This was an excellent interview about grounding with Dr. Laura Koniver:
A few highlights:
- Dr. Koniver found about grounding when she had a baby, who was colic (the pediatrician would have prescribed the 2 week old baby drugs, or the other option would have been to place the baby in a different room and let her cry. Neither choice sounded good to her). At the time, she was living in Arizona, and went barefoot in the backyard while holding the crying baby. Unexpectedly, the baby stopped crying, and as it happened repeatedly, the doc figured out that it must be from standing on the grass barefoot, grounded.
- If a hundred people are in a chain, holding hands, and only one of them is grounded, the other 99 are too.
- Grounding in urban environments can be potentially troublesome, but here she gives good advice on how to negotiate the problems.
- Water that is used in houses and apartments is grounded, so having a shower/ catching a faucet with bare hands, will get you grounded too.
- Dr. Koniver herself lives in an urban environment, but has been going to a cabin once a month for two days to counter the city living. Being out in the nature for a couple of days is restorative, as there aren’t excess EMFs and electricity around, and you can get plentiful grounding. Those few days give her the fortitude to better weather the "urban assault" for the next weeks.
- You could get grounding from trees, but if they have a thicker bark, it doesn’t work well. Surer bet is grabbing some leaves (plants, trees, etc.).
- If there is moisture between the skin and grounded surface, the grounding connection is better.
- Even a few seconds of touching grounded surface (more is better of course), will restore the "link": the blood pressure starts to level, inflammation starts to decrease, etc.
- The grid uses AC electricity, but the body runs in DC electricity. This amplifies a ”mismatch” when you are near electric wires (and devices) while inside. It would good to keep at least a few feet’s distance from the wires, and every now and then get grounded to even things out. (Using
dirty electricity filters would probably be worthwhile.)
- It is important to go outside (or peek from an open window) once in a while when the sun is up. This way you get ”information” from the sun to ”locate” yourself, i.e. what time of the day it is/ what season is ongoing, and keep the bodily systems/ hormones running smoothly. Evidently, if you spend all your time indoors, you miss these signals, and it will eventually negatively catch up on you.
Being connected to the earth, receiving electrons and other energies from it, seems to be equally as important as keeping tabs on the sun.
There was a study put up, where people were ”disconnected” completely: no natural light, no grounding, no
Schumann resonance, and so on. The study had to be stopped, as after only a couple of hours, the subjects’ organ systems were starting to fail.
I remember, when I once tried to sleep in an EMF blocking bed canopy (it’s placed over a bed, and material is also set underneath the mattress). I made several attempts, but every time I woke up about 2 am having a feeling of strange ”pressure”, and had to remove the canopy. (It wasn't a case of total disconnection as in the study, but still.) When it later occurred to me, to remove the material from under the mattress and leave the canopy on, it was more tolerable, but still something was ”off”.
The exclusion from outside energies must explain the issue some people have, when they have painted a room (ceiling, every wall and the floor) with EMF blocking paint, only to find out that they can’t spend much time inside the room, as they gradually start to feel unwell. (I guess some people are more sensitive to these things than others.)
- The astronauts who stood on the moon, have said that there was this strong longing to get back to earth, and get ”grounded” again. (Btw, they seem to have used Schumann resonance
generators in the spacecrafts.)
