The Healing Power of Grounding: A Simple Practice with Profound Benefits

The Grounding Benefits by Dr. Shopana Ganpath | Internal Medicine

What Is Grounding?

Grounding (or earthing) is the practice of making direct contact with the Earth—like walking barefoot on grass, soil, or sand. It may seem simple, but this natural connection can have powerful effects on your health.

Why It Matters?

Our bodies carry electrical energy, just like the Earth. When we connect directly with the ground, we absorb natural electrons that help reduce inflammation, balance our nervous system, and support overall wellness.

Benefits of Grounding

Grounding may help:

• Reduce stress and anxiety

• Improve sleep

• Decrease inflammation

• Support pain relief

• Improve energy and mood

It’s a gentle, natural way to support healing—inside and out.

Easy Ways to Ground

You don’t need anything fancy to start. Just:

• Walk barefoot in your yard or local park

• Sit outside with your hands touching the ground

• Spend time gardening without gloves

• Lie on the beach or grass

Even 10–20 minutes a day can make a difference.

A Note from Dr. Shopana Ganpath

At Glow Circle by Dr. G, we focus on healing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Grounding is one of the simplest tools we can use to support that balance. Take a few moments each day to step outside, breathe deeply, and reconnect. Sometimes, nature is the best medicine.
