Produktbeschreibung

Harness the healing power of earth's energies with this accessible guide to the scientifically supported practice of grounding. Have you experienced the calm of a walk in the woods or how your spirits feel lifted after a day at the beach? Science is showing that nature doesn't just feel good-it has the power to heal. The electromagnetism of the earth's surface interacts with our bodies in profound and measurable ways. Grounding, or earthing, the practice of physically and energetically connecting to the earth, is quickly gaining traction as a wellness practice and as a powerful way to unplug from the constant technology and stress of our everyday lives. Scientific research has demonstrated that being outside can benefit people in measurable ways and reduce symptoms of modern illnesses, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and inflammation. The Grounding Companion is your practical guide to using nature as medicine. This compact and gifty reference gives you the fascinating science of grounding and simple grounding practices you can use anywhere, anytime to reap the benefits of this powerful practice.
