A few weeks ago the universe aligned in such a way that I had five clients back-to-back in one day. Each session happened to be one of those “break though” healings; intense and profound. What an amazing day! I felt great that night, but the next morning I woke up totally spaced out. I had three healings scheduled starting at 2 pm, and I had to get grounded.
When coffee, a high protein breakfast and meditating didn’t snap me out of it, I did some Earthing. I took off my shoes, stood barefoot in the garden at my office, and in 20 minutes I felt so much better. OMG, what a difference. I was ready to work.
So this week I would like to share an interview with Rev. Rosalyn Bruyere on Grounding and a few links on the practice of Earthing.
Rev. Rosalyn Bruyere is a well-respected elder, healer, teacher and founder/director of the Healing Light Center Church. Her book, Wheels Of Light, is a classic in the healing arts.
In the video above, Rev. Rosalyn Bruyere talks about how our physical, emotional and mental functions are regulated in the first three chakras. The first chakra is our primary life force; it even governs the replication of the cells in our body. In western culture, we tend to bring energy in from our head and are not as aware of our connection to the planet. Rev. Bruyere shares that indigenous people are very conscious of also bringing energy from the ground up for support and energy.
Rev. Bruyere states that Healers who are not grounded are much more susceptible to burning out. We all can live more fully and feel so much better when we have the connection and support from the earth.
What I did to ground myself the day after that wonderful healing marathon was called Earthing. When you feel spacey or irritable, just try standing on the grass or earth for 20 minutes and see how you feel. It’s easy, costs nothing, and I swear you will feel different.

Let me know how it goes and have a good week.

Perfect timing! I have been in Germany for a week and still am awake 2-3 hours in the night every night. It never occurred to do earthing. I’m going to try it right now (before it rains)!
Report back!!!!
GREAT Article!!! As technology is progressively moving us from the elemental power of the Earth, this is a powerful and potent reminder for all…thank you Jeri!
Dear Jeri, as I write this, I’m in the air flying over Phoenix on my way to LA. I bought a ticket on a whim to join a chorus this weekend. I recently decided to celebrate a new decade by bringing out my inner singer. This morning in Coney Island instead of any sort of thoughts on what to pack…I went to the beach and felt the warm sand and stretched and walked and soon I found myself doing my form of earthing…diving in the sea. I’m sure I forgot many things for this trip…but feeling grounded about this sudden decision to travel and pursue …nay …launch a creative endeavor is all the packing I needed. Thank you for this! Earthing! Wonderful! Love, Hawley
