The call of nature is undeniable to some, and unsettling to others. Each retreats into the world they’ve learned to love, the version of reality that feels safe. Today the scale tips to the extremes as some lean toward transhumanism and others toward pure naturalists. Extremes are typically seen before periods of something dying out, a threshold of transformation. Whether you believe the Earth is splitting along spiritual timelines or recognize how forever chemicals are reshaping our biology, maybe both, the question remains:
What is your role in this new creation story?
And how do you stay healthy during a time of such profound transition?

Grounding and Healing
There are answers, some simple, some sacred. Below, you’ll find both: the spiritual logic and scientific rhythm of grounding. A framework to help you explore where you fit in this creation story.
The Origin of Flesh and Earth: Clay, Blood & Sovereignty
In the Mesopotamian creation records (clay tablets), humans were said to be formed from clay and the blood of Kingu, a sacrificed god. The tablets have been translated a few different ways but also recount. . . “let us hear the drum for the rest of the time. From the flesh of the god let a spirit remain…”
Born out of a time of revolt from previous gods assigned to the work of Enlil. To be human, then, is to be grounded in both the material world and the mythic inheritance of rebellion and divine responsibility. In this way, humans have a special connection to Earth and the cosmos. Bridging a gap between the wisdom of the mind into a form that exists and is connected to Earth. Humans act as an octave between the Earth and the cosmos, allowing her to access wisdom through this biological activity. There are forms and teachings of this story throughout the different cultures of ancient times and versions that are taught in modern times.
Do you believe in the connection of humanity to Earth and the cosmos as is recorded in ancient history? Does it resonate as a myth or as ancient history that is ready to be known?
You can find a good resource for the Atra-Hasis here.
Exploring ancient human history can help us to explore further our beliefs in human health, both spiritually and physically. Below, we’ll explore how grounding, the modern term for connecting with Earth, from the physical and spiritual sense of the practice. When we talk about grounding, we’re not just talking about feeling safe in your body.
We’re talking about reclaiming your place between worlds.
Consciousness, the Body & Earth: Where Do You Reside?
Planetary consciousness aside, what do you believe about your own? Does it reside in your body?
Your brain is not the source of your mind, it’s a processor for it.
Consciousness flows through your subtle energy body, with the human form acting like a receiver. Grounding is the act of tuning it.
The mind exists within the etheric layer of the subtle energy body. You don’t need a human brain to access consciousness, but the brain does act as a processor. Like a receiver or an antenna. One that can be tuned, like the whole body, really.
Spiritual Grounding: Chakras and Elemental Wisdom
Spiritual grounding isn’t just about calming anxiety, it’s about embodiment.
True healing requires us to bring divine wisdom into tangible form, and that process begins at the root chakra and extends into the Earth Star Chakra, your ethereal grounding point.
Elemental magic begins here, through the quiet collaboration between Earth and energy, between Tiamet and the trauma you’ve survived.
With the mind existing in the subtle energy body, how do you ground? It would seem it’s a blend of emotional attunement and physical health. As your fascia can store emotions (biochemical signatures) in parts of the body, they affect what frequencies the body can pick up and process. There is a spiritual healing process for the subconscious mind that works to identify emotional associations that we’ve stored as personal law unknowingly.
The most important piece of spiritual grounding is to always start at the root chakra.
But beneath that, there’s another layer of support, what many call the Earth Star Chakra.
This chakra overlaps with the subtle field and acts like an energetic ground for the mind, offloading excess or radical energy much like an electrical system.
By starting here, you activate the natural supportive forces of the Earth, which is especially important during deep healing processes.
You’re not just grounding into the dirt. You’re grounding into wisdom, the consciousness of the Earth herself. Her intelligence is ancient, felt through wind, stone, tide, and root; the elementals. A piece of Tiamet, Ki in the ancient scripts, her knowledge is vast and has been with humanity since the beginning. And when you work with it intentionally, this is where elemental magic begins, not as something to control, but something to listen to and collaborate with.
Science + Sacred: The Benefits of Staying Plugged In
Regardless, you must start the root chakra; it is so important because it grounds the spiritual wisdom that is from out of this world into this world. This is healthy trauma evolution as you begin to look for spiritual answers to spiritual-level crimes and injustice. We can use divine wisdom but need to ground it into something tangible for our existence on Earth. The root chakra has to be in a healthy and supportive state in order to do this, and if you’d like. The Earth Star chakra serves as a powerful ethereal ground for integrating spiritual wisdom into the physical body.
You know about grounding practices, and we’ll cover some more modern options in a minute, but for More on what this healing process looks like, visit this article on an example of clearing the primary chakras. This is a process for placing new biochemical signatures into our bodies and attuning to different frequencies. Aka … the general lingo of “law of attraction” ideas.
To truly create something different, you have to be someone different. This is a process for biologically doing that while tapping into all the ancient wisdom that is available to you. Some of this Earth and some that are not, but both that are inherent to you by design.
From reduced inflammation and anxiety to measurable shifts in brainwave activity, grounding has scientific validation. But it also has spiritual lineage, your ability to receive Earth’s wisdom depends on how well you’re able to be in your body.
Grounding Health Benefits
Technology is now at a point where there is the capability to measure the effects of grounding. The benefits are wide and measurable. Given the vastness of bioenergetics, this is not surprising. Science and health studies have found grounding to reduce blood clotting, decrease anxiety, reduce inflammation even in the brain which also affects the types of brainwaves that are produced and improve mood.
Grounding the Body
The human body is a biomechanical and bioenergetic machine. The mechanical pieces are tissues, bones, and muscles; the bioelectrical portion is the electrical impulses running the body. These electrical pulses are the heartbeat, thoughts in the brain, and the lung’s breathing movement. These basic functions need a clean electrical circuit to run smoothly.
Electrical circuits need a ground to offload excess or radical energy. This is also true for the human body. Many of us won’t be able to accommodate a barefoot lifestyle, and sometimes, it’s not the safest option available, like on city streets, where there might be glass.
Luckily, people have seen this gap and gone after designing products that will act as a ground for the body. Just by sitting in a chair or wearing shoes, you add an electrical ground to the body to offload any excess energy.
This is where sovereign energy starts with accessible options on physically grounding your body. One of the most comfortable ways to work with physical grounding is through the minor chakras in the hands and feet. you can do this while lying in a park, sun gazing, or sitting beneath an old oak tree. I’m considering making the Earth Star chapter available soon but until then sovereign energy theory is available on the Lumyst app.
Physical Grounding Tools: Modern Rituals That Work
For those who feel safe in the city or who have to spend more time at work or home than outdoors. Here are seven grounding products that you can use easily in everyday life. The most widely used is the grounding mat.
Use the tools. Not as a replacement for intuition, but as an amplifier.
Grounding Mats
Grounding mats are one of the most accessible ways to support energetic clarity indoors. Designed to connect to the ground port of a standard electrical outlet, these mats create a direct pathway for excess energy to offload into the Earth, just like an electrical system finding its neutral.
They’re often used in offices, bedrooms, or meditation spaces and can be especially supportive during nervous system resets or emotional release work.
Below are three mat options for standing, sitting, or sleeping. I’m not sure there is a much easier health protocol than grounding during your sleep.
You could put a grounding mat in the kitchen as you cook or near a desk setup. You could even use this mat while reading, studying, or working on creative projects. You could even use this mat at your desk if you’re comfortable enough or have a casual work environment. This mat is Amazon’s number one overall pick and best seller.
Grounding mats are also sold in different sizes, this one is even sold as a two-pack. In case you want to cover the kitchen and the office.
Ground Mat for Bed
Night-time support! Grounding mats designed for the bed allow you to reconnect with Earth’s frequency while you sleep. These mats are typically placed beneath your regular sheets and plug into a grounded outlet, providing a subtle energetic release throughout the night.
Sleep is one of the most potent times for subconscious recalibration and nervous system integration. A grounded sleep space can be especially helpful during spiritual work, emotional detox, or trauma recovery cycles. As opposed to standing, there are mats that are also made to go onto the mattress, and then you can place your normal sheets over the top of them.
Grounding Mat for Chair
If you spend much of your day seated—whether at a desk, in therapy, or in creative work—a smaller grounding mat can be placed under your feet or beneath your seat. It provides a consistent, gentle ground without requiring you to be barefoot or outdoors.
This is a practical way to support mental clarity, emotional processing, and subtle energy flow while staying connected to the Earth, even in the middle of your workday.
Two other convenient grounding tools used during sleep are grounding blankets and sheets. These sheets fit over your mattress and plug into an outlet. All you have to do to get the benefits is sleep like you normally would.
Grounding Blanket
A grounding blanket is a portable option that allows you to receive the benefits of an Earth connection while resting, reading, or simply relaxing. It’s especially useful in the evening, whether you’re winding down before bed or watching a show on the couch.
It’s a blend of subtle energy hygiene and physical comfort, ideal for sensitives, seekers, or anyone in recovery.
Grounding Sheets
Grounding sheets are designed to transform your entire sleep surface into a healing field. Woven with conductive threads, these sheets connect to a grounded outlet and allow your body to offload static charge, inflammation, and tension as you rest.
For those who struggle with restless sleep, fatigue, or chronic stress, this is a simple yet powerful way to support deep recovery.
Available in multiple sizes and colors, grounding sheets offer a low-effort way to restore balance while you sleep.
If you have trouble sleeping, grounding sheets might be a great option.
And they even come in a few different colors as well as King mattress sizes.
Grounding Shoes
Grounding shoes are a wearable way to reconnect with the Earth in your everyday life—especially when going barefoot isn’t practical or safe. Designed with conductive materials (often a copper or carbon strip in the sole), these shoes create a direct channel between your body and the Earth’s energetic field.
Every step becomes an offloading moment. A reminder that you are in a constant relationship with the ground beneath you.
This is a powerful option for those in urban environments, frequent travelers, or anyone seeking to turn routine movement into a grounding ritual.
Modern grounding shoes now come in a variety of styles, from casual sandals to athletic sneakers to dress shoes—allowing you to stay connected no matter where you walk.
If you’re in need of some closed toe formal grounding shoes there are also grounding socks that aid in the connectivity of your foot and the shoe.
Grounding Socks
If you require the tennis shoes style Harmony 783 also has grounding socks.
Grounding socks are a supportive companion to grounding shoes, especially when closed-toe styles are your go-to. These socks are woven with conductive fibers that help maintain the energetic connection between your foot and the Earth, even when there’s a layer of shoe in between.
They’re especially helpful in colder months or formal settings where barefoot grounding isn’t an option, but your nervous system still craves the regulating effect of Earth contact.
When paired with grounding footwear, these socks complete the circuit, allowing every step to continue the healing process.
The Path Forward: Embodied Sovereignty
This is where safe Sovereign Energy begins. Grounding isn’t just a health hack, it’s a spiritual imperative and a scientific safety. When you choose to ground into wisdom and the Earth you can create from the divine and ancient forces.
Start with the root. Call in the Earth Star and let the elementals walk and speak to you.
If you’re ready to deepen this work, Sovereign Energy Theory is available now inside the Lumyst app.
