Official Nadeah: 10 minutes of “grounding” (while stretching 🥰) for body pain relief

If you’re allergic to grass or sand, you might want to do this stretches on a mat instead 🤩

Sitting on grass or, even better, sand—especially barefoot or with skin contact—is often associated with a practice called “grounding” or “earthing,” which some people believe can help reduce pain, inflammation, and stress by allowing your body to absorb the earth’s electrons. While the science is still emerging and not universally accepted, some small studies and anecdotal reports do suggest potential benefits, such as:
🌼Reduced inflammation and pain
🌼Improved sleep
🌼Lower cortisol levels (stress hormone)
🌼Better mood and relaxation

But it’s not a cure-all. Sitting on grass might help ease pain if:
• Your pain is related to stress, posture, or tension, and you’re using the time to relax and reset.
• You’re soaking up sunlight (vitamin D), which helps with bone and muscle health.
• You’re gently stretching or moving while sitting, which can relieve stiffness.

That said, it’s not likely to “fix” pain that’s structural, chronic, or due to injury on its own. But it’s free, calming, and worth trying—especially combined with other approaches like stretching, hydration, or mindful breathing.

There’s no strict rule, but most grounding advocates suggest 20 to 30 minutes a day for noticeable effects—especially for reducing pain, tension, or stress. Even just 10 minutes can make a difference, especially if you’re consistent and fully present (hence this 10 minute viideo 😍)

Here are some tips to get the most out of it:
🌼Skin contact matters: bare feet, hands, or even sitting directly on the grass (no blanket) helps with grounding.
🌼Stillness helps, but so does gentle movement: try mindful breathing, stretching, or just lying down and letting your body soften into the earth.
🌼Daily is ideal: the benefits build over time, especially for things like chronic pain or nervous system regulation.
🌼Natural environments boost the effect: being near trees, water, or just in a quiet green space can enhance the calming, pain-relieving effects.

Barefoot on the beach (or sitting/lying directly on sand) can be especially powerful because:
🌊Sand is highly conductive, especially when it’s moist.
🌊Beaches are often low in artificial electromagnetic fields (EMFs), which makes grounding potentially more effective.
🌊The combination of negative ions from the sea, sunshine, and natural movement (like walking on uneven surfaces) adds extra benefits for pain, stress, and mood.

Even walking barefoot on the sand for 15–30 minutes a day can help with:
🪲Easing joint or muscle pain (especially in the feet, legs, and lower back)
🪲Improving circulation and balance
🪲Calming your nervous system

That’s all I got bebes! Have a fine fine weekend and I’ll see you for a Creativity post Monday 😘
