What common mistakes undermine grounding benefits?

Common grounding mistakes severely limit potential benefits and create safety hazards. Electrical hazards are the most prominent when indoor mats are misused during inclement weather. Not making outlet checks results in faulty wiring, which can not only result in hazardous conditions but also allow currents to be lost. Most fabrics used to create mats out of synthetic materials are insulators, which prevent the needed transfer of electrons to and from the ground and/or your body and other underlying grounding surfaces.

Realistic expectations prevent early dropout from practice. Physiologic changes require sessions over weeks. Reduction of inflammation requires 3-4 weeks of practice daily. Improvements in sleep take place slowly after 4-6 weeks. Keeping a record of progress can help maintain motivation in the early stages.

Integrating a feedback-reduction mechanism incurs maximum benefits. Establish a pre-exercise checklist for plug testing and surface checking. Maintain a grounding logbook recording of exercises used and results obtained. Schedule quarterly safety reviews of equipment and protocols used. Incorporating such procedures will change grounding into a more reliable method of attaining wellness.
