Robert Kiyosaki gives some good advice.

“Face your fears and doubts, and new worlds will open to you.”

Earthing Superpowers Like Mario

Before we get into today’s blog “Earthing Superpowers” and how together we can create the superpowers we need to save lives. I want to share a personal story.

I have a confession to make…

Earlier this year I found myself in the Southern Ocean at 45deg Lattitude barrelling along at 20-30 knots on a 70 foot (23m) surfboard otherwise known as a sailboat called Black Betty in 45kts winds and 10-12m swells. In those conditions, it’s all one can do, but to think about the here and immediate ‘now’. But, outside the times of sheer panic, and during the time of reflection, the thoughts of superpowers surfaces.

Not Only Earthing Studies. Other things you never realised YOU could do!

Earthingg Studies done, but what else?

We’ve written previously about why we use CDEGS HIFREQ and (X)GSA_FD for earthing studies. Also, the reasons to invest in the top 1% of tools, knowledge and consultants. But once you’ve invested in building the model to understand what earthing is required, what are the other things you can do with this model. Additionally, answer other questions you might have?
