Cortisol is a hormone that is crucial for metabolism, blood pressure, and the fight/flight response. Levels fluctuate naturally but when levels are too high or too low for long periods of time, it can affect weight, blood sugar, mood, and energy levels. Many people with trauma histories struggle to maintain healthy cortisol levels. Maintaining normal cortisol levels is imperative for healing from trauma.

Grounding refers to making physical contact with the ground—by standing on it with bare feet or by sleeping on the ground—and absorbing the earth’s electrons. Grounding reduces inflammation, pain, and stress, and it improves blood flow, energy, and sleep (Menigoz et al., 2020). It also improves the overall modulation of the vagal response (Sokal & Sokal, 2011), an important pathway of self-regulation.

You can ground yourself simply by walking barefoot in the morning dew, whether that’s on a sandy beach, on the forest floor, or in your backyard. Finding a few minutes every day to touch the ground can have powerful therapeutic effects.
