Back to the roots! About the power of earthing, and walking without shoes
If you are happy and you know it…
Clap your feet! (Clap, clap) 🦶🦶
Good morning, lover boys and girls! 🤗 It is Wednesday, cyclone Nisarga is on the way to India’s west coast, and to stay safe, we anyway should stay in… thus, it is the perfect time to tune out for one hour of the anger, fear, and sorrow that social media is offering today, and to educate ourselves with a mind-opening, hopefully life-changing movie instead. 🌿
In the last two months, many of you enjoyed the documentaries shared here.
Starting with “Fantastic Fungi - The Magic beneath us”, an amazing documentary about the power of mushrooms and their relevance for our world, to “Finding Joe”, focusing on the idea of the 'hero's journey' with many interesting speakers such as Tony Hawk (my childhood crush! 💖), Deepak Chopra, Robin Sharma, Sir Ken Robinson or Mick Fleetwood, just to name a few, all the way to “Real Value”, a multi-award-winning documentary on the question of what is the ‘real cost of cheap’, I have another gem in store today.
”The Earthing Movie - The Remarkable Science of Grounding” is a 1 hour and 15 minute documentary, directed by Sundance-award winning filmmakers Josh and Rebecca Tickell. Based on the Tickell’s personal journey, it reveals the scientific phenomenon of how we can heal our bodies by doing the simplest thing that a person can do… standing barefoot on the earth! 🌿🤗 For someone like me, who hardly ever wears shoes, this makes A LOT OF SENSE.
But let’s start at the beginning. What is earthing?
Check out this cute 1.40 minute video to learn more about the idea:
We have lost contact with Mother Nature, and it’s time to return home.
The root of most contemporary diseases is the chronic inflammation of our bodies. Triggered by a constant amount of stress, an unhealthy lifestyle and a bad diet, too much information and screen time, and, in some cases, already existing ailments, our immune systems have to work in overdrive to keep us safe and healthy.
We can help our body to heal simply by connecting to earth and its endless supply of energy, if we tap into the natural power sources that runs right beneath our feet. We technically become electrical conductors! The result: reduced inflammation, release of tension, better sleep, higher levels of happiness, and - maybe most important - a deep sense of connection. 🌱🦶🌺 And all of this for free!
Watch the full documentary here (1 hour and 15 minutes) - it really blew my mind that something so simple, so effective and yet, something that costs NOTHING, is not taught to every single person on this planet.
If you want to know more, browse through this amazing beginners guide to earthing (PDF) that will explain the science in only 22 pages of great, and easy-to-understand detail.
Stay safe, my friends!
With love from Goa,
