More than a Spiritual Practice
“Earthing”, the practice of being grounded through connection to the Earth’s surface, has long been practiced, yet only recently has scientific research begun to validate its benefits. Personally, I have long believed in getting grounded and consciously working to reduce my exposure to EMFs. That said,I will admit that my actions were motivated mostly by anecdotal evidence and cultural practices. In fact, I viewed getting grounded as more of a spiritual experience and in no way connected it to my desire to reduce EMF exposure. Little did I know that getting grounded was my best defense! Discoveries like this get me really excited, as they validate age-old traditions and provide evidence to the benefits of living in concert with nature.
A Holistic Approach
I really enjoyed this book for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the research! I can finally prove to my parents that I'm not so weird (maybe that's a stretch, but its a start). Second, the layperson explanations of the research while keeping the integrity of the science in place. Third, the compelling anecdotal stories from physicians and healthcare professionals. However, what I enjoyed most was the holistic approach the book takes. Despite all of the evidence for benefiting specific conditions and the known scientific markers that have been observed in clinical studies, the authors maintain a holistic approach and repeatedly acknowledge the body’s innate wisdom.
Not your typical health guru
Clint Ober is a man on a mission to bring awareness to the world about Earthing. Clint’s path as a pioneer in the health industry was less than typical. In years previous, Clint owned and operated one of the largest cable installation companies in the United States. Clint’s understanding of the need to “ground” cable to prevent interference would become the bridge that brought him to the health industry. At first it was a curiosity while observing the array of insulated shoes people wore. Next, it was Clint walking around his home with a voltmeter (connected to a ground wire run outside) to measure the electrical charges he was being exposed to. The next day, he would construct his first grounding device out of metallized duct tape connected to a grounding wire run outside to ground his bed.
As the story goes, one night became two, and soon he was soliciting friends to validate what he was experiencing personally. It was from these humble beginnings that Clint went on to pioneer research, develop products, and team up with health professionals to advance the understanding and awareness of Earthing.
