My husband and I are staying in Penang, Malaysia, now. My friend invited us to go earthing. Earthing is a health method where people take off their shoes and socks so that they can connect with the Earth directly. We are close to the beach, so we can walk there in a short time. I was able to connect with the Earth through the soles of my feet on the sand and in the seawater. It helped relax both my mind and my body. On Mother’s Day, we had a church service at the beach, and after the service, we all went earthing. We also picked up garbage on the beach. Earthing and beach cleaning are different, but we usually do both together. It can get very hot after the sun rises, so I recommend earthing in the morning.   (139 words)
