It’s also quite possible. I try hard to not get *too* much into the electrical side of grounding as I could _very_ easily find myself in the Earthing movement.
Not that there’s anything wrong with Earthing but I’ve seen some things people will do involving direct contact of a particular mucus membrane with the soils in the earth. [think: dog butt scoot, without the scoot.. or the dog].
But yes, I think discharge of excess ionization (positive? negative? I dunno) of the body isn’t served _quite_ as properly with solely having contact with air, and our feet insulated by rubber or plastic.
In short, I’m sure there’s some truth to nerve balance/neurological balance and electrical grounding and it’s definitely a plausible explanation for why I have that ‘need’ to touch ground of some kind. There’s a lot of Eastern (and western versions of Eastern traditions) that likely have some strong scientific truths in them yet underexplored, like Reiki and such.
But honestly, when it comes to the electron level of things, I rather wish for the ability to turn OFF the Paul Exclusion Principle at will… and let those damn electrons pass THROUGH each other (not just _past_ each other, with their sticky flipping charges and stuff and fancy 720 degree entangled orientations and stuff) so I could pass through solid matter at will. Then again, if it got turned off WITHOUT my readiness… I’d go through this chair, through the concrete floor, the soil, miles of whatever ’till I end up at Earth’s core… so perhaps its a switch best left turned in the ON position.

STUFF YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW DEPT:
I walk barefoot whenever possible.
I ‘need’ a connection to the ground and don’t like car or plane travel. I do it of course. I wear shoes. I like shoes. But I’m never as happy as I am when my feet are touching the ground.
It’s like I can “feel” gravity.. and I’m always aware that the pauli exclusion principle is what’s keeping me from reaching the center of the earth… so I’m grateful for it – that it keeps working.. and grateful for gravity (or centrifugal forces – whatever) to keep me from flying off into space.
I try not to take things for granted. It’s good to be here.
