    Whenever I feel anxious (which is most of the time) it’s because I forgot that I am more than this one body, this one place in time, this list of things I have to do today.

What To Know Before Bringing Grounded Touch Indoors To Your Loved Ones

  I was recently asked:   “If a sick person is lacking the earth’s electrons, can you donate your electrons to them by touching them?”   The short answer to this is: yes.   When you were a kid, did you ever walk around in your socks, rubbing them on a carpet repeatedly so you could sneak up to your sibling and shock them? (Or was that just me, LOL? My poor older brother.) If you’ve ever shocked someone when touching them, you know this on a large scale — you could literally feel the large quantity of electrons passing …
