This week we continue our discussion of the Bioenergetics Checklist which focuses on 6 components to “charge your battery” and help you increase your overall energy and life force. Those six components are:
- Movement and Exercise
- Food
- Water
- Light
- Grounding
- Oxygen
Today we will focus on Grounding and PEMF devices as therapy. PEMFtherapy is the first step in our “Superhuman Protocol.”
In her book, The Pristine Blueprint, Dr. Beth McDougall, refers to PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency) devices as grounding on steroids.
In his great book, PEMF, the Fifth Element of Healing, Bryant Meyers, lists 8 top benefits of PEMF therapy.
1. Stronger Bones
2. Endorphins and Pain Relief
3. Better Sleep and HGH production
4. More energy (ATP)
5. Better Oxygenation and Circulation
6. Improved Immunity
7. Relaxation and Stress Reduction
8. Nerve and Tissue Regeneration
In Harry Massey’s book Restore Your Energy With Bioenergeticshe discusses grounding in the following excerpt.
I’ve mentioned electrons several times in this chapter because they are the key to any battery, including the body’s battery. Their flow is what drives work in the body. They are pulled from food to produce ATP (with the help of oxygen), and ATP powers the cells. They may be generated in response to sunlight in a way that’s similar to photosynthesis. And electric charge is produced by exercise and the building of structured water in the body.
There’s another way to get electrons into the body so their flow can drive activity. It’s free, and you don’t have to eat or swallow anything. It’s called grounding.
This is possible thanks to the excess electrons in the Earth’s surface. (You sometimes see the result as lightning when a strong positive charge builds up along the lower surface of clouds and then the two surfaces discharge against each other.) When you’re touching your bare skin against the Earth, your body is able to refuel on electrons, absorbing them from the Earth. Try walking in bare feet on the grass, dirt, or sand or otherwise touching the Earth with your hands or skin.
One of the great modern problems is that we’ve begun to insulate ourselves from the Earth, primarily with rubber-soled shoes. Rubber is an insulator, so it does not allow this flow of electrons to take place.
One study concluded: “Emerging evidence shows that contact with the Earth … may be a simple, natural, and yet profoundly effective environmental strategy against chronic stress, ANS [autonomic nervous system] dysfunction, inflammation, pain, poor sleep, disturbed HRV [heart rate variability], hypercoagulable blood, and many common health disorders, including cardiovascular disease. The research done to date supports the concept that grounding or earthing the human body may be an essential element in the health equation along with sunshine, clean air and water, nutritious food, and physical activity.”[10] Notice that all the other essential elements mentioned in this study are the same ones we recommend in helping to recharge the body’s battery.
For those who cannot ground often enough because of weather (long cold winters) or for other reasons, products exist that allow you to ground while working or sleeping through the grounding portion of electrical outlets. But if you can get outdoors, there is absolutely no cost to it, and of course it feels great. As a bonus, if you’re walking barefoot in nature near the ocean or waterfalls or in forests where there’s an abundance of negative ions in the air, then you’re breathing in extra electrons as well. Later, we’ll also talk about using a bioelectric device to further power your body’s battery with electrons.
