What Ang says
Tibet, now Dharamsala · Stillness
“4f. Feet on the floor (one minute, the grounding practice, good after a fright or a bad dream). Feel both feet pressing into the floor. Press them down a little. Feel the chair carrying you. Look around and name five things you can see. Then three things you can hear. Then one thing you can touch. This is what Ang teaches when someone feels far away, frightened or flooded.”

“Grounding/Earthing: Direct skin contact with the earth's surface. Proposed mechanism: electron transfer, cortisol regulation. Some studies show improved sleep and reduced pain. Evidence: weak-moderate. Practically harmless - walk barefoot outside. Grounding sheets/mats for sleep exist but evidence is limited.”
“Barefoot outside: 20-30 min daily on grass, soil, sand, or unsealed concrete. Morning sunlight + grounding = optimal combo.”

“Grounding/earthing - direct contact with the earth's surface transfers electrons that neutralize free radicals. Modern shoes and buildings insulate us”
“First intervention is ALWAYS: down-regulate. Breathing, warmth, gentle touch (even self-massage), nature, silence, grounding.”
