Grounding, Earthing & Time Outdoors

At Kalamalka Glow, we value direct contact with the natural world, including walking barefoot on safe natural surfaces. Grounding, or earthing, offers an invitation to pause and notice the earth beneath our feet—a few unhurried moments beside the lake or in a garden, present in the setting.

Grounding research has examined sleep using earthing mats, including a 2025 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study comparing grounding and non-grounding mats. That mat-based format is distinct from barefoot contact outdoors; it offers one research perspective alongside the sensory practice we value.

Grounding belongs within generous time outdoors—daylight, fresh air, movement and a change of attention—with protection suited to the conditions and your skin.

Looking ahead, we’re planning a crystal grounding pit at Kalamalka Glow—a dedicated space to pause, connect with the earth, and enjoy our lakeside setting. The crystals are part of this future vision for a welcoming outdoor space, not a therapeutic claim. Until then, a safe outdoor pause can carry the same intention of slowing down.
