THE HEALING WONDERS OF EARTHING AND HOW IT HAS HELPED ME WITH MY PERIMENOPAUSAL SYMPTOMS (PART 1)

EARTHING: THE UNBEATABLE, NATURAL SLEEP AID FOR WOMEN IN PERIMENOPAUSE (PART 2)


There's something genuinely magical about connecting with the Earth. The feeling of warm beach sand beneath my toes, the soothing sound of waves crashing against the shore, or even that simple act of walking barefoot on grass can bring me an inexplicable sense of calm and serenity. I don’t know about you, it comes with age probably, but this is how I feel.


But did you know that this connection with the Earth, also known as earthing or grounding, has scientifically proven healing wonders? As someone who has personally experienced the transformative effects of earthing, I can attest to its remarkable benefits.


Like many other women who are transitioning into menopause, I experienced a plethora of symptoms. Thought I’d ticked all the small boxes in the symptoms department. Sometimes, I’m too short for words to describe it as they’re alien sensations to me – like internal vibration, dizziness like I’m about to pass out, and generally feeling out of my body. It often left me feeling stressed, anxious, and disconnected. 


So my quest for healing brought me to try various non-conventional ways. I veered away from Hormone Replace Therapy as I thought this is just a phase and I don’t want exogenous stuff being put into my body. ‘This too shall pass’ is a mantra I adhered to. But you know, this is just me. If you feel like you really need one, feel free to talk to your doctor.

Earthing: Natural Sleep Aid for Women in Perimenopause



As women approach midlife, they experience a plethora of physical and hormonal changes. One of the most significant changes is the onset of perimenopause, which can disrupt their sleep patterns and leave them feeling fatigued and restless. But amidst the myriad of remedies available, there is one natural and powerful solution that stands out: earthing.

Earthing, also known as grounding, is the practice of connecting with the earth's surface by walking barefoot on grass, sand, or soil, or using grounding devices such as grounding mats or sheets while sleeping. This simple yet profound practice has been found to have a multitude of benefits, especially for women in perimenopause who struggle with sleep issues.

As a woman in my 50s who has been navigating the rollercoaster ride of perimenopause, I can personally attest to the transformative effects of earthing on my sleep quality. Like many women in this phase of life, I was plagued with night sweats, which leads to dizziness at times, and racing thoughts that often robbed me of a good night's sleep. Through relentless research on what can help me naturally, I discovered the incredible benefits of earthing, and it has been a game-changer.

Trip to Angel Hills Coffee Farm and Tres Andanas Falls in Keytodac, Lebak, Sultan Kudarat

On Holy Week in the Philippines, my husband and I decided to visit our coffee farm in Sultan Kudarat. It’s my parents who looked after it and manage some farm whatnots since we’re based in Davao City. So we drove from Davao City to Lebak, Sultan Kudarat for 7 hours. The good thing is that the long and winding road is fully concrete and the drive was just a breeze.

Our coffee farm is located in Keytodac, Lebak, Sultan Kudarat. It’s still an hour's drive on a rocky road from the barrio of Basak. It’s a good decision we bought a Navara. A reliable vehicle for this kind of terrain. But halfway while on the rough road we already thought of upgrading it to 4x4 the next time we’re heading up there as the road is not cemented yet. But that remains to be seen, hehehe.

The five benefits of journaling for women

The five benefits of journaling for women

Journaling is a powerful tool for healing, growth, and self-discovery. Writing down our thoughts, emotions, and experiences can help us process them and gain insight into our inner world. For me, journaling has been a lifeline during some of the most difficult times in my life.


As I wrote, I felt a sense of release. It was like I was taking all of the messy, tangled emotions inside of me and putting them into words. I could see them on the page, and they didn't seem quite so overwhelming anymore. I started to gain clarity and insight into my situation. I could see patterns and themes emerging, and I started to understand myself better.


Over time, my journal became a source of comfort and support. I could write down my hopes and dreams, my fears and anxieties, and everything in between. I didn't have to worry about being judged or misunderstood. My journal was a safe space where I could be completely honest with myself.
