Do you have any advice for staying in your body and staying present while feeling intense emotions from past trauma coming up? You can ground yourself just as well on dirt, large rocks, and gravel. Hi Scott, thank you for quick reply i have some old rocks that were used for building a wall when they done stonemason were i live il give them a try this week cheers, Andrew. You want to be on the ground itself. If the large stones are protruding from the Earth, great. If not, just stand on the ground itself.
Thank you for such a helpful article. I recently started working in a high rise on the 17th floor. Is there a difference between being on a second floor and a 17th floor? What do you recommend one to do during the day to keep grounded in a big city if there are other things in addition to the exercises you mentioned? The universal earthing mat I mentioned above is a great idea as you can use it for your feet barefoot while seated at your desk.
Or, you can place it on your desk and keep your palms on it as you type. This is a very new subject to me, but now it makes so much sense, grounding is very necessary in our lives. Rolling on grass always felt good , walking bare feet on a beach, it was all part of grounding. What an interesting article. Thank you for this information! I have 2 only- in the bathroom and basement -for washer and dryer.
I read on a Czech site about earthing that you can be grounded on a cement floor. The floor in my basement is cement, but too cold to ground on. It said to fill a metal container with warm tap water and put the feet in it, and you would still benefit from grounding. Is that true? If so, what sort of metal should the container be made from? With what, your hand, metal, or something made with cotton, like a t-shirt? Cement and concrete are great for grounding because they are made from conductive materials.
That sounds unnecessary to me. Grounding is best done outside, on the earth. The crown exercise describes how to do it. You place the center of one of your hands over your crown.
Theoretically, that might work but it seems unnecessary. The tree grounding works. Even before I knew what grounding was I would do the above and tell people to pick me up. I only wear shoes when I absolutely have to. However, I have an extreme sensitivity to cold. Here in the desert where it reaches whenever I get overheated all is needed is to step into the shade and within 5 minutes I will be shivering and have goose bumps. Anything below 70 requires a jacket and the instant something cold touches my skin I shiver violently.
Doctors will not give an explanation other then low blood pressure. Do you know why I am this sensitive to cold? Can it be fixed? Thank you for sharing you knowledge. It has been very helpful. For example, a deficiency in heat may relate to a weakness of the hear or a Yang deficiency in the kidneys.
I am really inspired to give it a try for all of my inflammation issues, mostly for my clinical depression. Many people do not know that depression is disease caused by inflammation in the body.
My question for you is rather simple. I live in the center of my busy little city. There are parks and plots of grass around me. But not a whole lot near my apartment. I went to go do a grounding session up the street on the edge of a condominium where there is landscaping. While practicing my mind started to wonder if I was even receiving the earths charge thru this landscaped area if it is earth on top of building materials.
Am I still receiving the benefits of earthing if I go sit on the earthly grounds of a complex, city hall, hospital , pretty much all urban green areas?
Also are the grounding outlets just a regular outlet anywhere in your office? The challenge with grounding in cities is that the amount of EMF is so substantial that it can be difficult to get the full benefits.
I definitely do not recommend grounding on landscaped grass. However, if you put grounding in a more meditative context, then one could say that the best time to ground is between 11 pm and 1 am. In Taoist energetics, this is considered the height of Yin when the mind tends to be the quietest. However, since acidic pH levels lead to inflammation and grounding helps reduce inflammation, it is possible that grounding may help reduce acidity and balance your pH.
It would be difficult to test this hypothesis though because there are many factors that might be difficult to control. Hi Scott, I have only just begun to ground myself with the Earth, meaning being in the present moment, barefoot on the grass standing up and visualising myself as tree, with roots growing underneath the soil through the rocks deeply embedded to the core of the Earth.
Its really important to ground yourself when meditating, as I have often found myself in the past, ascending higher, being a gamma state of consciousness but totally way up there, and being dizzy, a little disoriented disconnected from the earth, more in a transcendental state, I was way off balance. For me learning about grounding during meditation or just having the awareness of grounding in the now moment made me feel more balanced and earthed.
Which has increased my sensitivity to the earths energies, electric pulses vibrations that emanate from the crystalline grid of Earth energies, its also made me more sensitive to nature, animals, constructive insects, and seeing the auric field of the plant and tree and flowers, being totally connected with Earth and her heartbeat. This is my experience of fusing and grounding my energies with the energies of Earth.
Do I start off for just a few minutes and than gradually add more time? I use another one beneath my feet. No, Claudia. Thank You for this wonderful article! Questions: 1 How can one ground oneself during the winter?
In the winter, you can ground yourself using an Earthing Universal Mat linked above or you can build your own. You can also purchase some sheets of copper or a roll of copper mesh and stand on that to ground you. Ultimately, you still want to try to avoid or reduce harmful EMF as much as possible.
And learn how to sink your energy down into your body — regardless of the season or weather. Thanks for your fantastic advice! I went to the river today — could FEEL the vibrations barefoot! In response to your advice: 1 How can I build my own? A grounding cord looks like a regular plug, but only the ground is active. The plug connects a grounding wire to an alligator clip and you simply clip the copper mesh board so it makes contact. There are numerous health benefits for not having our feet constricted.
Hi Maybe Scott will comment too. I think you can ground yourself via trees. As a beginner I think a damp trunk works well. Put both hands on the trunk and see if you feel a very slight sense of pins and needles in your feet and perhaps arms as the energy moves.
Try it and see if it works. Your doctor is correct. And avoid this practice with hardwoods in the winter as they can actually draw energy from you. Thoroughly excellent article. I sit barefoot in the garden when the weather permits and created an aluminium covered sheet of cardboard connected to earth to rest my fete on when watching TV. If an outside area has a lot of gravel if I place a redwood board down on it and then stand on the board will I be grounded?
Stand directly on the gravel. Hi I did build myself a grounding connection using a copper plate to place my feet on , an aluminium wire and a galvanize grounding metal plate buried in the ground , but when I use I feel a metal taste in my mouth , is it ok or is it dangerous? Are you standing on it outside or inside?
As will touching plants and trees. Lastly, my house is built on a concrete slab. I work from our family room under which is the concrete slab. The floor covering is Congoleum which is primarily vinyl with some felt and fiberglass. Hi, I have a question. I bought a grounding sheet and have and pillow case. At first I felt nothing, then I began to have good sleeps were I found I dreamt a lot and was also really different for me!
However, I also found I got dizzy way more easily. So I took the sheet and pillow case away and the dizziness stopped. I am now sleeping only on the sheet, but the dizziness is back. I just want to make sure I am not doing myself damage. Thank you in advance! Can I ground myself through a layer of cardboard?
Thank you for all your efforts Scott. I did sit there for a while with my bare feet flat on the ground. It actually brought relief! Plus I love being in nature, so more healing there. Thank you again! I really want to thank the author for such a nice blog that helped me to understand how to make life comfortable. Do you know a good source for how to ground your home? We are building a health and wellbeing centre in am old building and want to bring the ground in. Can you please advise… it was literally the only thing your wonderful article missed!
But I would say that poured concrete works great for the ground level of any home. Thank you for your great article. I could not find an answer to a question I have. Can you tell me if someone who is a professional fisherman that spends most of their day in a boat out in the ocean would be getting grounded.
His hands are usually gloved and he wears protective clothing for most of the day. Perth, Western Australia. However, they are getting negative ions from the ocean that can also have many beneficial effects including being anti-inflammatory.
Hi Scott, If you were to pick one indoor earthing product to buy, which one wold it be? Also, how effective would it be compared to earthing outside on the grass? I have limited opportunities to be outside so I need to know if in indoore product would work just as well. It really depends on your lifestyle.
If you spend a lot of time in front of a computer, a grounding product that relates to this like the universal grounding mat might be a good choice. As I stated above, I can definitely feel the effects of earthing outside. Scott — your stuff is amazing! I love it! And as with Self Actualization I would love to use some of it in our training.
