~Earthing Yourself
Thursday, August 27th, 2009 | Author: LadyHawk

How many times do you hear mothers say to their children “go outside and play”. In our house it’s daily but you won’t hear me saying “don’t forget your shoes”. I want them to go outside in bare feet and feel the grass in between their toes. You may ask why ?
Because it’s a simple process of having my boys Earth Theirselves. Kenneth Meadows once wrote about ~Earthing Yourself~ where you go outside and just glop yourself to the ground. You were suppose to have your palms down and feel the ground (if you can’t go outside then go to the floor where your at) and begin to get grounded. As your body begins to relax your allowing your excess energy drain from your hands and feet and it will be absorbed into the Earth to be returned to the source.
To continue ~Earthing Yourself your to stand up and visualize drawing up energy from the ground through your feet as if your a tree and your pulling up energy through your roots. To finish the exercise stamp each foot a couple of times and say mentally or outloud ” I am now grounded in my everyday life, safe and secure within my own energy, and fully under my own control”. This simple exercise will change your day and it doesn’t take very long.
The kids unknowingly ground themselves naturally by being outside playing so why not give them that little extra boost by telling them to go outside without their shoes, perhaps go outside with them and take a blanket and laydown and look at the clowds.

There is nothing like standing on the earth adn feeling myself grounded and connected. Thanks for reminding me to get my kids out and go ground myself as well:)
Even OTs say to do this, to help with sensory stuff
I frequently need to go outside and dig my feet into the dirt to recharge and reconnect. When I am not able or forget to, I can feel it. My children are the same way.
