Last weekend beginning Friday night I made sure I slept with just the mattress on the floor of 1 story house… grounded. I slept very very well. In fact I wanted more sleep Saturday morning and Sunday morning. Just in time for healing maybe a small bone crack in my stubbed right toe. It felt like deep healing resting sleep. I felt so amazingly rested I tested this same grounding experiment with my 9 year old boy.
My 9 year old boy is small. He’s the first born, usually the first borns are smaller. My 7 year old boy is already heftier than my first born. As a coincidence, with our sleeping arrangements, our 2 younger children sleep in the mattress on the floor, while our eldest child sleeps on the elevated bed. Maybe our first born being unfortunate to always sleep on the elevated bed is not grounded and has so for years. Is that what is keeping him from growing faster and heftier?
Last night we started the grounding experiment. I had my boy sleep on the mattress on the floor for a change. Just before falling asleep he said that mattress made him feel sleepier than usual. And when he woke up he told me he slept really well. Ha ha. Maybe I was suggestive and my boy lapped it up.
The real key is consistency. So let’s see as the weeks go on if sleeping grounded will make a big difference in my boy’s health.
If you have pain or have health problems, grounding really works while at work or at sleep. Every little bit helps when you are sick and all those little bits add up. I think grounding is a big deal. That’s why I encourage children to walk around barefoot. I even remember my teacher Barefoot Herbalist MH give a lesson that some really sick people were told by their healer to dig a hole in the ground and sleep in it.
