It’s a great question and one that I can answer based on personal experience.

Back in the summer of 2017, I experienced what many call a spiritual awakening.

It was amazing!

There are no words to describe the level of bliss, oneness, and unconditional love that I felt for everything.

I also received downloads of information that brought me to a deeper state of awareness about reality, our true identity, and, oddly enough, energy.

That brings me to the main point of this article–earthing.

When I was at the peak of my spiritual awakening, I could feel energy coursing through my body.

One of the biggest challenges I faced was sleep, especially on a full moon, because a full moon seemed to make my energy much less stable.

All of this was unfamiliar territory for me, but I was desperate, so I decided to talk to someone that I thought could help me.

Fortunately, I was right. The minute I told a friend about my problem with my energy, they immediately said oh, you’re not grounded.

Huh?

In short, they said you must go outside and get grounded (barefoot) on the Earth.

Really? Surely, it can’t be that simple.

However, I was so desperate at the time I was open to anything, including something that I thought was ridiculous.

But guess what? Amazingly, it worked!

My second experience with grounding was a bit different but no less profound.

My cousin was staying with me.

He often suffered from atrial fibrillation, aka AFib.

Well, we were hanging out one day, and I noticed he looked very, very uncomfortable.

I could see that something was wrong with him, so I asked if everything was OK?

He said AFib was coming on.

I told him to come outside and take off his shoes. I removed my shoes, and as we both stood facing one another barefoot on the Earth, I asked him to place the palm of his hands on the palm of my hands.

He looked at me within a few minutes or less and said it was gone.

We were both surprised but, at the time, didn’t give it much thought because, honestly, at that point, we had both experienced what many considered supernatural things.

I shared my story with some friends and family members, and honestly, I think they all thought I was nuts. Or at least that’s the way it felt to me.

Fast forward to 2022. Remembering my and my cousin’s experience, I decided to Google “Earthing Effects on Heart,” and this article turned up on the National Library of Medicine’s website.

“Grounding increases the surface charge on RBCs, reducing blood viscosity and clumping. Grounding appears to be one of the simplest and yet most profound interventions for helping reduce cardiovascular risk and cardiovascular events.”

Notice it says, “simplest and most profound interventions for helping reduce cardiovascular risk and cardiovascular events”?

Guess what?

AFib is a cardiovascular event; earthing or grounding eliminated the event within my cousin in minutes or less.

Now, had I not witnessed this myself, I would have probably blown it off as rubbish.

On another occasion, a family member contacted me and said they were experiencing terrible anxiety brought on by a night of heavy drinking.

Again, I was aware that alcohol wreaks havoc on a person’s energy centers, aka Chakras, and hence their electrical system.

I suggested that my family member do the same thing as my cousin did — go outside and get grounded!

They contacted me back within a very short time and said they felt much better.

Do I think earthing or grounding can fix every single issue within the human body?

Nope!

However, based on my personal experience and the experience of others I know, along with research, I do think it’s much more powerful than what most people are aware of, and I think it should be included in our lives, just like diet and exercise.

In fact, here’s a short video from Gaia featuring earthing expert Clint Ober.

Now, if you’re like me and work behind a desk, it’s not always convenient to go outside barefoot and ground yourself.

Especially if you work in a place that doesn’t have many if any, natural areas.

A grounding mat might be the perfect fit for you in such cases. I purchased my grounding mat through Amazon, and I’ve been very happy with it so far.
