Down to Earth

The old saying “keep your feet on the ground” held new meaning for me today. I happened upon a video that explained the basic science behind grounding. Scientists explain how our bare feet on the earth sends an electrical charge through our bodies, which decreases inflammation, and ultimately has the potential to heal our physical bodies. The problem is, we insulate ourselves with our shoes and other protective gear, that keep us completely separated from the vibrational frequencies of the earth, almost 100% of the time.

We were created, designed to operate in conjunction with the earth’s electrical vibrations. It is no coincidence that there are so many pressure points on the bottoms of our feet…leading to every major part of the body. And it makes a lot of sense why God would tell Moses…”Take off your shoes from off your feet, for the place you are standing is Holy ground.” God wanted him to respect his true connection to all God had created and intended for him to absorb, feel, and understand.

I always thought of grounding as a spiritualistic concept only. Humans have a way of separating the idea of the spiritual and the physical, as if one is real and one is not. One is concrete, one is abstract. One is for sure, the other uncertain. We swing back and forth between prayer and worry, between fear and trust in God. But “a double minded-man is unstable in all his ways.”

GROUNDING brings it all together. It’s the binding tie between the spiritual and the physical. There is no in between. All of life and energy is one. God is one. We are one. God’s Spirit dwells in us, and He tells us to “quench not the Spirit” in His Word. It is written, “It is God who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.” Either we walk in awareness of the spiritual nature of our bodies, or we do not. “For if we live in the Spirit, let us walk in the Spirit.”

In order to be truly “down-to-earth,” one must become truly Spirit-filled, Sprit-led. What this looks like on the outside can vary from person to person. When we simply admit to ourselves that the world around us is united energetically with the unseen, we become “grounded.” The truth sets us free. We come to understand that all matter is in the state of vibration, and that God simply says, “Let there be light”….and there is light. God’s voice IS THE VIBRATION. He sets all things in motion.

Being truly down-to-earth means recognizing and accepting the reality of spiritual, unseen things as a scientific reality. It means I live acknowledging that God dwells in me and that I am not separate from Him because I reside in the physical realm. It means I seek true healing and understanding through the marriage of the seen and the unseen. I exist in both dimensions. I am alive. I am a child of God.
