What does it mean to be grounded? No reference to raising teen-agers, rather the premise rests in the electromagnetic nature of the human body. The Little Grounding Book is a subtle energy manual exploring energetic concepts, with exercises and meditations to aid the reader in feeling more connected to his/her physical body and to the Earth. This simple book provides tools for people of all ages who wish to be more focused. Being grounded is a first step in healing many physical and emotional conditions and to creating a life of abundance. This is an excellent resource for individuals with ADD.
Judith was born in Boston in 1943. Her academic career was interrupted first by illness, then by marriage and the birth of her daughter, now teaching in Alaska. Judith's work history began with a job as a research histology technician in a local Boston hospital. That too was interrupted by health issues. She was then sent by a temporary agency to a consulting company for a 3 day temporary typing assignment. She ended up working there for 17 years, involved in field work, writing, research design, and data base management. Once again, this job was interrupted by illness: this time an autoimmune disease, the onset of which was stress related. Eventual termination from that job created the opportunity to return to school. After graduating from Lesley in '88 with a degree in the psychology of health and illness, Judith got involved in the state rehabilitation agency, appointed to a number of advisory boards, involved in research, and working on a strategic revisioning panel for state vocational rehabilitation. At that time she began teaching a class: "Exploring Ways to Feel Better" sharing the variety of things she had learned on her own healing journey.
Each of Judith's books documents a stage that she needed to master as her healing progressed and deepened. Now, as the nation debates "health care reform" Judith is impassioned to help others learn how to improve their health and well-being. She doesn't feel that the current debate is even touching on this issue, and is more about insurance regulation. Much of the understanding that she elucidates in her books was once common knowledge. Judith envisions a time when the practices she describes will be practiced in communities across the country: school children; people living in assisted living facilities; office workers; academicians; blue collar workers; service industry personnel; fathers and mothers; children and adults will all know more about how to care for themselves so that scarce medical resources can be reserved for true medical emergencies. Then the costs - not just the financial costs - will be reduced, and great benefits will accrue not only to individuals but also to the nation!
