Snowmass, Colorado – A week of learning, skiing, and reconnecting with nature.
I had the privilege of attending an Applied Kinesiology chiropractic seminar and ski trip in this breathtaking mountain setting, where I was reminded of a powerful truth:
🌿 The earth is naturally grounding. The forests, mountains, and landscapes we are drawn to hold a negative charge that helps calm and reset the human nervous system. True grounding happens when we connect directly—bare feet on the earth, immersing ourselves in nature’s intuitive healing energy.
🏔️ Balance happens in nature. The body functions better when in sync with the earth. For decades, this chiropractic group has met here in Snowmass, blending physical exertion with the deep restoration that comes from being in the mountains.
🚧 The modern world is ungrounding. Man-made materials—roads, sidewalks, buildings, plastic shoes—are positively charged, creating instability in the nervous system. This contributes to the chronic stress, health struggles, and mental unrest so common today.
✨ We seek nature for a reason. Whether it’s the mountains, the ocean, or the forest, we instinctively escape to these places to recharge. It’s not just a getaway—it’s a return to what we were designed to experience daily.
🌎 How to ground in everyday life: Step barefoot onto the earth as often as possible, whether it’s grass, sand, or soil. Bonus points if you soak in the view of trees and plant life while doing it.
Feeling grateful for the reminder—and already dreaming of my next trip to the mountains. ⛰️✨
