I can only ground on one foot, but a foot massage is daily. Bhumi has always said how important grounding is. And now we can do it on the grass. Oh you've maybe heard me say it a time or two.

A human foot is home to about 7,000 nerve endings that all correspond to specific areas of the body, which is why going barefoot and being grounded is such a great way of healing the whole body.

Fascia surrounds each muscle and connects with a fascial sheath that surrounds each organ, and then small fibres connect the sheaths around each organ down to each little cluster of cells.

In this way, we can better understand how just one small tiny piece of skin connected with the ground can nourish the whole body with the electrons required for electrical balance and healing.

When electrons enter the body through the feet, they immediately migrate upward, so the longer and more often you are connected to the earth, the better for your body, your overall health, and general well-being.

Try it.

Do it every day.

Even if it's just for 5 minutes at a time.

Make it a habit.

Your body will thank you for it.

Here's what regular grounding gives you:

- Reduces/eliminates chronic inflammation
- Reduces/eliminates pain
- Enhances immune response
- Improves sleep
- Improves blood flow
- Improves energy
- Decreases stress
- Improves hormone imbalance
- Accelerates healing

Also helps with digestion!

Stretch. Breathe. Release. 🧘‍♀️

Apanasana (Knees to Chest Pose) is a simple yet effective yoga posture that gently stretches the lower back, relaxes the hips, and helps release built-up tension. Hold the pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute, breathe deeply, and let your body unwind naturally.

Im unable to do any yoga while standing, but upper body is working. Wishing all of you a good yoga day in whatever for that entails. Golly gosh miss you all so much

The purpose of a yoga pose isn't the pose itself. It’s about preparing your body for stillness.⁠
⁠
In the classical tradition, āsana was a means of creating the physical stability and ease needed for seated meditation. Why?⁠
⁠
When the body settles, the breath slows. When the breath slows, the mind has space to quiet. And in that quiet, you begin to notice—your thoughts, patterns, sensations, and the deeper layers of your experience. You begin to witness the inextricable link between them.⁠
⁠
This is the essence of yoga—the path of union. Cultivating awareness, not just in movement, but in stillness. From that place, you can build a profound sense of inner peace, resilience, and clarity.
