Spiritual Earthing..

[Stuart27]

OK, so this isn't really my thing, it's more my partners. She's really into all things spiritual and she came across this technique known as Spiritual Earthing(or Grounding) which I thought was quite intriguing and may have some scientific merit to it.

I don't fully understand the process but I think the concept is pretty simple, we're basically electrical beings that have been isolated from "Mother Earth" because in our every day lives we hardly ever touch Earth with our bare skin.
And by connecting our body to earth, electrons will flow, causing a balance in our electrical energy that will potentially have positive health effects..

So this gave me an idea and my question is this... Could I achieve this Earthing process by simply sewing some metallic threads into our bed sheets and connecting it to an earth point in the bedroom, from a light switch or power socket for example? Or would I just be exposing the bed (and us) to a potentially fatal fault current?
I don't think connecting an earth wire to our bed would be dangerous in any way, but I thought i'd ask the question just to be sure.

What do you guys think about this process? Have you heard of it before? There seems to be a lot of medical and scientific research gone into it..

I assure you no judgement on my part comes out of this

Sorry about that!

I do love the concept of draining all my un-wanted, negative energy ,with earth contact .
(obviously why the frugal part of me likes camping).
--Knowing "My Luck" I will drain my positive energy-
-If any science is involved--
.... If you believe - IT Will Work ...
(a proven part of the human condition) a +MA.

I'm a great believer in the placebo effect. More study needs to be done on this and the positive impact it can have on human health. In secret of course

I just use my negative energy on here taking the pee pee out of telctrix...... ;o))))))

He keeps me grounded, only because he stole my ladders...... ;o)))))

This spiritual earthing is nothing more than Pseudoscience, there is no scientific backing and even the concept is electrically wrong, does it benefit a person who believes?.. it can but for very different reasons than it is actually real, often the believer can use it to relax and also change their mood and or stress levels which is beneficial to health.

It is like a psychological placebo effect seen from a sugar pill.

I wouldn't tell her any of this though, you probably have a calm laid back happy wife, destroying ones belief system can have lasting consequences.

I do think barefoot walking on the grass is good for us, but I wouldn't be wanting to cuddle up to the main earth terminal overnight...

Does this come under ‘functional earthing’?

I would also have no idea how to calculate the appropriate csa of the cable.

...it’s amazing how intelligent people can believe in this dribble, higher beings etc.

That's what people used to say about the earth being a sphere.
I'm 99.5% sure earthing the bed will not make any difference at all, however I'm open to the tiny little chance that it might, simply because it's healthy to keep an open mind.

Like "you are a crap sparks"?

Don’t mix your grounded bedsheets with the electric blanket.

Oh boy! It's taken me an hour to write this as I just can't stop laughing at the opening post. Has anyone considered suitable labelling for the proposed bed sheet earthing arrangements into a socket outlet or are we happy with Pete's green and yellow idea?

You could use ARGENTIUM® fabric, those silver ions should make the sheet pretty conductive, plus you get the added bonus of never having to wash it because it would never get smelly

Unobtanium is the mineral to source, it's even rarer than an electrician on here with a sense of humour.

Some people still do believe it’s flat. Flat earthers I believe they are called. I’m 100% sure they’re retarded.

But you are correct, I should keep an open mind but drivel like earthing yourself does not compute for me.
