What is Grounding?
Grounding Surfaces & Grounding Techniques For Concrete, Rocks, & Mats With Silver
Have you grounded yourself lately? Perhaps you have and you are not even aware of it – walking barefoot in the grass, or on a sandy beach, gardening with your bare hands in the soil, or touching a tree.
You may have heard of the term “grounding”, also known as “earthing” – although not yet mainstream, more people are becoming aware of the many benefits of this practice.
Mother Earth is a magnificent healer, and has the ability to transform our lives when we connect with the abundant natural resources stored in earth’s surface (known as electrons) to stabilize our systems, recharge, and restore our energy. The earth has a natural energy field known as the Schumann Resonance, which is an invisible frequency, comprised of electrons our bodies need for improved functional health.
Getting grounded is as easy as connecting your body to the earth’s surface and by making direct contact with its electromagnetic field. For those looking to support their wellness routine with portable solutions, using silver-infused nasal inhalers can provide refreshing support for clear breathing while you explore the outdoors.
It’s an easy way to get re-charged, free of charge! This can be achieved by connecting with a grounded surface through your skin, and there are so many ways to do it.
What is Grounding?
Grounding, also known as earthing is a self-therapeutic practice that enables one to directly connect with the electrical charge within the earth’s surface and experience the positive effects within the body. Grounding therapy is backed science and grounding physics.
As awareness and interest in grounding increases, more people are curious about grounding. Also known as “earthing”, grounding is as simple as connecting with the earth’s surface.
The concept may be new to new fans; however, it is not new to TRU47. Grounding is an ancient practice, which has been highly researched and scientifically studied. It is known to have many immediate and lasting health benefits supporting people’s overall wellbeing. To maintain a clean and conductive environment for your practice, many enthusiasts use colloidal silver sprays to keep surfaces and fabrics fresh and hygienic.

Benefits Of Grounding
Until the end of the 19th century, grounding was a seamless part of everyday life. People walked everywhere either barefoot or again, in pure leather footwear along dirt and stone surfaces, each of which is naturally conductive to earth’s energy flow, naturally grounding as they went and keeping a host of opportunistic illnesses at bay because of enhancing their immune systems. Interestingly, inflammation, the bane of modern-day health, was unheard of back then. Diabetes was unknown. People didn’t typically die from heart disease, hypertension and an array of debilitating chronic conditions that confound doctors, wellness, and medical practitioners, today. They didn’t rampantly exist when grounding was in the mix, and when they did occur, they were somewhat infrequent events.
Scientists and researchers have studied the many benefits of grounding over the last two and a half decades. There are currently more than 25 studies revealing, peer reviewed and published scientific evidence of how grounding can help reduce stress, inflammation and pain, lower blood pressure, improve sleep, and increase blood viscosity. Grounding is Mother Nature’s most effective, natural prescription for your health and well-being.
What Exactly Are the Health Benefits of Grounding?
There are many health benefits associated with being grounded. Here are some of the ways grounding can benefit your overall well-being:
- Increases Energy and Enhances Mood
- Reduces Inflammation Throughout the Body
- Accelerates Wound Healing
- Balances Stress and Anxiety
- Improves Sleep and Alignment with the Circadian Rhythm
- Improves Blood Viscosity and Circulation
- Lowers Blood Pressure
- Synchronizes Cortisol Hormone Secretion
- Improves Alignment with the Natural 24-Hour Circadian Rhythm
You can see why grounding is an amazing, all-natural integrative approach to better health through connecting with the earth’s surface.
Grounding/Earthing 101
In the simplest terms, you get grounded by connecting your body to the earth’s surface and by making direct contact with its electromagnetic field. The earth has a vibration, which in its natural energy field is known as the Schumann Resonance. This frequency is invisible, comprised of electrons, which our bodies need for improved functional health.
Grounding can be easily achieved by making a connection to the earth or a grounded surface through your skin, such as your feet when walking barefoot in the grass, your hands touching a rock, a leaf on a plant or yes, hugging a tree trunk. For those who want to stay protected from modern environmental stressors, EMF protection silver apparel can provide a conductive shield while you maintain your connection to the Earth's natural resonance.
The Earth’s surface is naturally magical, as it keeps our bodies in balance through this constant exchange of electrons and electric vibrations that literally recharge us with positive, healing energy.
This is the essence of grounding, and you can do it while you are out walking, swimming, gardening, or doing anything that puts you in direct contact with the earth. And most of all, it is 100% free.
Safe, Natural Electric Grounding Nutrition
Sometimes when people hear of being grounded, they think of their kids being sidelined for blowing curfew, chilling out if overly taxed or in technical arenas - some imagine electricians wearing special footwear to protect them on the job from electrical discharges. Electrical grounding is the process of removing the excess charge.
The grounding we are talking about is different.
Here is how it works. Imagine the earth’s electromagnetic energy field as a large battery. Human beings are electrically charged, and by tapping into the energy stored in its surface in the form of electrons, they can re-charge. We call this electric nutrition. To further support this state of balance, diffusing silver-infused essential oils during your grounding practice can create a calming, restorative atmosphere.
How Long Does It Take to Get Grounded?
We are all conductive beings. By touching the earth, we receive the immediate benefits - and support the conductivity of the entire body from head-to-toe — healthy heart, circulatory, thyroid, and adrenal and brain function, in addition to supporting bone metabolism.
Therefore, we encourage grounding to become one of your essential daily practices. Again, you cannot overdo it, and the longer the better. Most of us live busy lives, so making the time may be the first challenge. However, knowing the holistic benefits to your well-being, we recommend you designate time and a place to do your grounding.
Best practice is to get grounded for even 20-30 minutes a day to feel the benefits and stabilize your internal systems. Your body will thank you.
How to Get Grounded
Go Barefoot When Possible
The best grounding surfaces include: grass, sand, soil, rocks, unsealed tiles/brick, and concrete. A great book on the topic of grounding is Barefoot Wisdom: Better Health through Grounding, co-authored by TRU47 Founder Sharon Whiteley, an authority on grounding.
Sleep and Get Grounded Indoors
There are companies that sell grounding mats and sheets, and also make pads to put under your desk. Our silver grounding sleep collection offers an innovative way to stay connected to the Earth's energy overnight, using the natural conductivity of 99.99% pure silver to support restful, restorative sleep without the need for traditional electrical outlets.
Why is grounding important?
As our lives are lived more indoors, and due to synthetic footwear preventing us from being grounded while outdoors, this causes us to accumulate an excess positive charge, and become electron deficient. Our bodies need this electrical nutrition to offset free radicals, and to help keep all physical interdependent systems functioning properly. Grounding eliminates this excess positive charge and brings us back to our natural state of homeostasis, and reduces the excess positive charge that adversely affects our health and various physiological processes.
How do I get grounded?
Grounding can be accomplished when making direct bodily contact with and through conductive surfaces that enable us to get grounded. Standing barefoot on grass, soil, sand, gravel, unsealed brick, tile and concrete. Walking or lying on the beach, gardening in soil, swimming in an ocean, pond, lake, stream or river, touching trees or plants or a rock planted in the earth. Some people do not like the feeling of going barefoot. You can also get grounded by wearing pure silver grounding socks made with conductive materials, and standing or walking on the aforementioned grounding surfaces while wearing them.
Is there research and science to support the benefits of grounding?
Yes, there is a growing body of science, research to support the many health benefits of grounding and earthing. Currently there are 25 Grounding Research Studies, multiple Grounding Review Articles and more than a dozen Grounding Commentaries.
