That’s really interesting stuff you shared. It reminds me how yogis would sit on dried grass mats and not directly on earth when meditating.I've been experimenting with grounding for the last 2 months. Barefoot on the grass at least 1 hr every day, as well as plenty of sunshine 2 hrs on average.
However, if I try to sleep grounded through the wall outlet (either with heavy litz copper wire on wrist or ankle, or metal mesh under legs) after about 20-30 minutes I start getting mild palpitations and disturbed breathing reflexes, a general feeling of depleted energy, which quickly goes away if I unground myself.
The ground wire may not be completely free of currents, but I don't believe that's the reason of the side effects I experience.
I believe it disturbs the bioelectric potentials and currents produced by biological processes.
Grounding yourself through the wall outlet is not the same as walking barefoot on the grass. The grounding wire is normally connected to a copper rod deep into the ground.
Grounding through your soles may be different than grounding through a skin patch or wrist band, and the exchange of electrons may happen at a different pace.
I don't believe it's natural to sleep grounded.
Most animals sleep in nests made of dry leaves, wood etc which are poor conductors.
Also most mammals have fur or wool which are also poor conductors.
If you check the wound healing study it says "Treatment consisted of a daily 30-minute grounding session with an electrode patch while patient was seated comfortably", it wasn't overnight.
Even if the ground wire was "dirty", it might still have a beneficial effect - plenty of studies about electrical stimulation to accelerate wound healing.
However, I have found that grounding for ~5 minutes is beneficial.
We are exposed to electric fields everywhere, and they induce intracorporal currents.
Every wire in your wall has an electric field that extends way beyond the wall into the room, and your body acts like an antenna. The electric field is there even if no appliance is running. Turning off electricity from the breaker panel at night, at least for the bedroom, is a good idea.
I've experimented with high power close-distance incandescent light and it took me a while to realize that a lot of the effects and side-effects were from the powerful electric fields. With a 20-minute session I would feel energized and euphoric, but when I did 60 minute sessions I was getting heart rhythm disturbance.
It is more important to neutralize any electric and magnetic fields in the area where you spend most time, and especially in your sleeping area, rather than sleeping grounded. If you ground yourself in an area with electric fields your body will act like an antenna.
The type of fabric that you wear and that you sleep on is extremely important.
It has a very profound effect on the bioelectric fields in the body.
If anyone experimented with high-end audio you will know that the dielectric of a cable (the jacket or the insulator material) will sound different whether it's PVC, PTFE, cotton, silk, paper etc. In the same way the fabric that touches the body influences the bioelectric fields. This is common knowledge among acupuncturists.
So how does the electromagnetic exchange happen exactly when we ground? Are we getting negative electrons like it’s promoted? Or are we getting electrons leached from the body?
I would assume this is different for plants and water correct? Is there a reason they have different effects from always being grounded?
