I have quite a few clients that are using the earthing products and they report back to me periodically. What are they saying? See below:
1. Initially one client felt a bit anxious using the pad and couldn't use it for more than five minutes. She did some EFT around her thoughts about being grounded and now can use the pad without difficulty. No news yet on she experiences its healing effects.
2. Another client found it was making her feel anxious to use it at night, "made my skin crawl." I suggested she purchase an outside grounding cord and try that (which I did myself). That made all the difference for her and now she can use it all night long. She also reports much better sleep now-after a week of use.
3. One client has been using an ankle band to help with ankle swelling and has found a DRAMATIC difference in her dependent ankle edema with nightly use.
I'll keep you posted...

Three weeks of earthing
I have now had three weeks of using the earthing products. What do I think? Well, overall I AM impressed. I really like the stability they give the basic energies while I am working on a client and do believe they allow me to move into deeper work sooner. I have had a couple of clients that became anxious and flu-like after using the products- possibly a "healing crisis" reaction. Not a bad thing overall, just inconvenient and somewhat stressful for the client. That has also happened occasionally with other clients after energy work though, so it is difficult to know what part the earthing exposure had on the reaction. One of my clients with a chronic abdominal issue reports a true difference in how she feels (I gave her some earthing stuff to use at home for a bit). Another client who has chronic leg swelling issues when she flys reports NO swelling on her last flight. That gets my attention.
In my personal use of the products I have definitely felt a difference in my electromagnetic sensitivity, which was why I originally started this investigation into earthing. I can use my electronic devices without feeling dizzy or "creepy" and no more headaches in the morning!! My sleeping is much improved. I can now fall asleep much quicker and I rarely wake up at night anymore. I did have a disturbed night the night preceding the earthquake, but other issues could have been related to that as well. I am going to be doing some traveling over the next two weeks and will not be sleeping grounded, so it will be interesting to see what happens.
My overall impression? I'm impressed.

What about my clients?
So far, I've tried the grounding electrodes on 2 people. The first client (KK) noticed a lot of body sensations with the electrodes and we were able to move to much deeper work more quickly in her session. I sent her home with a grounding band and cord to try on a pulled muscle.
For the next client (TR), I checked the integrity of her energy system BEFORE I hooked up her K1's. I wrote down everything that was out and then rechecked her after five minutes of grounding. Only two things did not correct. After ten minutes, everything had balanced. I kept her hooked up for an hour, then checked after ten minutes to see what had held. Everything was still strong. TR stated for dinner, so we had a chance to check her system again after two hours. This time everything except two things had held. The two things that went out were areas related to her chronic issue- a spleen point and abdominal points. I sent her home with a band and some electrodes and we'll check again in a week.
Client Updates 8/19/11
I'm finding some pretty intriguing stuff. I have been starting my sessions by doing a comprehensive assessment of my client's basic energies, but not correcting anything. Then I have them lay down on the massage table which has one of the grounding devices on it (electrodes, earthing sheet or mat). I wait five minutes and retest their basic energies. What have I found? 90% of the people have corrected ALL the basic energies that were "out". The other 10% self correct after five more minutes. I leave them "plugged-in" for the rest of the session while I do whatever balancing I need to do, then unplug them, wait five minutes, then retest everything. Everything is holding well.
Why is this important? Well, it shows that the basic energies are quickly brought into line by just five minutes of earthing- pretty impressive. It also gives me a balanced platform for doing the rest of the session. If I can work from a point of knowing that ALL the basic energies are balanced (and will stay that way while I work) I can move more quickly into deeper work and I can more easily identify chronic issues.
Is it magic? Nope, it's not. Some things it does not seem to correct, at least not quickly like the basic energies. It doesn't balance the chakras, correct yin/yang balance, or balance the five rhythms. Interestingly though, it does seem to calm triple warmer and most of my clients report feeling calm yet energized. Recently I have been doing a lot of seed cell work (deep correction of chronic issues) while clients are plugged-in and have found the cells to balance more quickly with less recidivism. I am encouraged that this is a valuable addition to my work. Yeah!

Sleeping Grounded
I was really excited to see the next package arrive. My grounded bed sheet was here! I quickly unfolded the sheet, plugged in the grounding cord, checked the outlet, and tucked the sheet around the bed. Then I hung out for a while. I definitely felt buzzy. My feet were tingling and my hands seemed to vibrate. I actually felt a little anxious, but I think that was from anticipation more than anything else. What would happen next?
Well next, Ralph came to bed. Ralph is my husband and truly one of the most wonderful people I know. He is very supportive in general, and always encourages me to go with my intuition. He was quite willing to lay down and give the whole grounding thing a try, although he hadn't read the book yet. Ralph promptly fell asleep. I became quite tuned in to what I was feeling. I'm an energy medicine practitioner, so I'm really tuned into how energy flows through my body. I was feeling all sorts of sensations - trickles of energy down my arms, waterfalls through my abdomen, and little jumps and pops of energy percolating through my limbs. Curious and kind of fun. Eventually I did fall asleep and slept really soundly.
The next morning I noticed my usual morning headache wasn't there. Great! I sleep by a wall with a lot of wires and they have really been bothering me lately. I' m planning on moving our bed to the opposite wall this weekend, but no headache now!! I' m still going to move the bed though.
Ralph said he didn't feel anything, although he did sleep well.
Days 2-4
I'm sleeping well EVERY night and no morning headache. The arthritis in my left pinky hasn't hurt either. I think I actuallly feel more SOLID, like I have roots into the ground. Interesting.

First run...
The electrode and band kit arrived first. I slapped a couple of the electrodes on the bottom of my feet (over K1- the start of the kidney meridian and an important point for grounding), checked my outlet for a ground, plugged the grounding wire into the ground port on the outlet, and the connected the other end to the electrode. Actually I did this twice, since I was doing both feet. Then I waited.
I didn't have to wait long. Almost immediately I felt a tingling sensation travel up my legs through the kidney meridian. Then my hands started to buzz. None of it felt bad, in fact it felt kind of relaxing. I hung out on the couch for about an hour, then took the patches off. What felt different? Nothing so far.

Gotta start somewhere...
I recently came across Clint Ober's book on earthing. What's earthing? It's about being grounded into the earth. Why is that important? Grounding helps your body reduce inflammation, which is a huge factor in chronic health issues like heart disease,diabetes,arthritis, and all the auto-immune illnesses. Here's the blurb from Amazon:
"Throughout most of evolution humans walked barefoot and slept on the ground, largely oblivious that the surface of the Earth contains limitless healing energy. Science has discovered this energy as free-flowing electrons constantly replenished by solar radiation and lightning. Few people know it, but the ground provides a subtle electric signal that maintains health and governs the intricate mechanisms that make our bodies work-just like plugging a lamp into a power socket makes it light up. Modern lifestyle, including the widespread use of insulative rubber or plastic-soled' shoes, has disconnected us from this energy and, of course, we no longer sleep on the ground as we did in times past.
Earthing introduces the planet's powerful, amazing, and overlooked natural healing energy and how people anywhere can readily connect to it. This eye-opening book describes how the physical disconnect with the Earth creates abnormal physiology and contributes to inflammation, pain, fatigue, stress, and poor sleep. By reconnecting to the Earth, symptoms are rapidly relieved and even eliminated and recovery from surgery, injury, and athletic overexertion is accelerated."
This is pretty important stuff, so I decided to try it for myself and see what happens. I purchased some of the grounding products and got started. This blog is going to detail what I've found out and experienced.
