The hippies were right all along! Grounding yourself with the Earth, will actually decrease inflammation in the body. Scientific research now confirms this and since we're now also discussing healthy living on this board, I thought I'd let you guys know. This actually seems like a really big missing piece of our health puzzle.
What it comes down to is that your cells are batteries and if you don't ground yourself this will result in a constant 2v charge in your body. This results in inflammation in the body which is a root cause of many problems in the body.
This is an hour long documentary on the subject. If you want to skip to the science part, go to the 26:55 mark.

There are several websites where you find products that help you to ground yourself during the day or while sleeping.
Yes!!!! I do this often. My family thinks I’m crazy. Going to let them watch this!!!
Humans were designed to live outdoors amongst nature. We technically aren’t designed to wear clothes either, but the world is too fallen to really go back to our roots. Grounding and getting a good amount of sun help our bodies self heal as well.
Yes, by using rubber soles we have disconnected ourselves from the Earth.
How aren't we designed to wear clothes?? We have no fur in the cold. White people get sunburns. Bugs annihilate us.
We’ve adapted over time (obviously) but Gods original design had us living nude amongst everything else in nature. That’s why we have pubic hair, to protect delicate areas, and the ability to adapt to areas because of the melanin in our skin. We’re talking thousands of years since that original implementation and the first humans had all the information written into their DNA to allow us to function as we do now.
Ok, I'm grounded. I have arthritis in both hands and a bad back. Let's see what happens.
Curious to hear what effect it will have on you. Are you grounding yourself for a prolonged period?
Working with what I have. A sheet of aluminum foil inside my shirt on my back connected to an outlet ground with a test lead. I'll give it as long as I can while I work.
I spent about an hour and a half hooked to ground. I can't say I feel any different. I'll keep trying and getting outside barefoot.
I think it's supposed to be more of a longer term thing for most people. The experience of the man in the documentary, where he feels like a different person after one night of grounding, is quite rare.
You can use tape with metal fiber in it on your mattress or you can buy sheets with wire in it to ground yourself while sleeping :)
Sooooo, if I go stand in the grass or anywhere outside on a non man-made surface barefoot I’m grounded?
Yes you are. Soil and rock will ground you, but standing on wood is not the best way to ground yourself.
nice! actually have a pad in my office that you plug into the bottom of an outlet that i put my bare feet
Piezoelectric matter (quartz, topaz, even bone, cane sugar + rochelle salt) is brilliant if you can find it. The ancients used to mix their own concrete with all the particulate matter bound up inside eg the pyramids (some older ones are not hewn from rock, but mixed and cast). This gave better connectivity to the earth and its healing hum (7.83hz) and improved life, longevity and health (some other slightly more dubious functions if ingested). We mistake ourselves for more advanced, but we've lost the way..
So my cats and dogs - in fact all animals except ones wearing shoes - are grounded.
When outside they are.
Nice- glad to meet a fellow grounder. I found it through here, some handy bits included. All the sayings we have about keeping your feet on the ground, staying grounded etc all have an origin. All the ancient cultures knew it... Works wonders for me, thinking of earthed bed + silver threaded sheets too...

Yes, after watching the documentary I thought to myself "this makes so much sense!"
Much more too it too. Imagining we are pretty much made of water, then look at the other forces that govern us. Mother nature can move oceans, yet we imagine she cannot affect us directly.
Have a look into the Schumann Resonance.

This is the only site which gives a continuous update (Russia site), all others have been disabled I think, something freaky was happening with the underground explosions I think.

Yeah this is probably more important than most of us realize as well.
Gonna try it. Have lots of pain sciatica, circulatory problem s in my legs. Both are very easy to verify if they get better. Will keep everyone posted.
Yes, I'm curious to hear about your experience.
I'm grabbing some 8 AWG and a copper ground spike and hooking that bad boy to my ankle at night.
Need to plug my grounding sheet back in!
and if Lightning strikes near by while you are grounded??? just curious..
The products sold for grounding by specialized companies keep this in mind. They have a certain resistance which prevents issues when lightning strikes.
Weird.
