Grounding                     & Lymph Flow

One of the most powerful things you can do, is ground yourself daily. Meditating, being in nature, thankful journal, deep breathing, getting your bare feet or body on the earth (on dirt, rocks, natural cements that are connected to the earth, grass, sand, the ocean), sleeping on a grounding mat, listening to high vibration music, getting in the sun which I see as our battery recharger, go on an outdoor walk (and if you want to make your walk even more powerful, do this walking meditation. Always make sure you are grounding safely.

I sleep on a grounding mat every night...this is an awesome way to get more grounding time and to sleep deeper.  See my favorite grounding products here.

Let's talk about the lymph system & how important it is to keep it flowing. I did a video on my tiktok showing what I do every morning, see it here. Some of my favorite exercise things are on my Amazon store here.

The following are ways to keep your lymph system flowing & healthy... as always, make sure you are doing them safely...

~walking

~laughing

~vibration plate

~jumping or bouncing

~rebounding

~stretching 

~yoga

~deep breathing

~hydration & make sure you are getting minerals

~dry brushing (gentle circular brushing toward the heart)

~massage or lymphatic drainage

~healthy diet (anti-inflammatory, low-toxin, processed free foods)

~posture & making sure you move often

~sauna (always make sure you are getting electrolytes & minerals)

~cold therapy

Benefits are...

~stronger immune system...lymph carries white blood cells that detect & destroy viruses, bacteria, & abnormal cells...good flow ensures immune cells circulate efficiently & reach infection sites quickly

~more effective detoxification...your lymph system is your cellular drainage network-it removes waste, excess proteins, & toxins from tissues, when working properly allows your liver and kidneys to process waste more easily helping reduce oxidative stress and supports organ function

~reduced swelling & fluid retention

~better circulation & energy as it improves oxygen and nutrient delivery to cells & speeds waste removal-boosting energy, endurance, & recovery

~decreased inflammation...keeping it moving helps clear inflammatory byproducts & calm the immune response

~healthier skin promoting clearer, brighter skin, reducing acne, dullness, or puffiness...enhances nutrient delivery & cellular turnover in the skin's deeper layers

~clearer thinking & mood supporting mental clarity,  focus, & mood stability...the lymph system (especially the glymphatic system in your brain) clears metabolic waste from neural tissue during sleep

~faster recovery & healing...speeds up tissue repair & detox from lactic acid & inflammatory compounds

~improved sleep & relaxation...a flowing lymph system helps balance stress hormones & supports the body's nightly detox-which leads to deeper, more restorative sleep...deep sleep, according to me, is our super human power & when done correctly, helps our bodies effectively do what they are meant to do...detox, repair, strengthen immunity, balances hormones, stabilizes your memory

~long-term disease prevention...keeping lymph moving supports resilience & cellular health over the long term
