Summary
In this episode, Jeff explains the science behind “grounding,” also know as “earthing.” Direct contact with the earth's surface allows you to absorb negative electrons from the earth, which can help reduce inflammation and neuter the free radicals that cause oxidative stress in the body. Who knew?!
In this episode we cover:
00:02:00: Reducing oxidative stress by connecting with the earth
00:04:00: How negative charge is transferred to the earth’s surface
00:06:00: How negative ions neutralize free radicals in the body
00:10:00: How antioxidants can decrease oxidative stress
00:11:00: Health benefits of “grounding”
Balance Weekend Retreat with Schuyler Grant & Jeff Krasno in Topanga, CA, April 5-7, 2024.
This weekend retreat is all about practices that cultivate balance in your life. This will include movement (yoga and hiking), focusing the mind (meditation and breathwork), hot and cold therapy (ice plunge and sauna), and enjoying time together in community. Go to onecommune.com/retreat for more info.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to today's session on grounding. |
| 0:08.5 | My name is Jeff Krasno. |
| 0:11.0 | The word grounding carries multifarious meanings |
| 0:15.0 | from dishing out punishment to obstreperous children |
| 0:20.0 | to finding psychological equilibrium, as one does when |
| 0:25.4 | looking to ground oneself. Grounding is also a term relevant to electromagnetism. Electrical grounding is a |
| 0:34.1 | fundamental safety feature in electrical systems. It involves creating a direct |
| 0:40.8 | physical connection between electrical equipment and the earth. This connection is typically made |
| 0:47.1 | using a conductor like copper or aluminum wire and is designed to protect both the equipment |
| 0:53.6 | and more importantly importantly the user from |
| 0:56.8 | electrical faults. Well, humans are in a sense a piece of electrical equipment too as we produce a |
| 1:04.2 | field of electrical charge. And today's session explores the potentially protective activity of grounding our bodies by directly connecting with the Earth. |
| 1:17.2 | Now, life coaches are constantly peddling positivity. |
| 1:20.7 | Perhaps you've heard the axiom, change your thoughts, change your life. |
| 1:24.1 | The belief is that affirmative thoughts will translate into beneficial behavior |
| 1:29.1 | and also serve as a magnet for other positively minded people. This is commonly known as the |
| 1:36.1 | law of attraction. Now, while the notion that positivity attracts more positivity might work in |
| 1:41.8 | psychology, it violates Coulogne's law of electromagnetism. |
| 1:46.3 | The fundamental principle of this axiom is that light charges actually repel each other, |
| 1:52.5 | while opposite charges attract one another. In fact, a biologist might exhort you to be more |
| 2:00.3 | negative as a means to reduce oxidative stress. |
| 2:04.9 | Now, one way to do this is through establishing a connection to the Earth. |
