Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
We need sunshine to get our vitamin D but, we don't need a lot of it at a time. I try to get at least 15 minutes of sun every day when the sun is directly overhead. Not only does it boost the vitamin D. I also look up at the sky in the direction of the sun, not directly at it in order to get the bright light into my eyes. This resets our inner clock, the circadian rhythm, that regulates sleep. I also have bare feet on the ground so it's a 3-fer. Getting these small amounts of sun daily slowly tans my skin without burning. I use no sunscreen.
Getting daily sunlight, and grounding is hugely important. I’ve been doing more of grounding lately. It seems to be helping a lot! Thanks for your post was very educational
No, just walking barefoot on the ground at least 10 minutes a day. Preferably grass or dirt. It could be on cement but I don’t think it’s as effective!
However, I just watched a video the other day about a gentleman who actually put wires into the ground, and then put them through his window into his bed, he would sleep with this type of grounding… And it began to heal different things in his body.
They started doing some research on this, and they were 60 other people who had reduced symptoms and illnesses because of it. Interesting stuff.
