Earthing Anniversary | What Earthing can do for you! - Part 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSgMHEYk-gs

I watched a bunch of video's on youtube what people do to ground their shoe's and found best material to do it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BuWvlKRQFU&t=42s
I found out don't use copper conductive adhesive tape, i did mine and it does make little noise when you walk and also it scratches off on bottom so you need to re-apply again when that happens as shown in the video above. You could buy a thick roll of copper tape and add more when needed. Also be very careful the edge of copper tape is very sharp, while taping my shoe i cut my finger.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TitanRF Faraday Tape - High-Shielding Conductive Adhesive Tape
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CR ... UTF8&psc=1

Ok so Farady tape is not cheap but material is way better, it binds to any fabric material of the shoe very very good. I tested it with a tester and it works perfect. Do any of your favorite shoes that you love.

IMPORTANT= Never use thick sockes, i tested them in shoes and your heel is not touching the conductive tape so the tester don't light up green. If you can use very thin socks or maybe sacrifice and make some conductive socks by cutting a little circle in back, thats if your sock is thick. I mean you could buy conductive socks but that is very expensive, not worth it. Also on wet ground and thunder storm days be very careful and have regular shoes next to you.

Any way any better idea's on DO IT YOURSELF grounding shoe's, please share.

Edit: i found this tape will save more money
https://www.amazon.com/Double-Sided-Con ... ial&sr=1-4
its 80 feet long instead of 10 feet that was posted above and its only 5$ more. Also any cheaper conductive tape material is welcome.

Edit: You could also get Faraday Fabric to cut out for inside shoe. Perhaps this might work with thick socks, i dont know. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Faraday+Fabr ... _sb_noss_2 or even cover your whole bed and attach grounding wire to it, you save like 200$, fabric is like what 15$ 20$ max? I really dont know which one is the softest or comfortable..

What is Grounding/Earthing? 5 Amazing Benefits of Grounding

Why You Should GROUND YOURSELF! - How Grounding Affects Your Health! Earthing | Clint Ober

To return normal in electrical term. I was not a believer for a long time until my sister convinced me with her science book. Many different examples, including blood work with picture before grounding and after. I mean i understand this is new to many people, something that easy that was in front of our nose the whole time but not paid attention... It took me once to borrow a grounding mat, once i had the best sleep ever, i was sold. Imagine what else it can fix in people if it changes blood into perfect order heaven? We all know, the best stuff is always hidden when it is in front of us. Be it medicine or something else that benefits us. If i ever visit a friend in another state, i will take my pillow size grounding mat. I already know most people have sleep issue and other stuff, i just want my sleep to be good. I read somewhere, what shamans use to do if someone was sick is dig a hole where a person can put there feet and ass in, in front of fire for 2-3 days walking and singing, and the person gets well. Could be grounding instead of there magic stuff? who knows. One thing i know for sure your body volts will be 0.00. As soon as you step off grounding, depending on how much wifi and electricity flowing, it adds back up into your body. Earthing video said if 20 volts build up in body its possible to have organ failures not to mention many other problems. So its a good idea to everyday to at least step once on soil. Why do i ground? Because i feel more normal and healthier.

Well if anyone ever open new business, good idea to make grounding beds and mattresses. I can see how demand will grow once people catch on. Same thing goes for shoe's. Sadly they only have shit stuff for shoes cheaply made from china. Can't wait till grounding shoes go main stream so i can buy some. I am sure there is tons of material that is conductive, to replace the rubber part. Do it your self shoe's looks weird. If i get any better idea over the conductive tape, i will sure share it. I am sure hikers would be the first to buy them all, imagine hiking and the beach, but you get that beach feel while you hike and wear shoes.

The Earthing Movie: The Remarkable Science of Grounding (full documentary)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44ddtR0XDVU&t=0s

So ever since i started earthing, i feel like my memory has improved and i can recall details better. I also noticed i dont wish to get out of bed for longer time because feeling sooo soo good. Earthing mats for beds do help a ton, i hope some of ya'll get to experience what i experienced. Crazy part no pills , drugs, nothing is needed. Sleep is zero issue, when i hit the pillow, fall asleep like a baby. Give it one month, and you will tell many many differences in what you got improved health wise. Put the earthing mat on bed and forget it, when have a chance touch the earth with bare feet when you remember. Something this simple can remove ADHD from many kids in school and anyone in general, yet simple grounding measures are not taken anywhere. As i understand there is tons of science why not doctors teach this to people? If you like flowers or planting, do as much as you can, you will be happy you did so.

Lmao tons of science? What?

There is no science proving this conspiracy theory that barefoot contact with the earth has health benefits. If you look into it, it's mostly a few researchers who are doing all of the studies. Gaétan Chevalie heads a lot of them and I'm recognizing a lot of other names floating around other studies.

I would consider any studies in favor of this to be cherrypicking. Many psuedosciences have studies 'proving' their worth, but without scientific consensus it does not really prove anything. Also most of these studies use heating mats rather than dirt and some of them are done outdoors (presumably in the daytime with the sun out) which totally invalidates everything.

If you consider this to be 'tons of science' I would really reconsider your fact checking skills.

Hey i just want to confirm, i been sleeping on a grounding matt on my bed for a bit now and results is super duper good. I feel normal in all ways, only down side if i leave house i get hay wired for a day when i am away from house/bed. I came to conclusions, my body is getting adjusted to cell towers frequency and makes me dizzy for a full day, this happens every time i noticed, its like going from heaven to shit for a day until my body gets used to it. But if store shopping i start feeling i but when home, all 100% balanced again. Its like if your TV is static like in old days, you make sure to look the grounding is connected to make it not static. Humans become all static and hay wired too my assumption. Good thing we can adopt to any situation even living in pain by taking pain pills and tricking your mind your not in pain but in reality damage is being done still. I always wake uo 100% well more like 150% extra energy even 6 hours is enough with so much extra energy..... I you still got doubts, only way to test it, get a grounding matt your self and test it for 6 months maybe even 1 month is enough to start feeling results, its not instant but over time your body becomes very balanced, so lots f patients on results please. Posting this up for those who never tried it and was on the fence perhaps could be a new year resolution to try.

If anyone makes a tech how to always be grounded in your own house, will be number 1 hit in the future, and people will seek these houses out to buy, i am sure there ways to do it but we just dont know how. Maybe for beginning if got basement and cement floor, if add little water on cement, it can conduct trough cement into dirt if you stand with bare feet, imagine if there was a tech you didnt have to do that and your house had grounding frequencies no matter where you were in the house. that would be very cool to have. If you guys having bad sleeps, check cell tower locations , they full blast them from 7pm to 7am, you might wake up feeling tired and very fatigued. Or if you work nights, you might feel very sickish or tired or sluggish. Now thats what i read somewhere so lets say there is some truth in it, not saying there is, also if you look all over USA the only location thy dont blast cell towers is airports where airplanes land, you will see dark patches nice and clean. Safe zones.

My point is find diferent ways to get grounded or find time here and there, just a reminder and promise you will feel it. IT WORKS, i tested many times, even when on the road when i am in rest area, sometime i ll sit on the grass or cement tables or metal tables an eat since all of them conduct to ground. I do it consciously aware of the benefits. If you touch any parts of metal of car, it reduced volts from your body body not fully since tires disconnect the car but metal can absorb some of it. On first glance you might think the cold metal feels good but in reality you feel better because you recused some volts from your self. If you watched the movies, you should know by now, if you dont ground for a long time, you get organ failures in different body parts, very important. I am sure science cnt explain everything and we all know there is trouble makers who pushing fake science and hiding real science away, i really hope more details come out in future how grounding works and more science. we at the stage where people only becoming aware of it.

IT WORKS 100% FROM MY EXPERIENCE. DIFFERENCE IS DAY AND NIGHT FOR ME. MAY YOU ALL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS AND FEEL EVEN BETTER IN 2022!

All I know is walking is walking barefoot is good for the arches but you should still wear shoes outside. When your inside go barefoot it actually does has real benefits like improving balance, and the arches but like I said you should still wear shoes outside. Sleeping out hard surfaces like the floor can be good for posture, and the back if done right. Beside that I think this whole grounding thing is overkill, and unnecessary. They have shoes that mimics natural walking without shoes that’s supposed to be good for your feet.

Thanks for your opinion, and yes hard floor and bare feet does improve posture there for you feel better, thats why i pick mattress that is barley soft and not to soft. on the part of grounding being over kill, its very subtle like kratom and results can be noticed by comparing how you felt before and after, 1 month is enough to tell the difference. Compare it your self, you know it works when you feel the difference, there for you need no science. If you give your will power away to others like TV or scientists, you will lose your self faster then you think because you like being told things and cant think for your self. Over kill or not, i know i will always use the matt and you cant convince me other ways. In the future i will try to seek good science that explains how this grounding thing works, i know its out there i just didnt look for it. I think in the future we wont even think about it, there will be a grounding frequency similar to frequency 432 hz 3,6,9 ... Not sure it will ground you listening to it but i know it will balance you, try it out, search on youtube and pick favorite one sounds best for you. Stress, anger, fear will start disappearing, it works and yet you dont know how it works. Everything is frequency. So next time something triggers you , youtube "432 hz 3,6,9" remember those numbers. Combining with the grounding matt is a power house for sure, like i said , you cant focus only on grounding, there are many factors always at play. Example, food choice, design of your room, clean dirty, your moods can be affected and triggered by having something off balanced in the body. just few examples. Simply changing your room around, maybe adding confortable colors, switching things around, add some candles even fake once will work, sets the stage. All you will need is your favorite herbal hot tea with raw honey and a good movie. Lol ok i got carried away a little. Imagination intention is the key. Foundation should be grounding, just like the whole house is and every single appliance in the house then posture, like bare feet in the house and dont sleep on tooo soft mattresses. If posture is screwed up, try to fix that. my sister had very bad back and once she went to professional to straiten it out, she felt like a new person. I am just trowing idea's here, dont need to do anything here, only you yourself know whats best for you.

I even sometimes turn these friequencys on before sleep and have the best sleep ever with even more energy then i can ever handle... If never tried, try once if wish but be careful with all the extra energy when wake up.

Like recent one i did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZ2XMoKVNMI , i just closed my eyes, let your mind take where ever it takes good or bad don't matter with this music it heals the bad, just let your mind wonder away, be it childhood memory's or happy moments of lifes from the past, just enjoy in it, float in it, even if nothing to think about it enjoy the music. If usin your imagination and fantasy, do so, be it in space and many planets and you exporing around or what ever comes up, once you are done, look back at the experience and wonder , damn it could of been put into movie. yes its that good, if you never tried it, recomend trying it at least once, set the stage, turn off the lights, set best comfortable chair or bed, you decided to your comfort level. perhaps a perfect way to join , meet and greet 2022 with best intentions for everyone. 2022 will be the year of awakening , where people get more close together in love. Everything they knew will be flippeed upside down and they will learn there is soo much more too who they are, and they didnt even know. The power of mind and will...

Get some very best red kratom you have, this music sounds FKIng amazing! I used Turle Horn of what ever was left of the sample from dennets..

Some goods mind sets to have before sleep if you listen to this, have an intention of the highest good light, love best beings out there to watch over you with the help of the music that vibrate every cell of your being, imagine your self in a sweet loving bubble and not one evil or bad thing can get in while you vibrate in estacy while sleeping. You might have very very good dejavu dreams. enjoy it.

String, i like how you high lightened my thought patterns. If or when i get into this subject more serious, i will for sure try to bring hard proof science backing me up. Your unique. i never seen someone do what you did. well noticed.

I try to be as objective as possible. I think its important.

I get the sense that you value being objective as well, but if I'm going to be honest, I don't think you are very objective. Not trying to be a dick or anything but I think there are times where you post very biased sources to back your opinions.

Do you see how you posted in the OP about sources, but then admit there is a lack of sources later on? I am not focusing on whether what you said is true or untrue, but rather, your use of evidence to form your own opinions.

It seems you are recognizing that you did not have the hard evidence to back your opinions at the start of this thread. I really don't think there's anything wrong with that because everyone does it all the time. But do you see that you are doing it? Or will you instead try to find sources that 'prove you are right'? Again, not trying to focus on whether you are right/wrong or whether I am right/wrong. I just want you to look at your behavior.

If you ever see me pushing any opinion that is not backed by consensus science, please, call it out. I don't like to be wrong, but I don't mind being told I am wrong. I will argue with you all day if it means finding out the truth about something. You should know I spent a lot of time looking into the Qdrops and stuff. I lost real life friends because of it. So I am not just repeating whatever I hear on the news. I research everything. Maybe the results of my research are different from yours, for whatever reason, but I do take the time to look into everything before forming an opinion. I am pretty fucking anal about it, actually.

Like you said its my opinion, i know it works for me. Zero evidence here guys. You have to try it out your self's to see if that will works for you too, if you never try you will never find out. Maybe there is something to it that i love planting tree's and garden work??? i dont know. End result, those who want too, will try it and those who think its mumbo jumbo will ignore it. No science needed. And yet if i have science more people will consider trying it. i understand your logic. I enjoy my grounding bed mat, i can tell the different 100% just my personal experience. evidence is me alone. i am sure that's not enough. Give me some time, i am convinced me and you will have nice fun debates.

I know and agree i need to learn on how to be objective, one of my weaknesses. thank you for pointing out, i ll consider that. But you making me want to read few books on grounding, i am more of a video watcher, hate books... Might have to consider one book i bought. still on page one... I do think i have ADHD, my mind can get bored fast, i can't b focused on one thing, sometimes i ll start like 30 videos tabs , maybe somehow finish one 80% close them all and start over. I just cant finish anything some reason, so hard for me. I did try Adderrall from a friend and when i read all the side effects, scared the crap out of me. dont want to mess with that, if you know anything that may help me, i would appreciate it... Did you know, its better to use debate word instead of arguing, arguing sounds like snow ball fights. I do think that i am very ignorant sometime and need to work on that as well, i often say my thing an bounce away with out paying attention what the other person is trying to say. I could talk about something, look at the bird fly and say what was i talking about? if you dont remind me i will struggle to remember. good thing this is text so we can reread it. I would definitely say i am more of a in the moment being. Once i finish writing up i will forget about it until i see it again. you came off very sincere and polite, there for from now on i will try to understand your views. maybe re-read few times since i am not full blown professor in English. I speak mixed linquo. I am not perfect in Ukranian/Russian or English. But i was planing finding a good college to improve on that. you probably already noticed my sentences and words are flipped and all over. Main part is to understand the message, right>?

On the Q drops since you mentioned, i seen few videos, i seen another one on bit-chute since, it has something to do with military? they talked about nesara gesara/new system. i remember when news kept talking about Q or Qanons i thought its just random people they dont like.. i know this is grounding subjects, but i dont mind you explaining what is Q exactly to you, and where did anon come in, is anon people and Q military? since i know you take this subject serous since losing friends.. sorry to hear that.. Q is it just opposition messing with people minds? i mean you can highlight this maybe post it in politics section maybe? I do not know much, and dont have interest is this subject but i know its dear to you, i dont mind hearing your thoughts.

I'm with you there. I struggle to read too. I struggle with attention issues. My mind often wanders when I'm in active conversations. I like text because I'm able to organize myself better. I can think things through, and think about what I really believe, what the other person believes, and why. It's harder to do this in conversations because we are pushed into discussing the next thing, thinking about the next thing, move forward, on and on, etc. Oral debates are more a show of linguistic skill than anything. That's why I like reading and writing. It helps me to better compartmentalize everything. You can just gaze through a video, but when I'm reading and I have an interesting though, I have to stop and think about it, or choose to ignore the thought and keep reading. It's powerful, you know? Reading has proven cognitive benefits, and I think its because of the way it pushes people into thinking. I don't really know what I'm talking about though lol.

The Qanon conspiracy is basically the conspiracy that we are on a God-driven path towards a new age. 'Great Awakening' or 'Great Reset'. A lot of people within this conspiracy community believe that Trump was sent by God to bring about this reset. There are a lot of Christians who tie in this reset with basically, apocalypse. End Times. If you haven't heard about 'The Family' or 'The Fellowship' you absolutely need to, because there are prominent people in positions of power who are openly part of this religious organization that is trying to bring about war. They thing dudes like Hitler, Pol Pot, are similar to Jesus, as they were all strong men throughout history who changed the world with their covenant of brothers. Multiple members of the Trump administration are members of The Fellowship. It's like Zionism but with the end goal of war and famine that will pure out the undesirables from humanity.

Russian propaganda plays into this conspiracy theory, borne out of America, because it helps drive divide in America. The US does similar on Russian social media and Chinese social media with other conspiracy theories too.

QANON specifically surrounds the Qrops but ever since the 6th its use has been expanded to include anyone in this conspiracy umbrella. There are different branches of it. Some people believe HIlary Clinton drinks adrenochrome. Some people believe the US government is hiding aliens or lasers. Some people believe Biden is a reptilian. Some people believe the vaccine is harmful. Some people believe Satan is controlling Democrats. The point of this propaganda is to get all these conspiracy theorists into the same 'circle' of algorithms, so they all end up believing the same central message of "God is good. Lets change the world" which is a VERY appealing message for very obvious reasons. It's not a bad message at all, either. It's the way this message is being applied that is harmful; the way this message is being used to control the masses into supporting certain political figures or certain political views that are beneficial for the establishment/corporations/oligarchs/THE RULING CLASS.

I recently talked to my auntie, she is finely waking up to the reality of this world. month ago i told her to spend time at the beach and ground her feet on side sand of water waves. She didn't know what was wrong with her and had disease on kidneys liver, and prescribed expensive pills. After weeks if beach, she felt better... Next she complained she cant sleep, max 2-3 hours. I asked her where her smart meter was located. Surprise surprise, right behind her head behind the wall outside. Told her to try to sleep far end of the house as possible away from it and see if she get more sleep. Behold she slept better and more hours... Imagine she would never know that if she didn't run into me by accident. I think next step i will talk to her abut grounding. But if she getting enough sleep and better i don't wish to spend my time helping anyone. I learned you cant help everyone, you will lose energy and get even hate sometimes. Any way, just reminder if you getting bad sleep to sleep on the other end of house as far as possible away from it. I noticed i can sleep longer hours at will if with grounded mat, it does not happen if not on one when iam out of town or at friends house. I encourage others share this info with your loved once and friends. many still don't know why they cant sleep. Main problem most times is in front of us. Please bring awarness to others, dont be greedy. i am one man, but if everyone just shared few words it would help out a lot. There are many who suffering from insomnia and don't know why. Take care.

Correlation =/= causation

So many factors involved here.

Vitamin D from sunlight has proven benefits.

Placebo also has proven benefits.
