Reconnect to the EARTH
There is a movement of people responding to
a book called, “EARTHING” by Ober, Sinatra & Zucker. The premise of ‘earthing’ is to stand barefoot on soil, grass or concrete for at
least 30 minutes a day. The intention is
for us to realign with the electromagnetic field of the earth. And there is science in this book to prove
the benefits!
The authors go on to say that because we
wear rubber soled shoes and sleep on foam mattresses elevated off the ground;
we are losing our connection to the healing elements of the earth. There is no claim that this practice will
cure us of disease yet when our bodies our in balance disease and emotional
distress cannot manifest.
For me the past four months have been emotionally
challenging. Finding myself in deep despair,
I went to see Roz Reynolds (life-long psychic & coach) she passed me the
book “Earthing.” The moment I saw the cover I knew help was on its way. I took her advice and got my feet on the
earth as soon as I left her office.
I found that even after 10 minutes with my bare
feet standing on the cool red rocks, my mood had shifted from sadness to
joy. Within a few days all my creativity
came flushing back in, inspiring me to create and publish this good news newspaper.
It is interesting how life comes in ebbs and
flows. Our Angels always bring us what
we need at just the right time. This was
not the first time I had felt the energy of the earth in this way. A few years back I was living in L.A. finding
myself in another slump. As I walked
through my neighborhood I saw a house for sale.
Being curious I poked my head in to take a look. No one was there so I opened the back gate. When I saw the green grass I felt guided to
lay face down on the earth.
I felt some apprehension about doing this as
I was unsure as to when the owners might show up, and how they would respond to
find a woman laying face down in their backyard. Contemplating the risks - I did it anyway!
I took some deep breaths, thanked my angels
for a beautiful sunny day and pressed my heart and forehead into the
earth. It took a moment for my hips and
legs to relax, yet as soon as they did I felt a wave of energy run through my
core. My entire body pulsed as I took in
a large breath. Then without any warning
I went out of consciousness. No
thoughts, no memories! I awoke sometime
later totally refreshed and alive.
I later came to realize that the earth
connection had awakened the kundalini energy in my body, and the doorway to the
mystical.
Sometimes we have a great opening like this
and then we get busy in life and we forget, as had happened to me this past
fall. I now understand that God gives us
only what we can handle and the doorway to truth, to bliss continues to open as
we prepare ourselves to receive.

hope this article helps remind you that the earth is our trusted friend. As we are kind to Her She returns the same
favor – she is a living being and She is here to reconnect us in so many
ways. I encourage you to give EARTHING a
try. Let me know how it goes.
This beautiful imagery was drawn by Gerado Altamirano Lopez.
I had asked him to sketch me a girl who's feet would turn into roots like a tree to connect in with the center of the earth. It is a reminder that we can all do this daily. His art goes on to tell another story as the woman looks at the tree stump - an awareness of what humans do to the tress through unconscious acts -- yet as conscious beings we can choose to make different choices -- we can choose to be ONE with the Divine Mother EARTH.
Many blessings to you all.
You can pick up THE SEDONAH SUNN in VOC, Sedona & Cottonwood coffee shops or read it on-line here!
Great reminder. Just found this in my e-mail lol. I can have a hard time getting myself to Earth, even in Sedona it was like, well I have to carry my shoes with me so I can put them back on when I need to.... theres trails that feel good on my feet but I have to walk through the concrete jungle to get to them..... back here in Indiana, theres less nature... and more cold. . . I think I might still be able to manage this, I need the Earth healing..
