Garden walk

Feeling the blades grass between your toes, gliding your foot across the soft sand, or the first point of contact of cold water feeling as you enter the sea or pool. Barefoot we normal liken to holidays on the beach or before bed, but the feet we have is also a unique design by the creator our bare feet are actually two receptor sites, meant to be used as conduits of natural earth energies. A review published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health looked at a number of studies that highlight how drawing electrons from the earth help improve health.  Grounding as it's known appears to improve sleep, normalize the day-night cortisol rhythm, reduce pain, reduce stress, shift the autonomic nervous system from sympathetic toward parasympathetic activation, increase heart rate variability, speed wound healing, and reduce blood viscosity.  Grounding is only benefited when the person is barefoot on the earth, like being in the garden for about 30mins or more so
