Grounding, Earthing and The Benefits of Touching the Earth. The Right Way To Ground 2023
2023 Update
A Natural Barefoot Grounding walk is a basic digital well-being strategy to connect to the earth and disconnect from technology.
Gounding 101
Grounding by walking on the beach each day is my medicine!
Walking around all day in rubber shoes and being layers away from the ground, be it through un-natural flooring or distance is though to significantly interfere with our energeic connection to the Earth and deplete our natural electrons.
The Study of Health and Earthing or Grounding
Supposedly, electrons drawn into the body from the earth neutralize damaging free radicals and by extension reduce disease-related chronic or acute inflammation.
Earthing, also known as grounding, focuses on the belief that contact with the Earth’s electric energy --even through the use of wired or electrical connectors can generate significant physiological changes in the body. In one study covered in the Earthing book, participants slept on a special mat that had a connection to a grounding device outside the house. When compared to the ungrounded participants in the same study, the grounded ones showed significant changes in key biomarkers including serum sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, total protein and others.
There have been studies linking Grounding to the reduction of inflammation and pain, perceptible changes in the autonomic nervous system from the sympathetic fight or flight response to the more relaxed para-sympathetic response.
Natural Grounding vs Grounding Pads and Beds.
Be aware that there’s a pretty big commercial aspect to this electric type of earthing. There are many websites that sell a range of equipment, including earthing beds and chairs that can get pretty pricey. Which is just one more reason love the idea of natural grounding.
A Building Biologist And An EMF Expert on The Correct Way To Use Grounding Mats Safely
Oram Miller, a noted Building Biologists and friend from our awesome EMF Consultants list says this about grounding pads,
"We recommend that you ground these pads into the earth rather than into the ground of your electrical outlet when possible. We also recommend that you reduce the electric fields in your bedroom first by having a Building Biology evaluation of your home."
And Jeromy Johnson, from EMFAnalysis shows you below in this YouTube Video How To Tell If There is EMI or electromagnetic interference or dirty electricity coming from your electrical wiring.

Many people wonder if the grounding products are actually "connecting" to the earth at all-there are Continuity testers that can be used for that.

Wireless EMF and Dirty Electricity and Grounding
We're all about avoiding all types of wireless RF radiation and the Director of the Earthing Institute also recommends prudent avoidance of EMF radiation from all wireless devices and microwaves, but adds that grounding can help you repair by giving energy to the mitochondria and he believes that grounding mats can prevent the effects lower frequencies like those from magnetic energy and dirty electricity.
Finally, please remember that even groundings strongest proponents acknowledge there's a limit to the "magic" of grounding. It's not a cure-all.
Think of a grounding as part of a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
I know what I'm going to do now . . . I hope you'll join me in spirit as I go outside and ground naturally with a healthy barefoot walk.
Be Well!
