Grounding was just feeling the earth under your feet in my hippy dippy days, I still like to be barefoot were possible.

Radio 4 Sliced Bread did a programme on these. I think they were sceptical, but I'm so glad to hear it's working for you ferry23 flowers

I've never heard of grounding but I shall find out more! I'm glad it's working for you.

I was honestly very sceptical at first - it all seemed like "hippy-dippy" stuff to me and had visions of skipping through corn fields with flowers in my hair.
That reminded me of the front cover of the Ladybird Book of Mindfulness 😁🌸🌼🏵🌺

I've just had a "Google" as I've never heard of this.

Just walking barefoot on grass, earth, leaves etc is a form of grounding. You can also buy sheets and pillowcases

Every day is a school day on GN!

I have seen lots of adverts about grounding mats and was thinking of asking for information on here too.I hope you get some info but it is good news to hear about your improved sleep.

I have read a lot about grounding, it’s a kind of magic!

I know Deborah Meaden (Dragons Den) is a huge advocate.

Glad it’s working for you.

I have chronic degenerative osteoarthritis, predominantly in my spine but also in my feet and hands. The back pain has ruled my life for the past couple of decades. I also have bad swelling in one leg (poor circulation) plus a wound on the same leg that has been reluctant to heal. Chronic insomnia, but I live with that.

On the suggestion of a friend, I've done a lot of research into grounding and after speaking with my GP I bought a grounding mat.

I've only been using it for 3 days but for the past two nights I've slept for 6 and 6 and a half hours - unheard of for me.

Pain, inflammation and wound healing apparently may take a little more time.

I was honestly very sceptical at first - it all seemed like "hippy-dippy" stuff to me and had visions of skipping through corn fields with flowers in my hair.

I just wondered if anyone else has tried grounding and if they have found it helps them?
