Introduction: Today I would like to tell you about "Earthing", a method of body experience that, among other things, enables the (re-)attainment of primal trust. The human being is an electric being living on an electric planet. We are not only supplied with energy by the earth, but also protected from electromagnetic voltages, which in turn can cause illness. Therefore, it is enormously important for our health to (re-)establish a direct physical connection to the earth. Definition: Physical experience that enables the human being to (re)establish a direct physical connection to the earth. Background: The earth is an energy field and generates vibrations. It has a magnetic field and a storage for electrical energy. The earth's surface (which is already negatively charged) is constantly recharged by the effects of nature. This creates a surplus of electrons, which balances out the positive charge from the ionosphere (= part of the atmosphere that contains large quantities of ions and free electrons). In short: the earth is surrounded by a wave of energy that is constantly in motion. It can be assumed that all life on earth is connected to the rhythm of these electrical pulses. Method: It is always a matter of enabling the body to have direct contact with the earth, especially the soil, but also plants and animals, as well as the elements of earth and water in general. Walking barefoot in the forest, touching the ground with bare skin, stroking four-legged animals, hugging a tree or moving in the water are concrete examples of the possibilities of human connection with the earthly earth field. Feelings such as refreshment, peace, serenity, lightness can be experienced and are a gift to the soul
Purpose:
To maintain his health, man needs direct body contact with the ground. This relieves tension and protects the electrically balanced environment of the human body from external electric and magnetic fields.
Medical benefits:
- Relief of inflammation
- Elimination of chronic pain
- Improvement of sleep
- Enhancement of strength and energy
- Reduction of stress (reduction of sympathetic activity in favour of the parasympathetic nervous system)
- Relieving tension and headaches
- Improvement of blood pressure and blood flow
- Acceleration of healing processes
- Reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease
- Strengthening the immune system
Causes of earth disturbance: - Living with materials that do not conduct electricity (e.g. clothing made of synthetic fibres, shoes with plastic or rubber soles, beds made of wood, floor coverings made of PVC or plastic)
- Living and working at "ground level" (high-rise buildings)
- Environment "fully charged" with electromagnetic radiation (mobile phones, laptops, tablets, WiFi, Bluetooth,...)
Conclusion:
Quote from Stephen Sinatra, a well-known cardiologist in the USA:
"I consider grounding to be the greatest health breakthrough in all my years of medical practice (...) No pill on earth can do what `Mother Earth' does for us."
