Last time we caught up I was not feeling particularly multi dimensional, more like a cynical plane of half existence. Nothing wrong with that, it's just not particularly productive or fun for me. I've been thinking about my relationship to the ground and the phrase often used by healers 'getting grounded'. I like the word 'earth'. 'Ground' now has so many other connotations ... grinder, grounded, that man was pounded. I still think that this idea of getting grounded or earthed sounds a bit vague or somehow too easy, so I'm interested to challenge myself on it. Perhaps easy and vague are exactly what I need to play with.
Getting earthed (obviously) involves connecting physically with the turf or being in conductive rich water like the sea or a healthy lake. The reasoning is that the Earth has a whole lot of negatively charged free electrons and we have a positive charge in our bodies. Back in the olden days we were earthed because we had little other choice; now our modern lifestyle means we might go for days or weeks without getting down on the ground.
For the last two days I went earth wild which was lovely, but I am wondering if (according to the grounding/earthing stuff I've looked at) I have such an excess of this 'positive charge' and need a whole lot more nature than I previously imagined. So I'm going to do 20 days of Earthing and will be sharing the results with you.
See you soon.
