I was introduced to Earthing a year or so ago and never got around to
practice it. http://www.earthinginstitute.net/index.php/overview

Finally a few months ago I placed a copper stake in the ground ran a
wire under the house into my bedroom and adjoined a Computer
bracelet to it and on to my feet. I was pleasantly surprised that I
slept much deeper, got up less during the night to go to the bathroom,
and felt psychologically better. Clint Ober who brought this Earthing
concept to our attention has added that it also helps to take some of
the pains of
age, however since I presently don;t have any I cannot vouch for
that.

My system is very primitive however it seems to work for me.

I have also enrolled in a course https://class.coursera.org/bioelectricity-2012-001/class/index
to try to understand the Science behind it if any??

https://www.coursera.org/ have some wonderful courses offerings for
free.

You have an Electronic background Ben what do you think???

I hope you are well

Regards bruno

I don't know what effect connecting your body to earth/ground would
have on your body's functions. And, I sure wouldn't rule out the
suggestion that it does. How is that for running sideways?? ;-)
Clint Ober's notions seem far fetched though.
It is true that the body uses electricity for survival. Google
Electroencephalography for one example of electrical activity in the
body. My electronics background didn't get me into the medical
instrumentation work. It would have been interesting to know how
those instruments worked.

I do know that if I connected my body to copper rod driven into the
earth in an electrical storm, I would become a great lightening rod
for mother nature to hurl bolts of fire at! :-( In areas of frequent
electrical storms tall buildings and power distribution towers,
lightening rods are installed with heavy copper cable running down to
copper-clad steel grounding rod(s) to drain the strikes to earth
harmlessly.

You may have seen the video of maintenance technicians transferring
themselves from a helicopter to the live high tensions power lines. He
stands on the skid holding a conductive "sizzle stick", one end of
which is connected to the chopper. As the chopper approaches, he
approached the live wire, drawing a long spark and connects to the
wire. that makes the chopper and the wire at the same voltage. At
that point, he transfers to the wire and disconnects the stick from
the chopper. Like a bird, he is unaffected by the high voltage. When
he finishes his work, the whole process is repeated in getting back to
the chopper. The pilot of the chopper has got to be damn good, too. I
wouldn't want either job!!

There are lots of high level courses there. Most of them for folks
with higher education. The one you cited would be useful for getting
familiar with electricity. When I first got interested in electronic
as a teenager, the discovery that I could "visualize" what was going
on in a electronic circuit or system, even though there was nothing to
actually see. (Now, feel is another matter!) Knowing how to
manipulate it and measure it was fascinating.

Well it's time to close, as we are off to Missouri tomorrow to a
wedding. No...not mine...

How do you measure "psychologically better", Bruno?

Well it is like a shackle but you don't seem to feel it as the wire it
is attached to
is very flexible.

I just feel better.

I'm not suggesting it may work for everyone, but just reporting
my observations and experiences. As I said I adopted a rather lazy
approach
to this idea even though I took Clint Ober at face value and was
rather curious and interested in the idea.

You really seem to care about those guys.


> Didn't I hear once that Werner may have been your boyfriend?????


He is a bit moth eaten now but in his heyday he wasn't a bad looker.

And with all those fans of his you may have been attracted a
little???

Just a thought fair Serena,

Do you want to discuss earthing or would you rather worry about my
seems?

> > Didn't I hear once that Werner may have been your boyfriend?????

You may have heard that from the psychic fount of wisdom -- Mr Tonon.
Not from anyone with first-hand personal direct ~experience~ of our
~relationship~.

If you say so Serena. Cannot understand why this should be important
to you
but I guess Muses have different thought patterns.

Obviously being of the wooden type you may have some difficulties in
understanding
feelings but just take my word for it. Please don't try it fair Serena
because you might be
pleasantly surprised of its effects and I don't want to be responsible
for you to be too feeling
good about yourself.

Hang on fair Muse.You now seem to agree the value of first hand
personal experience
and ignore gossip and hearsay?????

Has the leopard changed its spots??????

You think I consider symbolism important? -- Yet you responded to my
first suggestion of symbolic slave-gear...

Understanding (~the booby prize~...) feelings doesn't come into it --
my question relates to *locating* your feelings when you suggest that
you felt "psychologically better". *Where* did you feel
"psychologically better", Bruno?

> Please don't try it fair Serena

You may discuss things without getting burdened with ~responsibility~,
Bruno.Have no fear of that.

Do you want to discuss earthing or would you rather worry about my
"seems", Bruno?

I analyzed the ~possible~ sources of your "boyfriend" rumor. Feel free
to deny your demonstrated preference for "gossip and hearsay".

You noticed your own inconsistencies!

there are martial arts that practice this phenomenon. Aikido for one . The human soul ultimately shouldn't rely on outside contrivences for its serenity.

The human soul may even contrive to get along without the benefit of
