Grounding/Earthing
Grounding is the process of connecting your body with the Earth’s natural energy. This can be achieved by walking barefoot on grass, sand, or soil, or by lying on the ground. Earthing, which also involves connecting the body to the Earth, often utilizes grounding systems like mats and bands that are electrically connected to the ground. The terms are often used interchangeably.
The theory behind grounding/earthing is that the Earth’s negative charge can help neutralize the positive charge created by things like electronic devices. Modern living, with all its synthetic environments and constant use of electronic devices, can lead to a buildup of positive charges in our bodies. The Earth naturally has a negative charge, so grounding allows for the transfer of these electrons, potentially neutralizing those excess charges. Grounding is basically nature’s way of balancing our modern, tech-heavy lifestyles. The fundamental idea is that this practice helps bring your body’s electrical charge into equilibrium.
Think of it as a natural, almost primal, way to reconnect with the very source of life itself.

Clint Ober
Clint Ober, a former cable television industry professional, discovered the concept of grounding the human body in the late 1990s. He explored how connecting the body to the Earth’s natural energy could improve health. His findings and experiences are detailed in The Earthing Movie and his book Earthing.
Over the last two decades, Ober’s work has inspired numerous research studies and the development of various grounding products to help people reconnect with the Earth’s energy. Mr. Ober has developed “Earthing” products that provide you with the ability to ground yourself while indoors – even while sleeping.
Disclosure
Paul and I only use products developed and offered by Mr. Ober. In a market flooded with imitations, we chose to invest in our health by buying from the “pioneer” who has conducted thorough research and possesses extensive knowledge in the field, along with holding the original patents for the technology.
We have greatly benefitted from the products purchased. Our favorite is the mattress cover – we are grounding all night long! The results have been very impressive. So much so, that I am now an Affiliate member and have included the use of grounding systems in my educational wellness events. At 83 and 71 years of age, our top priority is to maintain a great quality of life.
