Earthing for Healthy Blood Pressure and Heart Health

According to the renowned integrative cardiologist Stephen Sinatra M.D., co-author of Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever, Earthing can have potent effects for healthy blood pressure.

“Blood should flow like red wine—smoothly and easily,” he says. “Too many people have thicker blood, more like ketchup. That takes a lot more effort from the heart to circulate, and the pressure against the inside of arteries and blood vessels is much higher!” Thinning the blood helps to lower blood pressure…and Earthing can help thin the blood.

“Indications are that Earthing is indeed a natural solution to thinning the blood,” says Dr. Sinatra. “Earthing’s positive effects on blood viscosity are so impressive, in fact, that those on certain medications, such as prescription blood thinners, need to be careful when beginning an Earthing program.”

Other studies have shown Earthing may support heart health in other ways, as well, including reducing stress…balancing the autonomic nervous system…and managing levels of cholesterol (a stress hormone).

If we can understand the beauty of nature and how it gives everything it has selflessly then we can surely lead a life filled with peace and harmony.

It’s true that nature always so full of love. Amazingly it’s what we want it to be sometimes warm, sometimes soothing, relieving, refreshing, healing, a little naughty, and innocent but understanding it’s loving

Yes. Nurturing the nature amounts to nurturing ourselves. For natural cycles to remain favorable to us we have to involve our mind and body to keep nurturing the positive aspects of our ambiance and ecological surroundings. We live in an interdependent world and can't afford to ignore even a single element of the nature. This has got to be nurtured scientifically!

To sustain our inner nature, we need sustenance by outer nature!

Whenever feel little depleted --just sit all alone under the sky and with nature anywhere any spot available and feel the difference.

Let us also give back to nature what we take from her. Resources should be renewed constantly for survival.

1 Since "Humanity' did not nurture with "Nature", but nurtured on Nature and also nurtured faster than the Nature its resources are near depletion. It's high time for humanity to nurture the Nature more and the Nature must nurture the humanity lesser for replenishment of its resources.

2 Nurture with The Nature refers to nurturing of humanity with equitable nurturing of the Nature. It means that consumption of the Nature's resources by humanity must be optimum to keep pace with the Nature's nurturing requirements. The nurture of the Nature and humanity must be equal in pace and opposite in nurturing substances [nutrients]. To exemplify oxygen is given off as bye product in the atmosphere by the plants and vegetation's which is consumed [inhaled] by animals including human for survival; opposed to this carbon-di-oxide is emitted by the animals and human as respiratory waste product, this is consumed by the plants and vegetation's for energy production through photosynthesis [nutrients and medicinal substances synthesis]. The excretory waste [faeces and urine] of animals and human are used as fertilizer to catalyze the plants and vegetation growth rate. Thus plants and human are interdependent through mechanism of feedback regulation; this applies to other inanimate forms of the Nature and human.

Far from the maddening crowd, rainbows shine through silver clouds, songs of birds echo across flowering valleys, waterfalls cascade down majestic mountains and we pause to wonder about the poetic painter whose imagination creates sheer miracles on the canvas of the Universe.

As the sunflower turns towards the sun to soak in its energies, when we surrender to the warm embrace of nature, fatigue gives way to vigor and the mind finds new strength.

‘Nature cures, not the physician.’ Hippocrates recognized the powerful attribute of nature. In its pure, unpolluted state, nature contains all the energetic and spiritual elements needed for life and vitality!

Why do wind and water, trees and ether have this wondrous effect on us? It’s because all of creation including the human body comprise of the very elements that prakriti प्रकृति or nature is made up of. Prakriti प्रकृति and Purusha पुरुष are the two different aspects of the manifest Brahmn ब्रह्म, known as Iswara ईश्वर. Purush पुरुष sets in motion the entire creative process and Prakriti प्रकृति gives shape and signifies pure energy.

Nature consists of life force or prana प्राण , by which all living entities are upheld, and, on manifestation, nature takes on the forms of earth, water, fire, air and ether. When we are physically and emotionally depleted, we lose these life-sustaining energies and negative energy accumulates, resulting in disease and disharmony. But nature automatically helps us discharge negative energy and recharges us with its life giving force! John Muir, the naturalist says, ‘Nature is always lovely, invincible, glad. Whatever is done and suffered by her creatures, all scars, she heals’!

Here’s how different elements of nature help rejuvenate and heal us:

Trees & Air: The energy converting activity of photosynthesis — the constant cycle of conversion by green plants — maintains the earth’s natural balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen. In the midst of green trees, our negativity is absorbed, and replenished with positive energy, making us feel better. A simple walk in the woods, or sitting under the shade of trees enhances our well-being.

Flowers: Flowers are powerful energy givers. When someone is unwell, we bring them flowers, helping them feel better. We also send flowers, along with loving thoughts to comfort the bereaved. And countless, invaluable herbs like basil and thyme are used in healing.

Earth: Just as we try to reach up to the heavens to receive its blessings, we need to reach down to mother earth to take away our negativity. Spending time in the garden gives us a calm connect with all of life. As we dig our fingers deep into the soft earth, we can feel its energy and our spirits soar! Walking barefoot on the ground or along the beach saying our meditation mantra is also a powerful way to heal.

Water: Rivers, lakes and oceans make us part of the flow, washing away resentment and help us cleanse ourselves physically and emotionally. Bathing is a sacred renewal, discarding the old and embracing the new.

Fire: Fire is an active force reflecting the passion and creativity within us. It can animate and create with its colours of red, orange and yellow. Thus, lighting diyas दिया  or earthen lamps in our homes, helps keep the environment pure and free of negativity.

Mountains: Nature’s peace and the pure air refresh us as we climb up the mountains. They influence us with their sense of stability and strength as we climb up. We find the will to touch skies, which otherwise seem unreachable. Sir Edmund Hillary said, ‘It is not the mountains we conquer, but ourselves’.

Ether: The fundamental element is ‘Akashik आकाशीय Intelligence’. Turning our hands upwards and consciously drawing in the blessings from the power we believe in, will enable the channels in our fingers to open and we will feel life flowing in with a tingling sensation.

If constraints do not allow us to ‘get away’, we can receive similar benefits by gazing at a blue sky overhead or a scenic painting, and practicing visualization. ‘God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars’, said Martin Luther.

The luminous star of Bethlehem led the wise men of the East to the manger where Jesus was born and Buddha बुध्द found enlightenment under the Bodhi बोधी tree.

Nature is the flutist and we the flute! When there is no disharmony and ego within, nature plays incomparable divine music through us.
