ep6. The Smartest Exercise to Practice Alone

Today I will be discussing a topic that I found very interesting, and I hope you do to, It is something I have started doing and I definitely feel the positive effects. Today I am discussing grounding at first, this may sound a little woo-woo. But the science behind earthing and grounding is compelling: The earth is abundant in free electrons (negatively charged) that when connected to the body can help neutralize free radicals, providing antioxidant and immune-boosting properties

Grounding also called earthing, is a therapeutic technique that involves doing activities that “ground” or electrically reconnect you to the earth for various health benefits.
We walked barefoot and we slept in contact with the Earth never realizing that its surface contained limitless, natural, healing energy. Walking around barefoot is not our main mode of travel any longer. We live indoors much of the time and when we do walk or run outside, we wear rubber-soled shoes which prevent our feet from being able to absorb the Earth's subtle energy. Rubber is not conductive, but our bodies are!

こんにちは、みほです。みなさん、いかがお過(す)ごしでしょうか。私のポッドキャスト「Mihongo Nihongo」へようこそ。このポッドキャストでは、私が短いエピソードを話します。内容(ないよう)についての質問をいくつか用意(ようい)していますので、音声(おんせい)を聞きながら質問の答えを考えてくださいね。

今日のエピソードは「ひとりごと」です。みなさんはひとりごと、言いますか？私はつい一人でしゃべってしまいます。では、エピソードの前に質問です。今日の質問は３つです。

①私はいつひとりごとを言いますか。
②私はどんなひとりごとを無意識(むいしき)に言ってしまいますか。
③私はどうして英語でひとりごとを言いますか。

みなさん、準備(じゅんび)はいいですか。じゃあ始めましょう。

私は家に一人でいるとき、よくひとりごとを言います。例えば、「ああこれおいしい〜」とか、「ヤバい！ちょっと体重(たいじゅう)増(ふ)えてる！」とか、そのとき思ったことを無意識に声(こえ)に出してしまいます。
でも、実は意識的(いしきてき)にしているひとりごともあります。それは、思ったことを英語で言うことです。私はずっと英語を勉強していますが、スピーキングが上手(うま)くありません。だから英語で話す練習をひとりごとでしています。日本語だと思ったことを言うのは簡単(かんたん)ですが、英語だとすごく難(むずか)しいです。いつか無意識に出るひとりごとも、英語になったらいいなと思います。


はい、じゃあもう一度質問を確認(かくにん)しましょう。
①私はいつひとりごとを言いますか。
②私はどんなひとりごとを無意識(むいしき)に言ってしまいますか。
③私はどうして英語でひとりごとを言いますか。


答えです。
①家に一人でいるときにひとりごとを言います。
②「ああこれおいしい」などそのとき思ったことを言ってしまいます。
③英語で話す練習をするために、英語でひとりごとを言います。

みなさんどうでしたか？答えられましたか？
それでは今日のポッドキャストはここまで。最後(さいご)まで聞いてくれてありがとうございました。また次回のポッドキャストでお会いしましょう！
またね〜！
