Nine years ago I was suffering from anxiety. This was long before I decided to train as a health coach and nutritionist so my wellness toolbox wasn't that big. 

Meditation and yoga weren't working to calm my frayed nerves. I was seeing this naturopath who had a pretty interesting piece of advice for me. She told me to go outside everyday and stand with my bare feet in the grass for 15 minutes. 

I didn't have to do anything except stand there. I was desperate. So I did as she suggested. I didn't do it everyday. But on the days I did I felt better. If she had explained the real science behind it I may have committed as religiously to Grounding as my daily meditation practice. 

I believe to the depths of my soul that when you discover something that has merit it will find you again. Now nine years later Grounding has found me and I'm definitely hooked!

The Science

Grounding aka Earthing has really solid science behind it. There are 25 peer reviewed studies that look at...

When we first were told to practice social distancing and to stay home I was pretty easy going.

I thought three weeks and things will be back to 'normal.' But now a few weeks in I don't know when things will be 'normal' again or even what that will look like.

This time has forced me to double down on my spiritual practice as a way of keeping my own sanity and helping others. 

I want to share with you some tools that can help you cultivate hope. 

If you haven't already start a daily gratitude practice this is great time to start. Too often people are waiting for everything to be perfect in their life before they express gratitude. But if you start to come into a state of gratitude first, allow yourself to feel grateful, you'll manage to do two very important things. 

There's science that shows that those who practice gratitude for ten minutes three times a day actually have a 50% increase in their immune system after just four days! Wow! That's truly amazing.

This week I want to share with you one of my favourite ninja tricks. It's called Tapping aka Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

Tapping, as it is commonly known, is a cross between Eastern and Western healing modalities. There are 9 points that you tap during a round of tapping. Each of those points represents a different meridian point. 

While you're tapping you say a phrase or setup statement. Watch this week's video to learn all the ins and outs of this amazing healing modality.

The best thing about tapping is that it doesn't take much time and you're pretty much guaranteed to feel better. It's a great tool to use for stress, anxiety or even physical pain. You can do a couple of rounds of tapping in under two minutes... and everyone's got two minutes. Try it out for yourself!

I love hearing about your experience with the tools I'm sharing. Send me an email and let me know how your tapping experience goes. Email me at [email protected]

Until next time, be well!
