Before we dive further into exploring this eclipse, let’s discuss what an eclipse is and how it comes to be.
Nomophobia: The fear of being away from, or completely without your smartphone. Sound familiar?

Today, however, it isn’t uncommon to find grounding or earthing mats, mattresses, flip flops, sneakers, and even body bands that claim to equalize our bodies to the same energy as the earth.

The stable and firm standing person that you are is suddenly going to want to change your appearance into doing something original, something unique. You are usually so practical and grounded.
