We were fortunate to live near the water. Transport by car was about five minutes. A good walk down a fairly steep hill got me there in about ten to fifteen minutes. Josiah’s Bay beach in the British Virgin Islands used to be deeper but sand mining in the eighties pushed the coastline back. Natural cycles replaced some of the sand but the beach was not what it used to be. Its value has increased recently, at least to me.
Clint Ober was a guest on Darius Barazendaneh’s online You Wealth Revolution. He discussed how his years of working as a cable engineer informed him about grounding. Clint Ober is the maker of the Earthing line of products. Mats for your feet or for your entire body are either plugged into the third opening on an electrical outlet or are connected to a grounding rod outside of your home to remove free radicals from within the body.
We used to walk along the beach and in the surf. The sun heated our bodies. The sand burned our feet. We would sit in the surf at the shore and let the waves slap us and wash over our bodies. After a time, we would walk through our gate, dry ourselves off getting as much sand off as possible, and walk to the car to drive back to our home.
We showered when we returned. I hung our rinsed bathing suits on the line outside for the wind to remove the very fine sand. Then we turned on the television or music and fell asleep. That was how we used the day. As work grew, I wanted to go to the beach less and less. I felt I could not afford to contribute that much time to “doing nothing.” I did not know it at the time but the tiredness was directly related to the amount of tension I held within. There was nothing else my body could do but completely relax after I released the tension. The Wise Me shunned this activity because of my perspective on how much time it took to recover from being completely relaxed, not from how much time it took to recover from being tense and wound up.
I learned, after reading and using Mr. Ober’s products that I could have done more for my body by going to the beach regularly and being slapped around more by the waves. Nature removes the free radicals that way, what I created during my tense, thinking/doing/creating periods. Another company now has patches available to draw toxins through the soles of your feet. Walking in sand, on grass, or on soil achieves the same thing.
If you are so tired that you cannot move or even entertain the thought, think of what you did to get that way. I did not. Now we are many miles from that beach. I don’t think I would have changed my feelings about relaxing completely but what I would change is how I got to that point. Periodic relaxations through breaks would reduce the amount of recovery time. For several of those years and now, I was and am a caregiver. Nothing says relax more than doing for two persons. Memories of those times spent on the beach with my beloved and sitting together with my feet on the grass do contribute to my well-being. However, I must be aware of how often I need to use the time to do little or even nothing.

Health Coach Services
A holistic health practitioner (or health counselor) is a wellness guide and supportive mentor. Together, we’ll work to achieve your goals in areas such as achieving optimal weight, food cravings, sleep, and energy. Through working with me, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the foods and lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance, and health.
I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that we look at how all areas of your life are connected and affected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.
I lead workshops on nutrition and offer individual and group health and nutrition counseling. I realized a dream to study at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition and it changed my life. Let me support you to change yours.
