Grounding: The importance and benefits

Grounding is the practice of connecting with the earth's energy. It can be done by walking barefoot outside, sitting or lying on the ground, gardening, holding a grounding crystal, or taking a grounding shower.

Benefits of grounding

Grounding has many benefits for both physical and mental health. It can help to:

Reduce stress and anxiety

Improve sleep

Reduce pain

Boost immunity

Improve mood

Increase energy

Enhance creativity

Improve focus

Strengthen connection to nature

Promote overall well-being

How to ground yourself

There are many ways to ground yourself. Some of the most common methods include:

Walking barefoot outside: Walking barefoot outside is one of the best ways to ground yourself. The direct contact with the earth helps to transfer electrons from the earth to your body.

Sit or lie on the ground: Another way to ground yourself is to sit or lie on the ground. This allows you to connect with the earth's energy and feel more grounded.

Garden: Gardening is a great way to ground yourself. When you work in the garden, you're directly connected to the earth and its energy.

Hold a grounding crystal: Holding a grounding crystal, such as a black tourmaline or hematite, can help to ground you. These crystals help to absorb negative energy and promote grounding.

Take a grounding shower: Taking a grounding shower can help to ground you. The water helps to wash away negative energy and promote grounding.

Grounding is a simple and effective way to improve your health and well-being.

The Legacy of Ayurvedic Wisdom: Women as Custodians of Healing Traditions

Unveiling the Essence of Feminine Ayurveda: Rediscovering Ancient Wisdom Before the colonisation of India, Ayurveda thrived not merely as a medical system, but as a sacred journey intertwining medicine and spirituality. Healing was viewed as a holistic endeavor, where body and spirit coalesced seamlessly. However, with the advent of British rule, India’s approach to medicine underwent a profound…

So, when I look up info about elements I find something about either witchcraft, zodiac, astrology, or something like that. Where can I find information that involves just simply and naturally connecting with them more as an element to benefit myself without finding something that involves things like that…? There has to be something. There has to be a way to separate simple elements from those type of things. I rather not get involved in that. Is there anything for Christians? Also for things like earth it mentions activities that I can’t really do since I have a chronic illness (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome with chronic pain & fatigue). I can’t go out and walk or do much of earthing with pokey stickers in the ground where I live. This isn’t meant to be offensive to anyone. I just want something tailored to me too.

The Often-Overlooked Benefits of Tiny Homes: A New Perspective

When most people think about tiny homes, they tend to focus on the benefits of living a minimalist lifestyle, reducing their carbon footprint, and lowering their expenses. While these are all certainly valid advantages of tiny homes, there are many other benefits that often go overlooked. In this post, we’ll explore some of these less-talked-about benefits of tiny homes and show you how they can…

Avatar (2009)

The Last Airbender????

Avatar has been hailed as a visually stunning and emotionally powerful film. Directed by James Cameron, the film is set in a distant future where humans have depleted Earth’s resources and are now seeking new resources on other planets. The film’s portrayal of the conflict between the humans and the Na’vi is also thought-provoking. The humans, driven by greed and a desire for resources, are…

I feel like Lucy Gray’s fashion sense had an influence on the Capitol. It’s mentioned in the book that she’s wearing makeup, which is notable to Coriolanus and he wonders where she got it from since it was barely becoming accessible again in the Capitol. In the movie one of his classmates mocks what she is wearing, asking if she thinks she’s a clown. It isn’t common to dress like her, but she owns her own style and the Capitol LOVES her. Coriolanus, as he tries to get sponsors for her, makes the case that since she is Covey perhaps she isn’t really district at all, in fact she’s really more Capitol than anything… and perhaps it rubbed off. Perhaps her sense of extra-ness, her fun makeup even at the reaping, her colorful dress at a dark occasion….perhaps that’s one part of her legacy that never truly goes away, even when the name of Lucy Gray Baird is erased from the memories of the people of Panem.

#I know it’s a stretch… #but it really stood out to me #like #someone saying ‘who does she think she is a clown’ in THE HUNGER GAMES? #out of the mouth of someone from the CAPITOL? #plus that line in the book about where her makeup came from #someone from the Capitol seriously surprised to see somebody in makeup #it’s possible they just continued to evolve as a culture #and they naturally assumed a more colorful and over-the-top style #but no I’m going to connect it to Lucy Gray bc I love her #lucy gray baird #coriolanus snow #tbosbas #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #the hunger games #tbosas

I think a really fun idea to explore with Tim would be the idea of him having Hyperthymesia.

Hyperthymesia is an ability that allows people to recall almost every event of their life in great detail. It's extremely rare and honestly doesn't have that much research done on it, but recent studies have suggested that people with this ability are limited to autobiographical memories, people with HSAM sometime tend to show symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and may demonstrate obsessive tendencies.

I think it would be an interesting way to explain why Tim was able to recall his first meeting with Dick Grayson and connect the dots to seeing Robin. Tim does display a lot of obsessive behaviours, and while he doesn't really physically display compulsion (like someone with OCD would typically display) there certainly is a strong case to be made for him potentially having it.

But also, can you imagine how fucking horrible it would be for Tim to remember each and every traumatic thing that ever happens to him as a hero and those memories just never fading. Yes, it would make him a better detective and allow him to be arguably smarter than your average joe, but at what cost?

#tim drake #batman and robin #red robin #red robin comics #dc comics #dcu #dc universe #i just think it would be a really cool concept to explore #like finally giving an explanation on why a 9 year old was able to connect these dots when kids are naturally forgetful #tim being faced with the horrible fate of never being able to forget anything ever #like yeah he remembers the good things and remembers little details that he doesn't have to double check #but also...he remembers everything else #i would like to note though that this is a really REALLY rare ability #like as of last year there were like 62 peopel documented to have it rare #i do wanna note tho #that hsam doesn't affect your intelligence #so tim being super smart is just a tim thing #little weirdo

I need to offload my art somewhere outside of my usual sphere #anyways yeah. yeah #I just think making direct eye contact with the person your murder victim is supposed to mirror before murdering them is kinda vibe #thinking abt kipperlily and kristen and how kipperlily was meant to be riz's foil but #genuinely kristen works so much better as foil for her instead. like how would beardsley ever not have swooped in to steal this off of #murph's plate. order vs chaos. embracing the rules vs rejecting them for having always fallen through the crack by your nature #so my busted ass brain saw this moment of kipperlily KILLING kristen's foil and I went insane like she took him out of the equation #HE is no longer kristen's foil. KIPPERLILY is now. deranged I need to draw this Immediately #kristen seeing kipperlily with true sight... smiling at her..... the interference that now narratively connects them do you see #can anyone hear me. hello

there's something about the way people talk about john gaius (incl the way the author writes him) that is like. so absent of any connection to te ao māori that it's really discomforting. like even in posts that acknowledge him as not being white, they still talk about him like a white, american leftist guy in a way that makes it clear people just AREN'T perceiving him as a māori man from aotearoa.

and it's just really serves to hammer home how powerful and pervasive whiteness and american hegemony is. because TLT is probably the single most Kiwi series in years to explode on the global stage, and all the things i find fraught about it as a pākehā woman reading a series by a pākehā author are illegible to a greater fandom of americans discoursing about whether or not memes are a valid way of portraying queer love.

idk the part of my brain that lights up every time i see a capital Z printed somewhere because of the New Zealand Mentioned??? instinct will always be proud of these books and muir. but i find myself caught in this midpoint of excitement and validation over my culture finding a place on the global stage, frustration at how kiwi humour and means of conveying emotion is misinterpreted or declared facile by an international audience, frustrated also by how that international audience runs the characters in this book through a filter of american whiteness before it bothers to interpret them, and ESPECIALLY frustrated by how muir has done a pretty middling job of portraying te ao māori and the māoriness of her characters, but tht conversation doesn't circulate in the same way* because a big part of the audience doesn't even realise the conversation is there to be had.

which is not to say that muir has done a huge glaring racism that non-kiwis haven't noticed or anything, but rather that there are very definitely things that she has done well, things that she has done poorly, things that she didn't think about in the first book that she has tacked on or expanded upon in the later books, that are all worthy of discussion and critique that can't happen when the popular posts that float past my dash are about how this indigenous man is 'guy who won't shut up about having gone to oxford'

*to be clear here, i'm not saying these conversations have never happened, just that in terms of like, ambient posts that float round my very dykey dash, the discussions and meta that circulate on this the lesbian social media, are overwhelmingly stripped of any connection to aotearoa in general, let alone te ao māori in specific. and because of the nature of american internet hegemony this just,,,isn't noticed, because how does a fish know it's in the ocean u know? i have seen discussions along these lines come up, and it's there if i specifically go looking for it, but it's not present in the bulk of tlt content that has its own circulatory life and i jut find that grim and a part of why the fandom is difficult to engage with.

#tlt #the locked tomb #i don't really have an answer lmao this is more #an expression of frustration and discomfort #over the way posts about john gaius seem to have very little connection to the background muir actually gave him #like you cant describe him as an educated leftist bisexual man #without INCLUDING that he is māori #that has an impact! that has weight and importance! #that is a background to every decision he makes #from the meat wall to the nuke to his relationship with the earth #and it also has weight and importance in the decisions that muir makes in writing him #it is not a neutral decision that he's known as john gaius lmao #it's not a neutral decision that the empire is explicitly of roman/latin extraction #it's not even neutral that this is a book about necromancy #it's certainly not a neutral fucking decision that john was at one point a māori man living in the bush #when the nz govt decided to send cops in #like that is a thing that happens here! that is a reference to nz cultural and political events that informs john's character and actions #and with the nature of who john is in the story #informs the narrative as a whole #and i think the tiresome part of this experience is that #in general #americans are not well positioned to understand that something might be being written from outside their experience as a default #like obviously many many americans in online leftist & queer spaces are willing to learn and take on new information #but so much of the conversation starts from a place of having to explain that forests exist to fish

"The human body is not a closed or static object, but an open, unfinished entity utterly entwined with the soils, waters, and winds that move through it—a wild creature whose life is contingent upon the multiple other lives that surround it, and the shifting flows that surge through it."

Crying.

You might be wondering what triggers our particular enthusiasm for sobbing today. Well, there we were, minding our collective business, browsing away as per, when we came across this absolutely devasting (good devastate) reblog thread.

Dear Reader, we are in pieces (good pieces.)

And remember, folks, not all tears are an evil x

An Iberian lynx takes its first steps after being released in the Sierra de Arana mountain range near Granada, Spain. Five Iberian lynxes, three females and two males, were released in a mountainous area of Andalusi as part of the LIFE Lynx Connect project to repopulate this native species from the Iberian peninsula in the ecosystems most adapted to its characteristics
