earth. The weather may be lousy and the prospect of freezing one’s tootsies is hardly appealing. Or if the weather is good, contemporary living is so fast-paced that a meaningful hookup with the Earth may not be possible.
Besides walking barefoot, you can, of course, ground yourself by sitting on the Earth or on a chair with your feet planted on the ground, while reading a book, listening to music, or just plain relaxing. For people with foot issues or tender feet, we recommend sitting in a comfortable chair with your bare feet
We have told countless people to walk barefoot in their backyards, on the beach, in a grassy park, or on open ground where the surface is safe to walk on, and when the weather allows. The feedback is inevitably one of surprise and delight. Eileen McKusick, a sound therapist in Johnson, Vermont, expressed it his
