Been studying alot on electricity and working on computers and grounding static electricity.
Static electricity is a resting energy on the body that moves towards a ground.
It reminds me of something my chinese doctor use to say when peoples energy 'rubs off of you.' A individual or group energy can influence you so you should ground and discharge the bad chi. For example, you massage a person, their bad energy can affect your own energy. So the recommendation is to ground yourself with something that is grounded (metal pole in ground, sink pipe, metallic objects) and transfer that 'sick' energy off of you so it doesnt 'stick' to your energy.
The doctor explained something about patient energy in all sizes. thats why she seperated doing group accupunture between chinese groups and american groups of people because the energies as a whole were treated completely different.
an extreme case of being stuck in a groups energy is very often seen in like being stuck in a group mind like a cult group, people eventually lose their individuality and become followers without their own consciousness to rely on.
Just wanted to say that be sure to discharge by grounding yourself, bad chi energy can collect on you rub off of you. I was wondering if any of your teachers/doctors have mentioned anything about grounding your chi energy?
