The Final Frontier – Energy Healing....Reversing Atrial Fibrillation

The Final Frontier – Energy Healing
……Reversing Atrial Fibrillation

It’s all about energy.
How we produce it; how we keep it; and how we lose it.
The body is functionally electric. We are composed of electric fields.
Heart energy maintains Normal Sinus Rhythm.
Energy = Voltage.

“Science tells us that the body is one dynamic conductor of electrical impulses…or in the words of biophysicist, James Oschman, PhD [it is] ‘the living matrix.’ Cells contain an internal framework known as the cytoskeleton that connects all parts of the cell -- from nucleus to outer membrane. This “scaffolding” includes molecules that conduct energy and information inside each cell and outward to the surrounding environment; and (opposite), from the environment to the innermost parts of the cell and nucleus. Similarly, the surrounding environment, from head to toes, contains an extracellular network of conductive collagen and other proteins that are “hardwired” to cell membranes. Thus, the living matrix inside and outside cells provides a body-wide network for antioxidant electrons, a pathway hooking up all parts of the body, including the nervous system and all sensory receptors with all parts of every cell including the genome in every cell.” (Ober, Sinatra, Zucker Earthing 2020)


Essential nutrients generate and support energy production.
The Strategy and the science in CR 72 provide details for energy production that supports not only NSR, but also the 70+ trillion cells in the entire body. Those with the heart arrhythmia diagnosed as Lone Atrial Fibrillation are typically found to be deficient in magnesium often, also imbalanced in sodium and potassium.

The missing link is a discussion of the science that facilitates those nutrients to function as they should. We don’t just dump them in and they work automatically. Something makes it happen.

Enter the Final Frontier. Energy Healing.

Low energy = low voltage = acidic tissue pH = loss of electrons.

Anything that reduces voltage to heart cells has adverse symptoms such as arrhythmia.

“We are highly tuned and highly-sensitive bioelectrical creatures. Every process in the body is regulated by dynamic electrical currents. The three most obvious: the pumping action of the heart, the neurotransmissions taking place within the nervous system and the electrochemical activity of the 400 trillion synapses in the body.” (Cardiologist, Stephen T. Sinatra).

Now – if you haven’t played Part 6 of The Living Matrix about the heart’s electrical energy, the following quotes should serve as enticement to do so now. Hopefully, that will inspire you to play the whole presentation so you get up to speed about healing by Energy Medicine.

“The heart is the Emperor of the system -- and all the organs have other tasks but the heart is ruling over all." (Folker Meissner, MD)

"There is a concept in Energy Medicine called Energy Cardiology that says that the signals produced by the heart are ALL of regulatory importance. All of the cells in the body are receiving these different kinds of signals at different times because they travel at different velocities through the circulatory system.” (James L. Oschman, PhD - biophysicist, cell biologist)

"The heart generates by far the largest rhythmic electromagnetic signals in the body. If you look at the magnetic field (that surrounds the body) as a carrier wave, it’s being modulated with information - it’s the carrier wave for information. Work in our lab has shown that, clearly, it is modulated with emotional patterns. If we are feeling angry or frustrated, irritated, the information that’s being imprinted on that magnetic field is very different than if we are feeling care or love or compassion towards a person." (Rollin McCraty, PhD – Director of Research, Institute of HeartMath)

"The heart has been found to have rhythmic, beating patterns that can be coherent or incoherent . These patterns are closely related to our emotions and how we feel.” (narrator)

The Living Matrix was found online and is offered here (Resources). Viewing it in segments is helpful, because it can be overwhelming to grasp the concept when watching the entire film non-stop. And, it’s easy to repeat the individual segment for clarity.

Energy Medicine or Energy Healing is not new science. It’s been used for thousands of years. Currently, those scientists and practitioners using new Energy Healing modalities are achieving remarkable results which they explain as taking advantage of using the natural electrical impulses and fields that form the infrastructure of our entire body’s electrical conduction system to maintain energy requirements and to restore what’s missing.

In Healing is Voltage (Tennant 2010), the explanation of energy (voltage) involves tissue pH status which is really a measurement of voltage. Acidic body tissue (low pH) means low voltage. Low voltage manifests as inability to regenerate healthy tissue, increased levels of inflammation, increased free- radical damage due to lack of adequate antioxidants, increased infections, increase in auto-immune disease, increase in cancer, inability to remove toxins adequately, inability to metabolize glucose leading to diabetes, arthritis, bone loss, myofibrosis and more. The low pH/low voltage prevalence is a loss of electrons.

We lose electrons by a variety of ways
* Acidic water – typically municipal tap with purification chemicals, chlorine, fluoride, most bottled water
* Carbonated beverages
* Caffeinated beverages (soda, coffee, tea)
* Alcohol
* Foods that metabolize to an acidic ash, (meat, grains, sugar etc.)
* Cooked food
* Processed food
* Physical contact with another being…hugs transfer electrons, sick people pull electrons from the healthy
* Moving air, wind, air conditioning, fans, convertibles, hair dryers
* Toxic Frequencies: EMFs, EMRs, wireless technology exposure
* Emotions-- anger, fear, stress…Unremitting stress 24/7 produces acidic tissue and electron loss.

We can pick up (gain) electrons by a variety of methods.
* Identify electron stealers
* Making sure that what we consume as food or beverage is alkalizing spares electrons
* Hydrating well with pure water containing natural minerals
* Consuming mineral-containing food and/or supplementing with minerals
* Remediation of home, office, car of as much toxic frequency exposure as possible
* Earthing or grounding… the easiest, most economical method of replacing electrons on a daily basis
* Of interest to afibbers: Grounding increases the zeta potential or electrical force between red blood cells which enhances the ability of RBCs to repel against each other and reduce the tendency for adverse clotting. Helpful for afibbers, obviously, but also important for people with conditions that promote a tendency toward elevated blood viscosity; i.e., those with MS, diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension, Lyme disease, elevated homocysteine, cancer, polycythemia and any inflammatory condition.

Restoring electrons is the focus of Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) method of Energy Healing currently being discussed globally by anti-aging expert, Gary F. Gordon, MD, DO MD(H). He discusses the consequences of what he calls “electron deficiency” or “electron robbing” in his many webinars on this topic. New Age Healing addresses the importance of knowing the health status of our own personal electrical field and what influence it has over how long we live and how healthy we are…. starting with the heart.

My Summary Thoughts
Afib is a manifestation of a systemic electrical malfunction that some of us manage to acquire because of interruptions in our fields. Others may bypass afib and go right for cardiac arrest or another type of malfunction manifestation. Without the proper voltage to sustain a healthy electrical system, nothing else is going to work as it should… at least for very long. Sometimes symptoms are acute (heart arrhythmias). Others, symptoms can be silent, stealth-like – slowly leading eventually to debility that doctors chalk up to “part of the aging process.” The successes observed every day in the field of Energy Healing show an entirely different outcome. Drugs and surgical procedures don’t correct low voltage or low tissue pH.

I now view afib as a blessing in disguise or the “canary in the coal mine” to shape up and figure out what’s awry in the body before something REALLY serious happens. The systemic electrical disturbance is present in everyone with an adverse health condition, especially atrial fibrillation or symptoms can be silent and stealth-like.

Watch for it:
A subsequent post to this thread on my personal experiences with Energy Healing will follow shortly.
Included is a current study relating Emotional Stress, disturbed ANS and Heart Rate Variability to the potential for increased risk of arrhythmia, coronary artery spasm and sudden cardiac death that can result when we are continually in sympathetic overdrive and how replenishing electrons offers a remedy.

Jackie,

This is a truly ambitious, and potentially extremely important, project that you have undertaken; the work of Dr. Sinatra, as well as of Bruce Lipton (who I see appears in the DVD of "The Living Matrix," which you have linked to) has invariably proven to be both hard-headed and scientifically grounded, and the fact that they are one of the (many) sources that you are drawing on bodes well for this theme as you develop it.

Thanks once again for your persistence, and for putting in the enormous work that this type of thing requires---we are all once again in your debt.

Mike

Saying it like it is, Jackie! Thank you for completing, or greatly extending, what this forum has been pointing toward for over a year. It began, pretty much, with Introduction to Epigenetics and Methylation [www.afibbers.org] where 'quantum' cell biologist Bruce Lipton introduced us to the fact that "the cell membrane is a homologue of a computer chip", which led to The Strategy - What Metabolic Cardiology Means to Afibbers [www.afibbers.org], then to CR Session 72, The Potassium/Sodium Ratio in Atrial Fibrillation. Dr. Lipton said that "the quantum biological revolution is nigh", and here we are! Most of what's needed has alredy been said, so here are more quotes:.

From CR 72, p. 50: [www.afibbers.org]

Biophysicist Richard D. Moore MD, PhD: Biophysics is that realm of science that looks at the living cell as a whole system. In so doing, biophysics takes into account not only the molecules of the cell, but also electrical forces and fields, and how these are all interrelated... Our new understanding of the living cell clearly shows that all variables (such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium) are interrelated. The living cell is a multivariable system - not a machine made up of discrete parts. Although it is almost never explained in textbooks, every living cell has its own electrical system. The living cell generates the electricity to charge its battery by a mechanism called the sodium-potassium pump... If the sodium-potassium pump is slowed, after awhile the concentration of sodium and potassium inside the cell will come closer to the concentrations outside, and the membrane voltage will become much smaller.
(The High Blood Pressure Solution - A Scientifically Proven Program for Preventing Strokes and Heart Disease. 2001)

Biophysics researcher, orthopedic physician/surgeon Robert O. Becker, MD: Most biochemists and doctors aren't much closer to the "truth" about life than we were three decades ago... Mechanistic chemistry isn't adequate to understand these enigmas of life... medical biology is afflicted with a kind of tunnel vision... Erwin Chargaff, biochemist, wrote of biology: "No other science deals in its very name with a subject that it cannot define".
(The Body Electric - Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life. 1985)

Biophysicist Jens C. Skou, MD, PhD: The gradients for Na+ into and K+ out of the cell sustained by the Na/K pump represent an energy source which is used for the creation of a membrane potential... the potential reaches a value of about 70 mV, at which point the rates of the two fluxes are equal, a steady state situation.
(1997 Nobel Lecture. [nobelprize.org])

Physician, biophysics researcher Jerry Tennant, MD:
Myth: The human body is controlled primarily by chemistry.
Fact: The human body is controlled primarily by electronics (physics), not chemistry.
Modern medicine assumes the body is Newtonian. Newton's laws work for large objects, but they do not work for atoms... You will hear statements like "all disease occurs when you are acidic"; what this is really saying is that all disease occurs when your voltage is low... Thus we see that chronic disease is always defined by having low voltage.
(Healing is Voltage. 2010)

Cell biologist Bruce H. Lipton, PhD: ... even after the discoveries of quantum physics, biologists and medical students continued to be trained to view the body only as a physical machine that operates in accordance with Newtonian principles... the quantum perspective reveals that the universe is an integration of interdependent energy fields that are in a meshwork of interactions... Biomedical scientists have been particularly confounded because they often do not recognize the massive complexity of the intercommunication among the physical parts and the energy fields that make up the whole... Cellular constituents are woven into a complex web of crosstalk, feedback, and feedforward communication loops. A biological dysfunction may arise from a miscommunication among any of the routes of communication flow... The physical sciences have already embraced quantum physics with sensational results... It's been a long time coming, but the quantum biological revolution is nigh. The medical establishment will eventually be dragged, half kicking and screaming, full force into the quantum revolution.
(The Biology of Belief - Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter, and Miracles. 2011)

From The Living Matrix, part 8: [www.disclose.tv]

Arielle Essex, DO : The most important thing for people to do is take total responsibility for their health – not to think that it comes from outside themselves, or that somebody else can give it to them, and by taking total responsibility that may mean they have to start with choosing the thoughts that they think – that they are in a good state of mind, a state of mind that’s most conducive to healing.

Lynne McTaggart, author The Field: One of the fundamental things that has to change in the future of medicine is the focus on the gene as the solution to every illness. If you look at what epigeneticists are coming up with, you have an understanding that the gene is subordinate to this outside information system, and that we have to look at information, rather than the gene, as being the thing tat we have to crack (so to speak). We have to come up with information systems that regularize the things that go wrong.

Marilyn Schlitz, PhD, President of IONS:: I think there is no question that health care today on a global level is in crisis – and it’s a crisis of meaning, it’s a crisis of economics, it’s a crisis of leadership, and it’s a crisis of our model and our understanding of what promotes or facilitates healing. What we need to do is foster a revolution that shifts our model from a disease centered orientation to a healing centered orientation, and once you begin to make that move you are responsive to a variety of different factors that are supportive of our natural healing capacity.

James L. Oschman, PhD: We do things like "we have a war on cancer" -- we try to destroy invading organisms – it’s a warfare model of health and disease, and how to treat disease, and the body really doesn’t go for that. I believe that we are more powerful than we realize; I believe that many of the medical techniques that we’re finding to be very successful, people can do on themselves once they understand their own energetics.

Rupert Sheldrake, PhD: We have to learn from other cultures, from other traditions, from the observations of all the different kinds of healers that are working in our own culture at the moment; we have to take the best of modern science and use it to integrate what’s going on.

Thanks, Mike and Erling for your acknowledgement and contributions.

What’s most interesting on a level that everyone can understand and utilize is Earthing to calm the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and the connection to the heart. Since everyone seems to be on stress overload these days, Earthing or grounding is an extremely useful remedy. The shift from sympathetic tone (stress) to parasympathetic (calming) is almost immediate when you connect to the Earth. The ANS regulates functions like heart and respiration rates, digestion, perspiration, urination and even sexual arousal.

Dr. Sinatra has high praise for a brilliant research colleague, Gatean Chevalier, PhD. Their study, Emotional Stress, Heart Rate Variability, Grounding and Improved Autonomic Tone: Clinical Applications was published in Integrative Medicine last year. (link below) It’s worth scanning.

They point out that a balanced ANS supports good Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and is an indicator of heart health. When the ANS and HRV is disturbed, there is an increased risk of arrhythmias, coronary artery spasm and sudden death. HRV has become an important measurement.

In a blog on this topic, Dr. Sinatra is quoted as observing significant changes in patients who sleep Grounded.
--Blood pressures have consistently dropped.
--Snoring stopped.
--A woman with “distressing PVCs” eliminated them.
--Her husband’s atrial fibrillation stopped.

The blog article reported ….”individuals who experience anxiety, emotional stress, panic, fear, and/or symptoms of involuntary muscle contractions and spasms, including headaches, cardiac palpitations and dizziness, Earthing appears to represent a genuinely promising strategy. Positive changes are often seen within 20 – 40 minutes.”

I’ve had some personal exposure with normalizing or regulating the ANS. Last May, I began treating with a chiropractic physician who specializes in a unique treatment that monitors and adjusts spinal alignment by The Directional Non-Force Technique DNFT ® that serves to balance the ANS so sympathetic tone is not predominant.

It’s totally different than any other chiropractic I’ve ever experienced. The literature says: DNFT® improves health and relieves pain by structurally aligning the bones to remove nerve interference or compression of nerve fibers. Increased nerve function allows the body's inborn life force to express itself.

The doctor I’m seeing is one of a small group that is practicing a highly-specialized technique not widely available in the US. The purpose of the treatment is to allow the patient to function and cope with typical stressors and maintain health rather than decline because of stress-related imbalances.

I didn’t go in with any major complaint as all the previous had been mostly resolved. Rather, I was looking for a tune-up or maintenance that would allow me to enjoy my now-peaceful heart in a body that is aligned and functioning optimally in my golden years – currently age 75. I received far more than I expected.

What I’ve noticed over time, is a profound sense of calm and while I still have considerable stress, I am able to assess and cope with a situation much better. The testing or assessing program involves a hand-held scanning device that is placed on the spine and run downward from the Atlas. The results are documented in the computer program; I receive a copy of the scan images and results. She interprets. HRV is also assessed. Subsequent testing is compared to the initial assessment. The second evaluation showed improvement. . I’m due for another soon.

In addition to the calm, the minor low back pain that was almost always present when I would rise out of bed is now gone. Totally. If something gets sore or tender as a result of overdoing exercise, it resolves quickly. I was sleeping grounded prior to beginning DNFT so I assume it serves to enhance and maintain the treatments I receive. Initially, I went twice a week, then once a week, then once every other week….with the goal of treatment once a month or longer between.

I have another Energy Healing experience to share that I’ll post separately.

Jackie

Well, this is an amazing amount of information, Jackie, thank you so much for the incredible job you have done. I am still reading and processing!

Can you tell us more about the techniques/ materials you are using for Grounding?

Louise

I've been reading a few free pages from Dr. James Oschman's Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis at [www.amazon.com]. This is clearly a very important book for this discussion -- it's tempting to spend the 40+ $$, but the library might have it. The Foreword is by Candace B. Pert, Ph.D.* The first paragraph:

For a number of years before I actually had the profound pleasure of meeting Dr. Oschman, I kept hearing about him from energy therapists of many types. Here was a real scientist, a cellular biologist and physiologist with impeccable credentials who dared to associate with Rolfers, acupuncturists and other body workers in a bold search to establish the real nature underlying the science of energy medicine. Dr. Oschman’s quest was to explain and document what he had learned with clarity and scholarship in such a convincing way that old paradigm naysayers would be forced to listen and join the dialog. Now he has succeeded by providing us with a breakthrough text which maps out an elegant theory of the human body and how it is impacted upon by energy medicine. This is a theory fully compatible with classical physiological and electromagnetic principles, as well as electronics and modern physics, a theory which doesn’t need to invoke “subtle energies” or other mysterious forces which currently lack a scientific rationale.

Adding to the list of relevant quotes:

"Energy is all there is." --Einstein

"When you change your energy, over time, the body has to respond. This is enormously empowering. It flies in the face of conventional wisdom where we believe that treating illness requires something from the outside -- such as a drug or sugical procedure. Energy Healing is an inside job."
Christiane Northrup, MD
From the Forward of Energy Medicine for Women
by Donna Eden and Daniel Feinstein MD 2008


"In essence, our bodies function—for better or for worse—as dynamic electrical circuits. Cells transmit and receive energy, and each has its own range of frequency within which it operates. Healthy cells, for instance, oscillate at higher frequencies than do unhealthy cells, such as cancer cells. James Oschman, Ph.D., author of Energy Medicine in Therapeutics and Human Performance. says all “organisms (are) poised to respond to minute ‘whispers’ in the electromagnetic environment,” whether those fluctuations come from afar or near.

“The fields within the human body are inevitably affected by the larger fields of the planet and other celestial bodies,” he says. “For example, sunspots and the cycles of the moon cause changes in ionospheric currents and geophysical fields which in turn influence the fields within us.” Geomagnetic storms generated by turmoil on the sun can be so intense that they damage its satellites, power lines, telephone cables and disrupt radio communications. Not surprising, that these disturbances can and do affect physiology, creating cardiovascular problems and seizures."

Can electrons act as antioxidants? A review and commentary.
Oschman JL.

Abstract
A previous study demonstrated that connecting the human body to the earth during sleep (earthing) normalizes the daily cortisol rhythm and improves sleep. A variety of other benefits were reported, including reductions in pain and inflammation. Subsequent studies have confirmed these earlier findings and documented virtually immediate physiologic and clinical effects of grounding or earthing the body.

It is well established, though not widely known, that the surface of the earth possesses a limitless and continuously renewed supply of free or mobile electrons as a consequence of a global atmospheric electron circuit. Wearing shoes with insulating soles and/or sleeping in beds that are isolated from the electrical ground plane of the earth have disconnected most people from the earth's electrical rhythms and free electrons. The most reasonable hypothesis to explain the beneficial effects of earthing is that a direct earth connection enables both diurnal electrical rhythms and free electrons to flow from the earth to the body.

It is proposed that the earth's diurnal electrical rhythms set the biological clocks for hormones that regulate sleep and activity. It is also suggested that free electrons from the earth neutralize the positively charged free radicals that are the hallmark of chronic inflammation. A relationship between cortisol and inflammation was established in the pioneering work of H. Selye published in the 1950s. Current biomedical research has led to an inflammation hypothesis that is establishing chronic inflammation as the culprit behind almost every modern chronic illness.

The research summarized here and in subsequent reports provides a basis for a number of earthing technologies that restore and maintain natural electrical contact between the human body and the earth throughout the day and night in situations where going barefoot on the earth is impractical. It is proposed that free or mobile electrons from the earth can resolve chronic inflammation by serving as natural antioxidants

Charge transfer in the living matrix.
Oschman JL.

Abstract
The living matrix is defined as the continuous molecular fabric of the organism, consisting of fascia, the other connective tissues, extracellular matrices, integrins, cytoskeletons, nuclear matrices and DNA. The extracellular, cellular and nuclear biopolymers or ground substances constitute a body-wide reservoir of charge that can maintain electrical homeostasis and "inflammatory preparedness" throughout the organism.

Recent research has emphasized the significance of charge transfer in relation to the scavenging or neutralization of free radicals delivered to sites of injury during and after the oxidative burst. Evidence comes from studies of the role of electrons in mitigating the consequences of inflammation when living systems are connected to the earth (earthing). The phenomenon helps explain how bodywork and movement therapies can facilitate the resolution of acute or chronic injuries, and how patients with inflammatory conditions may "deplete" a therapist during hands-on treatments.

It is suggested that barefoot contact with the earth as well as hands-on and hands-off therapies facilitate healing by stimulating the migration of charges into sites of acute or chronic inflammation. One hypothesis to explain the effects of earthing is that charges from the ground substance reservoir prevent "collateral damage" to healthy tissues in the vicinity of an injury.

A second hypothesis is that earthing allows electrons to replenish charge in the ground substance reservoirs, making electrons available throughout the body.

From The Living Matrix film, part 4 [www.disclose.tv]

Cell biologist, Professor of Medicine Bruce Lipton, PhD [en.wikipedia.org]
While conventional biology focuses on the material stimuli, quantum physics reveals that it's invisible stimuli that are much more important. There's a simple quote by Albert Einstein that makes sense out of this, and the quote is, “The field is the sole governing agency of the particle”. What Einstein meant by this, very simply, is that the field -- invisible energy forces around us -- are the sole governing agencies of the particle. Well, the particle is matter, so quantum physics says that the character of matter [one's material / physical body] is ultimately determined by the field.

CR Session 72 was an attempt at showing that cardiac rhythm/ dys-rhythm is understood in terms of the electromagnetic field of energy generated by the Na/K pumps in the heart cells' outer membrane. The pumps energy is ultimately derived from the field of solar energy that envelopes the earth, its plants, and us.

'Energy' is ultimately about fields of energy, some that are measurable, and others that (so far) are not, but are nevertheless proven to exist. Again from part 4 of The Living Matrix:

Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, DSc, PhD (4 honorary), founder of IONS, author The Way of the Explorer.
I had an irregularity on a kidney that was discovered by an MRI. The physicians wanted to operate - biopsy it - and I said no, we’re not going to do that. Then I had a healer - Adam, a young man in Vancouver - he was developing his talents as a healer - he wanted to work on me. Over a period of a month we did that once a week. I went back and had a sonogram made of that a month after the diagnosis. The radiologist examined the data and said, "whatever you’re doing is doing it, that the irregularity in the kidney is smaller and disappearing". I went back three months after that, later in 2003, when the total healing period had been less than six months, and again had a sonogram, and it was totally gone -- everything was regular again -- where all of the healings I had worked with had been remote - or at a distance - and the distance, it seems, had no effect at all, which would again suggest that we're dealing with a quantum phenomenon. The healer was in Vancouver, British Columbia, and I was in Florida, the greatest distance across the United States.

I continued to experiment with different healing modes, for different things, with different people, but the mechanism is always the same -- there’s information being transferred, and there seems to be an energy transfer as well that’s palpable.

Thank you Mike and Jackie. I will wait for your post, Jackie, as I have some practical questions.

Louise

Louise - First, let me comment that the point of my mentioning my treatments for ANS balancing was to emphasize that those with ongoing stress, tend to have high sympathetic tone which is found to be conducive to promoting arrhythmia. Anything we can do to balance the ANS will be helpful not only to total body health, but will help our heart stability as well.

Regarding what I do for Earthing—

Taking the advice from Dr. Sinatra and Oram Miller seriously, I eliminated my cordless phones. I don’t use a cell phone except for an emergency. I live not far from electric power transmission lines so I’m keenly aware of the potential adverse effect.

The Earthing people say the electrons from the Earth have to enter through the soles of the feet to travel the energy paths in the body so, thanks to George N and his previous report on Earthing, I ordered the Earthing pad which I use at my feet in bed or if I’m going to be at the computer for an extended time, I use it there under my feet – socks only. No shoes. My sense is that it is very calming. I had no prior problem with falling asleep quickly and staying asleep before using the pad, but I notice that I continue to sleep very soundly for at least 8 hours without interruption.

Opinions vary about using Earthing ‘equipment’… Oram Miller (that I mentioned in the Electro-pollution post) had not experienced them. He attended a meeting with the Earthing experts and was given a grounding pad. He tried it and said he found that he slept much better so is recommending them. The Energy Healer that I consult does not endorse the grounding equipment. Says it’s not necessary.

I attended an IONS meeting last May to hear speaker, Warren Grossman, PhD, The Healer. My introduction to The Living Matrix came from him. He told the audience that we all absolutely must view The Living Matrix…which I did. That and the audience participation/healing treatments he performed motivated me to consult with him to learn more and to see what he might advise as a refinement or adjunct to my post-ablation regimen.

He does not endorse “Earthing” products and feels we need only to connect with the Earth’s surface-- Easily done, inexpensive, almost always available…Bare feet in moisture-- like walking in wet grass, walking barefoot along the water’s edge, lying or sitting on the ground, leaning on a tree, hugging a tree. The IONS meeting room was in a five-story concrete building. He said the Earth’s energy was so powerful it could be received through the concrete when he did the simple steps he demonstrated. We receive electrons through the soles of the feet and they travel throughout the body. It’s explained in his book, To Be Healed by The Earth.

Warren’s story is remarkable. Winter of ’86-87, he vacationed in Brazil; contracted a parasite that laid eggs in his liver; became deathly ill; was told by Brazilian physicians nothing could be done; he had about a week to live; die there or go home. He went home to Cleveland and the Cleveland Clinic doctors told him the same thing… prepare to die--soon. He went home to die…but didn’t. Eventually, months passed; warm weather arrived and he was able to drag himself outside to lie on the Earth. He just had the intuition that was what he needed. He spent most of his time lying on the ground. As he tells it, he has no actual recollection of time or reference to how long this went on but after about a year, he was able to walk around a bit. He basically lived outdoors and when he had to, he bundled up in a all-in-one-type snowmobile suit for warmth…rain or shine.

His book tells his remarkable story of how he became an Energy Healer as a result of his near-death experience. He now sees people’s energy and opens up blocked channels that allow the Earth’s healing electrons to flow in and create health.

I know it sounds “Star-Warzy” or “Booga Booga.” He also treats people from all over including distance healing. I had four sessions and will eventually have an evaluation to see what’s improved after practicing my instructions and grounding with the Earth. I do mine outside- weather permitting and inside on the concrete floor in the basement during inclement weather. I’ve learned to do my gardening barefoot and it’s really very neat. The Earthing people say 30 – 40 minutes of grounding produces the desired effects on the ANS. Remember that all this allows the nutrients we take in to function as they are intended to create that heart voltage that we need for NSR.

Caveat -The Earthing experts caution that you should not do Earthing in urban areas where there are many cell towers and antennas which are grounded to the Earth. If you are fortunate enough to live in more rural areas, that’s fine. Also if you live in an area where tick-borne Lyme disease is prevalent, be very cautious about walking barefoot. Those who are fortunate enough to live by the beach have the perfect place for grounding. The Grounding pads come with an outlet meter to make sure that you use an outlet that is safe. Older dwellings may not have grounded outlets so beware. Study up on this if you intend to ground yourself indoors.

Thank you, Jackie! You have answered every single question I have! As usual, I should add.

I love this discussion as a whole, but am struggling to formulate how it all works. I'm ok with the cell membrane, and I can observe there are sources of energy transmission that I can witness but can't formulate a model for. I am continuing to read and trying to muddle along.

Thanks to all. I appreciate your thoughts.

Louise

Louise... just keep reading on the topic. You won't be able to verbalize all you learn but it will become an understanding that you experience as being highly effective and very comforting as well. If your library has Warren's book,, it offers an amazing amount of insight.

Greetings, Louise and Jackie!

Dr. Warren Grossman's To Be Healed by the Earth [www.amazon.com]

Reviewer Cynthia Sue Larson writes:

Warren Grossman has written a masterpiece in TO BE HEALED BY THE EARTH. His deceptively simple book touches my heart so deeply that I find tears of love and joy spontaneously welling up in my eyes as I read it. Grossman's loving view of this world shines right through every word of this beautifully illustrated book, as he describes how to: feel and share energy with Nature, feel more Love in one's life, develop one's skills as a Healer, and do a most remarkable set of Exercises.

Grossman begins TO BE HEALED BY THE EARTH by describing how he returned home early from a vacation to Brazil in 1987 feeling desperately ill. His doctor told him a parasite had laid its eggs in his liver and he had one week left to live... and sent him home to die. Instead of dying, Grossman felt inspired to lie down on the Earth every day, which began a transformation within him. When he found himself healthy again, he noticed he was seeing light coming from all living organisms -- including in his psychotherapy patients.

I began to practice some of the exercises with some trepidation, since I have allergies and many pollens were blowing about this spring. I found much to my surprise that my allergies and asthma vanished completely as I practiced these exercises on a daily basis... and this was in the height of one of the worst allergy seasons ever!

I give this book my highest recommendation to anyone interested in improving their skills as a healer, as well as to anyone who simply wishes they had more energy, better health, and/or a more loving relationship with others in their life.

From The Living Matrix, part 5 [www.disclose.tv] Rupert Sheldrake, PhD: [www.sheldrake.org] There's a hierarchy of fields organizing our bodies ... it was this analogy with magnetic fields that led developmental biologists to suggest that there were morphogenetic fields in the first place -- this was way back in the 1920s -- this field is now a crucial concept in developmental biology, you can’t really understand how organisms develop without it. Morphogenetic fields -- or more generally fields of information ... are control systems acting about the molecular level and the biochemical level. They are systems that organize the body, they organize development of the organism -- plants have them too, all animals have them -- and, they maintain the form of the body, they help bodies to recover from disease or damage. And I think we really need a field based model of the body if we're ever going to be able to integrate the two forms of healing and medicine and understand it.

Lao Tzu: (from Tao Te Ching - 6th century BC [www.taoism.net])

The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao
The name that can be named is not the eternal name
The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth
The named is the mother of myriad things

Derek Lin interprets:

The Tao ... is the universal principle that permeates every action and every phenomenon, but it cannot be adequately understood through the rational mind. To comprehend it completely, you must exercise your intuition and get in touch with the fundamental divinity that connects everyone.

Our tendencies to categorize, define and analyze only give us the limited understanding of how the Tao acts upon the material world. This is exactly what happens when we study physics, biology, chemistry, and other natural sciences.

On the other hand, if we free ourselves of this limiting human desire to put everything into words, and become aware of our wordless communion with nature, we can catch glimpses of a divine wisdom. Beyond categories, definitions, and analyses, it is wisdom far more profound than anything that academic knowledge, science and technology can offer.

Erling - thanks for posting that review... the book is definitely "deceptively simplistic"....I've read it numerous times and still learn more each time. To experience Warren in person, is indescribable.

Erling,

Can I just say how much I love that you are quoting Lao Tzu on this Forum?

In addition to easily adding those healing and anti-aging electrons by Earthing or grounding techniques along with taking supplemental mineral and antioxidants, another very easy but extremely beneficial method is the regular consumption of the magnesium bicarbonate water that we can easily make ourselves at home very inexpensively. Initially, we called it Waller Water or WW so if you search for previous posts, check for that name. It was inspired by Australian Unique Water.

With WW, not only do we receive benefits of the magnesium, but also the buffering property from the bicarbonate portion which spares pulling calcium as a buffer. This alkalizing helps maintain the voltage needed to maintain NSR because it is directly reflected in pH. Referring back to section on Dr. Tennant’s observations on pH and voltage:

In Healing is Voltage (Tennant 2010), the explanation of energy (voltage) involves tissue pH status which is really a measurement of voltage. Acidic body tissue (low pH) means low voltage. Low voltage manifests as inability to regenerate healthy tissue, increased levels of inflammation, increased free- radical damage due to lack of adequate antioxidants, increased infections, increase in auto-immune disease, increase in cancer, inability to remove toxins adequately, inability to metabolize glucose leading to diabetes, arthritis, bone loss, myofibrosis and more. The low pH/low voltage prevalence is a loss of electrons.

Nothing could be easier (or more healthy) than having a continual supply of Magnesium/Bicarbonate water on hand for daily consumption.

Just don’t consume it with meals because you want as much full strength stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) available to breakdown foods efficiently and quickly.

Non Pharmaceutical Health Care is an academic research group based in Australia. Following are a few clips of many important points that relate to this topic at this website.

"It is the view of Non Pharmaceutical Health Care that the appropriate consumption of water, which contains magnesium bicarbonate at an alkaline (non-acidic) pH value, helps to minimise the damaging effects of excess carbon dioxide and acid concentrations in the body and hence helps one to maintain a healthy and energetic life. Accordingly, Non Pharmaceutical Health Care actively promotes the consumption of Unique Water - a water containing magnesium bicarbonate at an alkaline pH value (see the Unique Water - Too good to be true - link).

It is our hypothesis that there is overwhelming scientific, medical and empirical evidence THAT ……
it is possible to slow the ageing process, to assist the prevention of the onset of degenerative diseases and to extend your lifespan if you avoid the damaging effects of excess acid and carbon dioxide in your body. "

Erling - In Garry Gordon's PEMF seminars he uses the term, Bioelectrochemistry.

The Body Electric: Understanding the Role of Endogenous Electric Fields in Development, Regeneration and Cancer and Utilizing Electric Fields to Treat Diseases

NOTHING happens in the body without an electromagnetic exchange!

This all relates to what you presented in CR 72.

Yes!! Louise, isn't that wonderful? I felt sure you'd enjoy it just as I do. Going back a few thousand years to the wisdom of Lao Tzu might help bring the Forum into the 'quantum biological revolution', since the Tao is the quantum 'matrix' of the universe. The Living Matrix film looks at some of the Ten Thousand Things made manifest by the quantum Tao, showing that invisible fields of information underlie Energy Healing.

Hippocrates' "Let thy food be thy medicine" is basic 'energy medicine', as is CR Session 72 The Potassium/Sodium Ratio in Atrial Fibrillation [www.afibbers.org], by showing the central role of potassium / sodium and other nutrients in generating the body's dominant electromagnetic information field via the heart's myriad Na/K pumps: “The heart is The Emperor of the system ...” (Folker Meissner, MD:The Living Matrix, pt. 6: [www.disclose.tv])

Best wishes!

Erling.

What is the 6th century BC Lao Tzu and the Tao Te Ching doing in a discussion about energy medicine? This will explain: Quantum Theory [www.thebigview.com]

Quote:

Can we derive any new knowledge about the universe from quantum physics? After all, the entire universe is composed of an unimaginable large amount of matter and energy. It seems to be of great importance to understand quantum theory properly in view of the large-scale structure of the cosmos. For example, an interesting question in this context is why the observable matter in the universe is packed together in galaxies and is not evenly distributed throughout space. Could it have to do with the quantum characteristics of energy? Are quantum effects responsible for matter forming discrete entities, instead of spreading out evenly during the birth of the universe? The answer to this question is still being debated.

If cosmological conclusions seem laboured, we might be able to derive philosophical insights from quantum physics. At least Fritjof Capra thinks this is possible when he describes the parallels between modern physics and ancient Eastern philosophy in his book The Tao of Physics. He holds that in a way, the essence of modern physics is comparable to the teachings of the ancient Eastern philosophies, such as the Chinese Tao Te Ching, the Indian Upanishads, or the Buddhist Sutras. Eastern philosophies agree in the point that ultimate reality is indescribable and unapproachable, not only in terms of common language, but also in the language of mathematics. That is, science and mathematics must fail at some stage in describing ultimate reality. We see this exemplified in the Uncertainty Principle, which is elucidated in the following section.

I have just had a powerful and very negative experience in my first introduction to Earthing.

First of all, both my wife and I have long wondered if we live in a sick house. We go away on a holdiay and feel better and invariably when we get home progressively feel worse. The house is a duplex in an old coal mining town and I know for a fact we have detectible levels of radon which probably has nothing to do with this. We have wireless, and I am sure our neighbors have wireless internet and of course the endless plethora of other constantly plugged in electrical gadgets. Hydro electric energy is generated less than 1/2k from my house and the electrical lines to the house are overhead.

We just purchased an earthing foot pad and bed sheet and I used it for the first time last night. I sat up late (until about 11) reading with my feet on the pad. Gradually I noticed my heart activity begin to increase - hard for me to understand if they were ectopics, more of a rattled, disturbed beat. It increased until I was in full afib. I took some extra potassium and went to bed with the new earthing bed sheet on, but with pj's and socks so there was probably no conductivity. I fell asleep right away which is also unusual when in afib, and woke up less than 1 1/2 hours later in NSR, which is also unusual to convert so quickly.

Today I sat in the lazy boy with my feet on the earthing pad to read for a while. I noticed an increase in the same feelings after no more than 10 minutes. I took my feet off and the feelings subsided. I put my feet back on the pad for a few minutes and they increased. Off the pad and they decreased. On the pad for longer and I am now in afib. Wierd

What is this??? Is it possible that by grounding I was channelling additional EMF through my body?? Yikes?
