Earthing also poses health risks from insects on the ground that bite, such as ants and spiders. Of course, there is also exposure to feces on the ground that may not be visible easily to the naked eye. Exposure to feces can then lead to any number of infections and diseases in the body including hookworm, E.coli, roundworm, Toxoplasma, Giardia, Campylobacter, Ascaris, whipworm, and many other serious health problems.

Grounding the way that people do today by being barefoot in the soil can result in death and serious illness and disease. However, there are safe ways to ground. Grounding is about connecting with the earth and nature; it is about becoming one with them. You can become one with anything without even touching it. 

Studies done on couples showed that their brains synced up, even when they were separated from each other and unable to physically touch one another. This is similar to how you feel connected to your baby growing inside of you, or inside of your spouse, despite not being able to physically touch the baby. Twins are like this also; they are mentally and physically connected even when separated. Anyone can connect to another simply by thinking about them. Have you ever thought about someone out of the blue that you have not talked to in years, and then suddenly, they call you a day or so later? This is the same thing; it is a mental connection.

When it comes to one’s electrical charge, all humans are electrically charged. When brain waves sync up, people can become connected. You can channel the electricity within your own body through your mind. You can then take this electrical energy, this current, and reach out to the earth with it. This will help to recharge you, to put you in a more positive mental state, and to help you reach a higher level of thinking and spirituality. 

Human beings are all capable of connecting to the earth, to nature, simply through their minds, spirit, and soul. The earth can be felt all around us if we open ourselves up to it and expand our minds. Through meditation, you can feel things on a spiritual level and channel the electricity within yourself and the earth. 

If you want to ground safely, you can do so by wearing shoes. You can spray around your feet and shoes with a bug repellent or killer, such as the Natural Herbal Lotion, and then meditate in a field, prairie, beach, garden, or near a lake or pool. 

If you wish to sit on the ground, then take a blanket or mat to sit on while you meditate. Spray the blanket with a bug repellent (like the Natural Herbal Lotion) before sitting down on it. This will help protect you from ticks, spiders, and fleas that can move around and climb onto clothing, sheets, and other materials.

Grounding is very beautiful spiritually, and it really helps renew and recharge your mind and body. Grounding is enjoyable so do it if you want to; just make sure that you go about it safely so that you can reap the full benefits of earthing without harming your health and shortening your life and beauty.
