Wintertime Grounding – Remember Snow Angels?
Hi there, Nothing beats the crisp magic of a winter morning to reconnect with the earth—yes, even when there’s snow on the ground.
I’m Dr. Jill Crista, naturopathic doctor, mold expert and author of A Light in the Dark for PANDAS & PANS, and today I want to share how grounding—yes, snow angels included—can become a surprisingly powerful part of your mold recovery.
This practice is simple, effective, and available every day. Ready to feel better? Let’s begin.
Why Grounding Matters for Mold Recovery
I often say, “Get in physical contact with the earth every day, through all seasons.” And I mean it. Grounding plays a big role in healing, especially when mold is in the picture.
- Reconnect with Nature: I love to ground. I enjoy laying down in the snow, connecting directly with the earth’s energy.
- Supports Detox: Grounding lowers inflammation and oxidative stress, cornerstones of mold recovery and long-term wellness.
- Nourishes Mind and Body: Each time you ground, you reinforce your body’s ability to heal.
The Magic of Snow Angels in Your Routine
Did you know you can ground and have fun? It’s absolutely fabulous. Snow angels offer more than fun. They’re a beautiful way to connect in winter.
- Winter Grounding: Laying down in the snow connects you to the earth, even in winter, boosting mood and energy.
- Sensory Joy: I get to listen to the birds, see the sun come over the trees. It grounds your senses and clears your mind.
- A Simple Ritual: Five minutes of snow angels can restore balance and build healing resilience.
These grounding moments are part of the lifestyle guidance I share in A Light in the Dark for PANDAS & PANS.
How Grounding Boosts Your Health
No matter how you get outside—just do it. Grounding helps with:
- Reduces Inflammation: Physical contact with the earth lowers stress and inflammation, key for mold recovery.
- Enhances Detox: Grounding supports lymphatic flow and the body’s detox systems.
- Boosts Mood: Soak in the sun. It’s absolutely fabulous, lifting spirits and supporting mental health.
These benefits layer beautifully with the healing strategies in A Light in the Dark for PANDAS & PANS.
Tips for a Wintertime Grounding Routine
Get outside so you can conquer mold. Here’s how to ground even in the cold:
- Make Snow Angels: Lie in the snow for a few minutes daily to connect with the earth.
- Bundle Up: Dress warmly to enjoy winter grounding comfortably, even in cold climates.
- Engage Your Senses: Listen to the birds, connect with the sun to enhance the grounding experience.
Remember—mold recovery is holistic. Grounding is one of the most accessible and powerful tools you have.
