Is grounding real?

[cistanche_enjoyer]

In the alternative health space there seems to be a lot of hype about grounding/earthing. The idea is that you can get health benefits (anti inflammatory, anti stress, better blood flow) from being in electrical contact with the Earth’s surface (e.g. bare feet on the grass, or using a grounding mat).

Have you ever tried it? Noticed any benefits?

At impro theatre I always play with socks because I feel more grounded. It makes a big difference to me.

I tried it, but I'm not doing it, because if there is any benefit then that's not noticable, and then it's not worth it. Just try to enjoy your life and time...

Walk barefoot for a few days on bare-earth and you'll see for yourself. I've been walking barefoot for 10 - 15 years, in fact the only time i wear anything is when i walk into a mall or gas station, those places are full of gunk, the ground is much cleaner. 

Think of it this way, you are like a tree (energetically) a moving tree, and the more you walk bare foot, the more you stay connected (to the earth) all the subtle energies that go in and out, uploads and downloads, the bigger you grow your roots, the more connected, strong, grounded, unshakable you become. Same thing with hair, allow it to grow, your antenna and your roots, you become a large tree like me one day

People often say I feel a great peace and grounding energy coming from you. Its a lot of undoing... but it pays off.

Then everything you offer to the world, will be rich, strong and potent, your fruits will be full of wisdom and brilliance.

Grounding isn't just about health, its about reunion with Nature, God, All that is.
