The Importance of Grounding

The importance of Grounding

You may have heard about grounding or seen people walking very intentionally, barefoot. You might have even seen people doing this at Deer Lake Lodge. It’s called earthing (also known as grounding), and it refers to contacting the Earth's surface to gain energy. Specifically, by walking outside without shoes or socks, you can absorb the Earth’s electrons. Yes, the negatively charged energy from the Earth can positively transfer into your body.

According to https://www.healthline.com/health/grounding, Grounding, also called earthing, is a therapeutic technique that involves doing activities that “ground” or electrically reconnect you to the earth.

Connecting to the Earth is easy and can be done outdoors by walking barefoot on the Earth's natural surfaces or indoors with an Earthing product.
