In Netism, there is a science to grounding practices. Natural soil is understood as part of a living current, not a neutral conductor. Viktor Schauberger, the Austrian naturalist and inventor, described the Earth as a dynamic, energetic system where flow, polarity, and resonance play essential roles. Grounding connects us to this flow. The Earth is alive with subtle electrical movement, and when we come into contact with it, we enter that circuit.
When you walk barefoot on soil, swim in natural water, or touch living trees, your body discharges excess energy and begins resonating with the Earth’s subtle electromagnetic field. You become a biological antenna, attuning to Schumann resonances, the natural frequencies that pulse between the Earth and its ionosphere.
This has proven health benefits:
– It lowers inflammation.
– It calms anxiety.
– It strengthens your energetic field.
In Japan, they practice Shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing”, which involves immersing in the living presence of the forest. Studies show that just being among trees lowers cortisol, enhances immune function, and restores harmony to the nervous system.
Some practices include:
• Walking barefoot on natural ground
• Lying on the Earth and breathing deeply
• Forest bathing or sitting quietly among trees
• Gardening or working with soil
• Using grounding stones or materials while meditating
