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.
Ok, here's an update. I found that having the sheet plugged into the grounding port of the outline provided a little too much energy for me. It was distracting, because I really like the sensation of energy moving through my body and I found I stayed awake noticing it. So, I got one of the grounding rods that you push into the ground outside. They have a 40 foot cord which reaches up to my second floor bedroom window. That has made all the difference. I still feel the energy, but it is much more subtle. And now? Well, I'm sleeping like a baby EVERY night. This was worth every penny.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you feel *more* energy when you're on the sheet? I thought earthing just grounded you and helped you discharge energy...
ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment! Earthing works by grounding you and that is accomplished by both discharging energy into the ground AND receiving free electrons from the ground. Using any of the grounding devices- sheet, pad, or electrodes- allows this exchange to happen. Just as if you were walking on the ground, K-1 would be receiving energy from the earth at the same time as it is discharging energy from your body.
Plugging into the grounding port of your three-prong outlet just intensifies the electron flow a bit more than sticking a metal rod in the ground. Because I have become more sensitive to energy flows in my body, I'm just more aware of that. The sensation wasn't unpleasant, just distracting. I find plugging the grounding sheet into the ground through that connector is just a bit gentler and I am not as aware of the sensations. I am sleeping wonderfully and my energy is staying in balance even better. Hope that helps!
