Prof. Benjamin Murphy, Ph.D.Grounding techniques directly address body voltage accumulation according to electromagnetic fields. When exposed, your body builds up an electrical charge, which is measured in volts. Grounding successfully neutralizes this charge by directly connecting one to the earth. This simple process causes a significant reduction in the measurable voltage.
Direct Earth Contact
- Stand barefoot on soil or grass for 30 minutes daily
- Reduces body voltage from 2-3 V to under 0.1 V
- Most effective in moist natural environments
- Morning sessions maximize circadian rhythm benefits
Conductive Systems
- Use grounding mats connected to grounded outlets
- Place under workstations or beds for continuous effect
- Silver-threaded sheets maintain contact during sleep
- Require periodic continuity testing for effectiveness
Measurement & Verification
- Use digital multimeters to check body voltage
- Baseline readings should exceed 1.5 V before grounding
- Target reductions to 0.3 V or lower post-session
- Track sleep quality improvements as secondary validation
The scientific basis consists of electron flow. The Earth resides in a state of negative electrical charge. Your body picks up positive ions resulting from EMF exposure. When contact is made, the electron flow neutralizes this charge. This biological phenomenon causes less susceptibility to inflammatory reactions associated with EMF sensitivity.
Grounding integrates harmoniously with other methods of protection from electromagnetic fields. Combine it with distance management from devices. Use it in conjunction with certain tested shielding. Together, this approach provides a layered solution to the problem, addressing both external electromagnetic fields and internal biological responses. The result often leads to better sleep and less bodily discomfort.
Children greatly benefit from grounding protocols. Their developing systems retain more environmental charge. Engage in playtime outside with shoes off every day. Use conductive play mats or sheets during playtime inside. Use meters that are safe for pediatrics to observe any changes in body voltage.
The correct technique will allow for maximum effectiveness. Ensure you have adequate skin contact with natural surfaces or conductive materials; the use of synthetic-type footwear while outside grounding should be avoided. Clean the contacts on the grounding mat every week. Verify the grounding to the outlet using circuit testers. These steps will allow for consistent results.
