I first learned from Clint Obers Earthing , that as bioelectrical beings we should be connected to the earths electromagnetic field for proper cell function. Now that most of us wear rubber-soled shoes and live, work, and sleep off the ground, we have lost sight of that beneficial connection. The Earth Prescription provides quick, often fun, seasonal activities to connect to the earths healing energy every day. Hint: you dont have to take off your shoes; there are additional science-based ways to ground, both outside and indoors! Thank you, Laura Koniver, for giving me the how-tos Id been seeking!

Laura Konivers grounding concept was life-changing for me and my family. My first attempt at gearing up to sleep while grounded every night was a failI was too busy. In hindsight, I was too busy dying. I have yet to figure out why we integrate new ideas for improving our health when were receptive, instead of when an idea presents itself. I hope today is the day youre ready to thrive instead of merely survive, forever grounded in Laura lore.

Foreword:
by Echan Deravy

As the earthing ambassador to Japan, I have had six years of experience on the front lines of sharing this grounded message, one I learned principally from Dr. Laura Koniver.

I flew to meet Dr. Koniver in the United States, and she was kind enough to guide me on a barefoot walk through a particularly beautiful part of South Carolina, all the while answering my endless questions. Later I would interpret her talks and videos on screen to groups of participants in my Tokyo lectures. These were ordinary, hard-working people who spent most of their lives ungrounded. The overwhelmingly positive results of the changes they felt after being grounded were unequivocal. This works! Tens of thousands of Japanese are now fully aware of who Dr. Koniver is and how dedicated she is to sharing the natural benefits of connecting to earth. She never claims anything she cannot explain and back up with both objective scientific evidence along with her own experiences.

Let me make my support of this book crystal clear. Had I not learned what I did from her about the enormous benefits of grounding, I might never have had the confidence to set out on my crazy journey, one that would end up categorically proving to me that everything she had explained was true. This book will change your life, if you read it with an open mind and then practice its sage advice. It might save you years of suffering and countless precious funds. Beyond that, it may contribute to that most elusive of all human strivings: your existential happiness.

In these pages, Dr. Koniver shares with you her decades of practical application of grounding techniques and the marvelous variety of ways in which you and your loved ones can experience the natural benefits of grounding. As you will read, there is also a spiritual component to being in rhythm with your planet. We human beings are born and die on earth like all other species of life, but unlike all other species we have become disconnected from the pulsing field of energy the earth produces, and that is a big problem. Dr. Koniver has the solution. Now you can learn it for yourself, and then do your body the enormous service of putting it into practice.
