Maybe it is because I am older. Maybe there are results but I am just not seeing them; I am not tuned into my body enough to realize the magnificent changes that are taking shape. I am impatient. I am looking for dramatic change and cannot appreciate the remarkable changes already happening.
What if I stopped? Maybe then I would see the difference? But I choose to continue; I am not a quitter. I will see results. I will see the results that now I cannot or choose not to see.
The testimonies that Clint Ober provides in his book “Earthing” encourage me to continue trying. Chapters 9 and 10 particularly stir my resolve to continue. There are examples of the benefits of earthing throughout the book, but these two chapters stand out the most for me.
“Since 1998,” Clint Ober writes on page 109, “I have been invited into the homes of probably several thousand people and reconnected them to the Earth. I have grounded newborns, kids, young adults, midlifers, seniors, and centenarians, and individuals deathly ill for whom the medical system had no more fixes to offer. Some understood what I was doing. Most didn’t. They just understood later that they felt better and had less pain.”
Further on the same page Clinton writes: “I remember one case in which I grounded a mother at the request of her daughter, whom I had previously grounded. The older woman had suffered chronic pain in the hips for more than ten years. I placed two grounded electrode patches on her feet. After about twenty minutes or so, she said that she had to get up to go to the restroom. So I took the patches off. As she raised herself off the chair, she let out a scream. I got a real scare. I thought something had gone wrong.
“No,” she said, “my pain is gone.”
“Dramatic as that sounds, I’ve heard it many times over the years. It is simply a common refrain of people being reconnected to the Earth after being disconnected perhaps for a whole lifetime.”
The examples in the book continue on and on. The cases vary and the pain and suffering vary. The specific medical issues are so many that it may lead a person to think there is no medical situation that grounding to the Earth will not help.
And so recently I added something new to my experiment with earthing. I purchased an “earthing sheet” and placed it on my bed. Now when I sleep I am resting directly on a grounding system for the time that I am in bed. I’ll talk more about this later.
