Is there really benefit to sticking your bare feet in the ground (river or lake too) like a lot of people claim?
More and more am I seeing there is a lot we don't understand about nature. |

| It should give you awesome grounding! Some people have even gone so far as to bury themselves for long periods of time. What kind of claims have you heard from sticking your feet in the ground? |

Vibrations from the earth, energy. After directly experiencing that chakras are real, I'm much more open minded now. |

Other than grounding, all I know is it feels great doing so
Best benefit I can think of
Love,

Try imagining pushing roots of yourself into the ground, this is great too.
Practicing cosmic sammyama can ground you too.
It kinda fixes you in your position on earth, in relation to the sun moon and universe :)

| I recently read a book called "Earthing" by Clinton Ober and a couple of doctors (you can find it with "Earthing" and/or Clinton Ober at Amazon). It includes a lot of research about how electricity in our homes, offices, etc. affects us, and how getting in touch with the earth (being grounded - connected to the earth (including sand, grass, dirt, cement, lakes/ponds, etc.) with bare feet, or by being connected to special grounding pads that are plugged into grounding sockets). The research seems to indicate that when we become grounded, our body discharges the excess positive electrons that can build up in our body, thereby reducing inflammation in the body, and bringing great health benefits. (If you read the reviews of the book on Amazon, you'll find some amazing stories). I'm normally pretty skeptical and hard to convince, but the book convinced me, and now my husband and I sleep grounded (via a special conductive pad on our bed, which is connected to a grounding rod outside our bedroom window) and I also have a grounding pad under my feet at my computer desk. I do believe it has helped reduce my pain levels from arthritis and related stuff, and my husband said he sleeps much better, feels more refreshed in the morning, and he now rarely has to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. (something he used to do at least once every night, often twice) Whether it's real or placebo effect, I'm not sure, but it does seem to help, and the research seems convincing to me. |

Hi Green-Eyed,
welcome to the forums.
Amazing. Where I live, we've a lot of lakes etc., so I try to be at/in/on the water several times a week and it's a kick (although I'm not stuck in scenery ;-) On some hot summer mornings (very infrequent here) I even practiced my asanas at the water.
At night, I've an overlay mattress and a (winter) quilt filled with wool and peat-turf fibers to get a little earthing.

Sticking your feet in the ground?
