When I discovered the power of grounding, it was revolutionary in my own journey of healing and elevation. I crossed paths with this information at exactly the right time. When this happened, in early 2022, I was clean and healthy and my main health problems had been long solved, but I was feeling at the end of my rope. I was feeling ragged, like I had run up against a a wall. Something was wrong, and I couldn’t figure out what.
It was around this time that I came across some information about PEMF mats. I was listening to some data from a group which is really out there on the cutting edge of full spectrum analysis and helpful information, and one of their representatives started pitching the concept of using these PEMF mats to create an electrical balance within the body. Within 20 minutes of laying on this mat, this gentleman was saying, all the cells in the body are returned to an alkaline state, with a balanced electrical charge rendered on the body. This could help to combat electronic interference that is barraging our bodies all day long from so many different sources, not to mention stress and emotional exhaustion.
This sounded very promising to me and I started to research more into this. What that individual was pitching was actually going into these clinics where they have these beds made from PEMF materials, which pulse out frequencies and wavelengths. Concerned about the inconvenience of this, I started looking at buying one of these units for myself, and began investigating beds or mats which ranged in cost from $800 to $7,000 and some even more. My gut feeling was telling me that I was missing something in this department — I needed to be charged up, like a cell phone on its last 10% of battery life.
At this point, it became apparent to me that a similar result of balance and healing, which was being facilitated through these electronic beds, could also be found simply by tapping into the electrical flow of Planet Earth herself. The earth actually constantly gives off a harmonious, healing frequency. In the world of physics — or electro-chemical-physics to be exact — when studied closely, the molecules of the earth’s surface exist in a state where they are constantly giving off a flow of free electrons. This abundant flow of extra electrons will transfer to an object that is conductive which makes contact with the earth, such as a human being who walks barefoot on grass or dirt which is connected to the earth. Stone or cement is generally less conductive and in many cases only semi-conductive or not conductive at all, depending on the material.
This is why power and cable lines are grounded, as well as the electrical setup in most civilized houses or apartment buildings — it’s connected to a copper rod which is shoved three feet into the earth’s surface. This creates a natural, balanced electrical buffer which will protect the electrical systems against shocks and stresses that natural happen. We too as living electrical beings need the same balance just as much if not more than our electrical technology does.
There are so many studied and proven benefits to connecting a human body with a grounded plane — a free-flowing source of electrons which puts the cells of the body into a self-healing state. Reduced inflammation and cortisol response (closely related to stress) are chief results, among so many other well-documented findings.
Outdoor grounding is a great way to plug into this powerful source. Definitely try it sometimes, and use it when you can.
Achieving this balance is as simple as going outside, taking your shoes off, and connecting barefoot to the Earth’s surface.
Although for some, this is not simple at all. After all, you have to contend with
— Inclement weather
— Bugs, mosquitos and pests
— Busy schedule which you can’t seem to get away from
— Home not located near any good grass because of an urban setting
— Outside environment is stressful
— Among other reasons
There are also other products you can use as a substitute, which are still shown to be effective when studied. This involves connecting an electrically active conduit (a mat, for example) to the same electrical lines which connect to the copper grounding rod outside of your home. This allows the conduit mat to remain grounded, just as the electrical setup in the home (if installed properly) is also grounded via the grounding rod. The conduit is attached to a product, either via carbon mats which are conductive, or via silver thread which is woven into sheet fabric which is also conductive.
The conduit is run like a wire, connecting with the conductive parts of the mat or sheet, and plugs into the grounded part of your electrical socket on your wall (the 3rd hole which is lower and in the center). This grounded part of the socket connects with the electrical wiring and ultimately connects with the copper grounding rod outside.
These products include
— Mats which can be placed on your desk to make contact with your hands or arms, or on the floor beneath your desk and connected with bare feet
— Fitted and cover sheets for your bed made from cotton with silver conductive threads
— Pillowcases
— Attachments which can be applied to a specific body part needing healing using tape or adhesive material
I personally use the sheets, as well as the pillowcases, and the mats on and below my desk. Although I try and practice old-fashioned Earthing outdoors as often as I can, I find this is much easier, more convenient, and provides more constant and consistent grounding benefits compared with how much time I can realistically put in outside to ground myself.
People ask me what benefits do I notice using the grounding products. First of all, I enjoy the way that it makes me feel on a physical and you might say sensual level. When I get under the covers in my bed, there is a pleasant tingling sensation that runs throughout my body and extremities. This continues on through the night. I get a positive sensation when in contact with the grounding pads at my desk as well and it tends to make me feel more relaxed and balanced during stressful times.
Since putting these practices into effect, after a night’s sleep I also have experienced a greater feeling of restfulness and energy upon waking. This to me is priceless and I can’t express enough the value this provides for me. One other thing I have noticed is not only increased energy but increased calm, focus and discernment. Throughout the day, with my main job, at least at the time of writing, I typically endure a great deal of pressure and oftentimes high emotional stakes. I have to navigate some very tense issues, negotiate quagmire situations, and solve complex problems with no easy solutions. This has at times been exhausting, draining, and has caused my focused energy to scatter.
Since discovering grounding, I have been more and more anchored to an energized yet calm and relaxed state, and have been able to do what I need to do and still maintain my focus and vision on the bigger picture.
A few people out there report after trying this that they simply didn’t notice any difference at all in how they felt after using the grounding products. For me personally, it is a noticeable but very subtle effect. The scientific studies are conclusive and you can read them for yourself. And so I also must consider the possibility that some people may not be sensitive to these changes that occur. So if you’re going to try it, really pay attention and observe your energetic and even electrical state of being. We are, after all, electrical beings.
If the timing is right and you can accept the risk that you may waste a modest amount of cash if it doesn’t work for you (unlikely but possible), check it out for yourself.
