あらすじ・解説
If you or your child experiences anxiety, you might find relief through a simple yet powerful practice that connects you directly with the earth beneath you. The therapeutic technique of "grounding" or "earthing" involves direct physical contact with the earth's surface—walking barefoot on grass, sand, or soil. This connection with nature has been shown to help reduce stress hormones and promote a sense of calm and stability for many people. For children especially, the sensory experience of feeling different natural textures underfoot can redirect their focus away from anxious thoughts and back to present-moment awareness. This physical connection provides both a literal and metaphorical grounding effect during moments of emotional turbulence. While not a replacement for professional treatment when anxiety is severe, these grounding practices can be a helpful addition to your wellness toolkit, offering a moment of pause and reconnection when anxiety begins to rise.
