Grounding & The Earth’s Electric Field Illustration

Did you know there’s a 100-volt-per-meter electric field rising off the Earth’s surface, even in clear weather?

If you're barefoot or grounded, your body stays in sync with the Earth: slightly negative, near 0 volts. But if you’re wearing synthetic shoes or standing on modern flooring, your body becomes electrically insulated, and starts acting like an antenna.

Voltage builds across your body, from your feet to your head.
Internal signals can be disrupted.
You store charge instead of releasing it.

Here’s a visual that shows the difference clearly—between a grounded body and one floating in the field. It’s simple, accurate, and worth sharing.

Grounding isn't a trend, it's your body’s default electrical state.
