Types of grounding or earthing

There are many types of grounding. All of them focus on reconnecting yourself to the earth. This can be done through either direct or indirect contact with the earth.
 

• Walking barefoot

Have you ever been outside on a warm summer day and felt the urge to run barefoot in the grass? One of the easiest ways to ground yourself to the earth is to walk barefoot. Whether on grass, sand, or even mud, allowing your skin to touch the natural ground can provide grounding energy.

 

• Lying on the ground

Lying on the ground can increase your skin-to-earth contact. You can do it in the grass by the park or on the sand at the beach. If you’re going to ground yourself in this way, be sure to take the proper precautions and never lie somewhere you could be injured.
 

• Submersing in water

According to advocates for grounding, water may be used to ground like the physical earth is used for grounding. They suggest simply wading in a clear lake or swimming in the ocean to ground yourself. Stay safe when swimming, especially in murky or deep waters.
 

• Using grounding equipment

When going outside to ground yourself isn’t an option, there are alternative Sources. One earthing method involves connecting a metal rod to the ground outside and then connecting the rod to your body through a wire. If you’re uncomfortable using a metal rod to ground yourself, other grounding equipment is available. This equipment is an effective way to incorporate earthing therapy into your daily life and includes:

• grounding mats

• grounding sheets or blankets​

• grounding socks

• grounding bands and patches

• You can find grounding mats, sheets, blankets, socks, and bands online.
