“The safest place to be during an earthquake would be in a stationary store.”
~ George Carlin, Brain Droppings
In Australia we’ve had a string of small earthquakes in the past few days. Seismic activity like this can be very unsettling for energetically sensitive people.
In the days before an earthquake, volcanic eruption or other shift in the earth’s crust, positive ions build up beneath the surface and start leaking through fissures, making their way to the surface. Vast electrical currents travel through the liquids and rocks beneath our feet, generating more and more of these positive ions. Before an extreme seismic event it is thought that the flood of positive ions into the atmosphere is what warns animals to move to safer ground before an earthquake, eruption or tsunami.
Positive ions in the air can have a profound negative affect on all animals, including humans. They disturb sleep patterns, raising serotonin levels and disturbing hormones and normal brain function. They cause agitation, hyperactivity, restlessness, irritability and mental confusion. They generate feelings of fatigue that is not restored by normal sleep, and they can lower the immunity.
Usually, to ground or earth ourselves, we can simply stand barefoot on the earth. The earth’s crust normally holds a negative charge and infuses our body with negative ions which reduce inflammation within our bodies and restore sleep cycles. But when the earth is undergoing seismic activity or solar flares the surface becomes momentarily positive. We can’t ground, and we feel this disconnection as a disturbing energetic build-up inside us.
In the meantime, until the earth’s energy stabilises again, there are things we can do to help ourselves become re-grounded:
- Drink water with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda and 1 teaspoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar – this will neutralise the static electricity in you. Don’t have more than 2 doses of this in a day.
- Hold or carry a red jasper or a black tourmaline – or both if you have them
- Make a grid of 4 stones for your bed – use hematite, carnelian or any jasper. No quartz! Activate with red light. Don’t know how? Go here – How to Build a Crystal Grid
- Rub Sesame Oil onto the soles of your feet
- Use Lavender oil for calming your limbic system – inhale or rub on soles of feet.

Amazing. I sent my husband out to buy an air ioniser on Saturday, not being entirely sure why. Haven’t had it off since. Let’s hope it does the trick. Thanks Nicole for the explanation. Very much appreciated.
That explains a lot. Thank you. Do you think the earthing sheets on the bed will still work? I will pull that out too if you think it will. Thomas (the dog) has been sleeping on his a lot at the moment whereas he normally doesnt so I think maybe it does still work…
Well that explains my inability to fall asleep before 2am the past few night. *Yawn*
Hope it settles down for you soon xx
Thanks nicole and sokli! hugs sx
Love to you from us xx
I knew none of this and found it all very interesting
Let’s hope that where you are, you never need to use it!
Perfect. Thank you Nicole. This latest upheaval coming so soon and unexpectedly after my time in Nepal really threw me. I’ve been glittery and on edge and not able to shift it. I’m on to your solutions now. Thanks again.
I’ll bet you have been. Hope you’re feeling better fast. Much love xx
I am feeling much better thank you Nicole. The sesame oil really works. It’s so potent for me. Helps to have crystals as bed buddies too.
