The Earth Prescription: Discover the Healing Power of Nature with Grounding Practices for Every Season

A life lived indoors is not a life lived. And yet many of us spend the majority of our days indoors, trapped in our own heads, addicted to our screens and online connections, and feeling more and more disconnected to our own bodies-and the planet-than ever before. Intuitively, we know that even a five-minute walk outdoors can calm us and awaken our senses, but we tell ourselves we don't have time, or we can't seem to make the time.

In The Earth Prescription, holistic physician Laura Koniver, MD, offers the ideal antidote to the toxicity of a life isolated from nature-grounding, or directly touching the earth to heal your body and rejuvenate your sense of total well-being. This simple activity connects you to the earth, allowing you to reap its restorative powers-which include reducing depression, lowering blood pressure, curbing stress, and increasing happiness.

With this practical and uplifting guide, you'll learn how to incorporate the practice of grounding anytime, anywhere, and find tips for including kids or your favorite pooch. This book will give you everything you need to enjoy the healing energy of nature-you simply have to get outside and get grounded.
