With Kate Magic in her Magic Bubble

I am very honoured to be the only person to be interviewed three times for Kate Magic's Magic Bubble. And in fact it took three attempts for the technicalities to work out for this third interview..which has never happened before for her either...anyway third time lucky 

smile emoticon

 We talk about quality nutrition and lifestyle to get the optimum from human potential, nutrition and brain chemistry, living blissfully, plant communication and grounding, celestial astrology, plant medicines (particularly iboga), and upcoming Edenic States retreats in Mexico.

grounding - an independent documentary

“I was now connected to the earth almost 24 /7  The remarkable way I was being affected made me ponder that most people in modern societies are almost never in direct contact with the Earth’s surface. No wonder people walk around fat sick and nearly dead”  With a host of distinguished experts and beautiful footage of ancient sites. A truly inspiring movie.

The essential missing  connection in our lives today. This situation is so easily remedied. Click here for grounding sheets, mats and plush pads,

earthing - a missing link to health and sanity

Earthing, sometimes known as grounding, is one of the most significant yet simplest steps you can take, living in civilisation in a modern life, to improve your health and enhance your well-being, mental function and everyday experience of life. Of all the healthy lifestyle practices you can engage in,  earthing requires the least effort and time commitment yet it maximises results.

Here is our interview with Dr John Kelsey explaining in wonderful depth about the use of earthing devices and their benefits.



Personally I feel an intense desire to live as immersed in nature and as close to the Earth as possible. For the moment the things I need to do to fulfil my purpose keep me living and working in a house much of the time and I am immensely grateful for this very simple technology.  It does not replace getting out into nature and going barefoot on the Earth rather it fills in the gaps when we can't do this.

Putting it in basic terms, our body metabolism , by its very nature produces free radicals.  These need to be counteracted by antioxidants or electrons, which we get to some degree from foods such as fruit and vegetables and also the hormone melatonin.  However we were designed to run in physical connection with the earth, without any insulating materials between us, such as rubber soles, carpets and floorboards.  From the Earth comes a flow of electrons which naturally balance the effects of metabolism.

Earthing sheets are cotton sheets with silver threads running through them. You just put one on the bed on top of your normal sheet and plug into the socket.  The plug does not make a connection with the live part of the mains, just the earthing connection which runs down into the ground.  So the socket does not need to be on and an earthing sheet is not an electrical device in the sense that we normally understand. Through  the moisture that comes out of our bodies we connect electrically to the sheet and through that to the Earth.

The change to sleeping on an earthing sheet was a profound experience for us.  For the first week we actually felt fuzzy headed and found that difficult to deal with.  After those effects had waned we noticed how well we were sleeping and how refreshed we felt when we woke up. I think it has made us feel closer too.  One of the effects of grounding is to increase melatonin levels and even this by itself is known to increase the levels of harmony between people. The more of the time we are earthed the better. As Dr John Kelsey explains in our recent interview with him, even if we are earthed at night, we will get more benefit if we are also earthed before we go to bed. In the day we regularly use earthing throws and mats as well as walking barefoot in nature.  Users report that earthing for two hours before bed helps them sleep.  It is possible that the Earth is able to communicate to us the rhythms we need to function optimally.

Earthing also tends to balance brain hemisphere function.  Speaking to Tony Wright on the subject he hypothesises that what is actually happening is the right hemisphere has the capacity to respond to the improved conditions and becomes more active thus ameliorating to some degree cerebral dominance of the left hemisphere.

Recently I have got to the point of recommending earthing in nature and through earthing devices above any other health practice so it made sense to stock these products for sale.  We chose the convenient half sheet, the mat and grounding rod as the most popular products and the ones we have found most useful.  It's a one off investment which can last for years.  You could think of it as a device to harvest electrons.  Generations of humans  preceding the industrial revolution were conceived , born and grew up, worked and played in direct physical connection with the Earth. I personally think that beginning to re-establish this vital connection to our life source is fundamental to turning us into the sane and harmonious humans of the future.

phenomenal beneficial effects of grounding when using electronic devices

earthing with Clint Ober

We are electrical beings, designed to be connected to the Earth which is itself charged with electricity. In former days when we used natural materials to make our clothes and shoes and walked regularly on the land we were plugged into the physical body of the planet. When we are in connection with them, the natural fluctuations in the earth's energy grid regulate our body clocks and hormone levels.

Earthing, sometimes known as 'grounding', is the simple practice of having our barefeet on the ground or using grounding devices when we are in a building or on a computer.  It can produce fast and surprising results, rapidly normalising body physiology with enormously beneficial results.

Grounding

http://www.groundology.com/about_grounding.php

By the way, these grounding solutions are actually really straightforward - a cord that plugs in the mains (which is grounded under the house anyway with some kind of copper rod)is attached to a wrist/ankle strap or a mat to put under the computer or put bare feet on.

This company supplies very affordable straightforward 'barefoot' technology with free UK delivery - I have no vested interest - just trying to help!

Grounding, or earthing, refers to connecting electrically with the Earth.  A growing body of research is finding numerous health benefits as a result of the physical body being grounded.  Unfortunately, with our modern rubber or plastic soled shoes and insulated sleeping arrangements, we no longer have a natural electrical connection to the Earth, unless walking barefoot.

There are two key reasons why this electrical connection is important:

The Earth is a massive reservoir of negatively charged free electrons.  Without a connection to this reservoir, the cells in our body are unable to balance the positive charge which results from things like electron-deficient free radicals.  The effect of excess positive charge in the blood can be seen very clearly by the way in which the cells are attracted to clump together (see Scientific Research).

Our modern environment is full of a wide spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, from computers, mobile phones & masts, radio & TV broadcasts, WiFi, Bluetooth, power lines, domestic wiring, and other electrical appliances.  This electromagnetic radiation induces voltages in our bodies, disrupting the trillions of subtle electrical communications which are a vital part of the function of our body's systems.  By being grounded to the Earth we greatly reduce the levels of these induced voltages, as we are then effectively shielded by the Earth's large electrical mass.

On a less tangible level, it may also be that the connection we make with the Earth actually carries information, and helps align us with the greater network of intelligence of our planet.

The simplest way to be grounded is to go outside and place your bare feet or hands on some grass or earth, or to immerse yourself in a body of conductive water such as the sea or a mineral-rich lake.

When indoors, an excellent Earth connection can be made by driving a long copper rod into the ground outside, running a copper wire from the rod, and then connecting it to ourselves.

This may sound like a lot of hassle, but fortunately the majority of domestic electrical systems in the world already have such a copper rod and wire running indoors, connecting to the 3rd pin on every mains electrical outlet.

There is a safety consideration here, and so all the products we offer on this website have built in protection in the (very unlikely) case that a socket has been mis-wired (see the FAQs for more information). 

The most immediately noticeable effect people report from being grounded is that they ‘feel better’.  This has been described as a feeling of greater peace within themselves, feeling calmer with reduced stress levels.  If there is pain present then often this is reduced or disappears completely.

People who notice negative effects from using computers or other electrical equipment report a reduction or elimination of these effects when grounded.

With regular grounding, numerous health benefits have been observed, such as:

Improved immune function
Improved digestion
Improved sleep
Rapid healing of injuries
Reduction of high blood pressure and improved blood flow
Harmonisation and stabilisation of the body's basic biological rhythms
Accelerated recovery from intense athletic activity
Improvement of many illnesses and conditions, including:
Fibromyalgia
Chronic inflammation (and associated conditions)
Arthritis
Autism
Insomnia
Stress / anxiety / depression / irritability
PMS
Menopausal symptoms
Bad circulation
Wounds
Aches & pains
Electrosensitiviy
