GROUNDING MAT

Five years ago, Charlotte took the first step in her personal healing journey with this very grounding mat. At the time, her nervous system was trapped in a state of fight, flight, or freeze. Charlotte used the mat while relaxing, watching television, and also placed it at the bottom of her bed at night to promote healing.

 

The Earth naturally carries a negative electric charge, releasing free electrons that have a stabilising effect on our body’s electrical systems. Much like the Earth, our bodies have their own electrical system, with electrical impulses regulating our cells, organs, and nervous system.

 

In ancient times, humans were constantly connected to nature. They wore minimal clothing, allowing sunlight to penetrate their skin, and lived without shoes, keeping their bare feet in direct contact with the Earth. The hands and feet have sweat glands to facilitate the absorption of free electrons from the Earth, improving cellular function. However, as society has evolved, this connection to nature has diminished. We now live in insulated homes, wear rubber-soled shoes, and are heavily reliant on technology, leading to a disconnection from the Earth’s healing properties.

 

Grounding, or earthing, was once dismissed as a fringe concept, but recent scientific advancements have acknowledged its benefits. Research now recognises that grounding promotes healing, balances and improves cellular function, calms the nervous system, reduces inflammation, enhances sleep, and alleviates stress.

 

Charlotte recommends grounding mats to all of her clients. This versatile mat serves dual purposes: it can be used as a runner at the bottom of the bed to facilitate grounding and healing during sleep, or removed for use during activities such as yoga or Pilates. It is also ideal for children to sit on while watching television or playing video games.  There are a lot of copies, fakes on the market, Charlotte dedicated extensive time to researching and sourcing these grounding mats, which have become an integral part of her daily healing routine for over five years.
