Earthing Play
Just before Covid Hit we installed a new kind of floor, we call it Earthing Play. This floor is very special and just what Mother Earth ordered for your pets.
Greetings fellow pet parents! We want to thank you for exploring a little further about what we do here at Wags 2 Whiskers. With love, intention, and gratitude, we plan on taking you with us on this journey. Join us as we discover new possibilities for serving, treating, training and even healing your pets. We are aware of your constant search for better pet care.
Let’s start by talking about Earthing.
Or rather can I just show you a really cool video?…Enjoy!
Next, Dr. Karen Becker teaches use the importance of grounding our pets.
Carolina and I (Dillion) have known about grounding, AKA earthing, for about 5 years now. We immediately understood, and more importantly, felt the benefits of earthing when we stepped bare foot onto an earthing mat at an RV roadshow in 2014. The information from the gentleman flooded us with overwhelming insights into the health benefits we had been depriving ourselves from by just wearing shoes. It was too much to absorb, we were just trying to find our favorite looking RV to daydream in (Airstream FYI).
On the ride home we found an awesome documentary called The Grounded, it’s about a community in Alaska that used simple equipment to connect individuals back to the earth and heal from pain. I’m not kidding about simple equipment btw, this guy literally handed individuals a brown paper bag with wires in it. These locals suffering from pain would drive what appeared to be a 10 inch rod into the ground or plug into the grounded portion of an electrical outlet, run a 14 or 16 gauge copper wire to their body and sleep. That’s it. Some would dig holes and lay directly in the dirt and of course there were other experiments. Watch the documentary.
SOOOoooo much has happened since that day. We started exploring new ways to ground and one day it downed on me, I think I can make a new floor for the dogs using ESD (Electric Static Dissipative) flooring and you know what? It worked. Now there’s a lil fine tuning involved, like Conductive vs Static Dissipative and you can learn all about that here from the President at StaticWorx David Long. David doesn’t know it, but for the past 4 years he has been my guru when it came to ESD tech. He loves what he does and pack his videos when TONS of useful information. Thank you David! These dogs don’;t know how good they have it because of your good work. (Video Below)
Once I had a good understanding that I would be able to accomplish this floor I wanted to start really digging into Earthing. The benefits, the science, the LOVE!!!!
A lil disclaimer if you will. I am not an inventor nor am I trying to intentionally infringe on patents or claims. I am simple stating that I freely took parts and pieces of flooring, adhesive, copper wire and rod and since 2019 have been making these floors resemble a similar Ohms resistance of the earths surface. Between 80k and 35 million. We successfully accomplished this both on a single floor and 2nd story floor at the end of 2019 you can see me and Carolina working on that in the pictures above, she’s such a strong woman. I Love her.
