Computers Drain Your Energy and Happiness

There is another major reason to get away from computers out side of porn and inactivity: They physically suck your energy out of you over time.
I recently found a book called Energy Medicine by Donna Eden. It goes over the various systems of energy within our body. I dove into the book and discovered that everything around us affects our energy in some way.
“Your body is designed to heal itself. The ability of a body to maintain its health and overcome illness is, in fact, among nature’s most remarkable feats. But you’ve been placed in a world that systematically interferes with this natural capacity, and your conscious involvement in your health is required if you are to truly prosper.
The electromagnetic and more subtle energies give your body life. They are your body’s fuel and its atmosphere. Your own energy systems, such as your meridians (your body’s energy pathways) and chakras (your body’s energy centers), emit electromagnetic energy and light.
While our culture does little to help us look more closely, energy really is all there is. Even matter, as Einstein’s elegant formula shows, is congealed energy.” -Donna Eden, Energy Medicine
This book is truly mind blowing. After reading it, I realized that I had neglected my energy system by having a huge, power hungry computer in my room and leaving it on most of the day. I decided to remove the computer and instead use a laptop.
Once I removed the larger computer, I could feel my energy system rebuilding itself and my health steadily improving.
I later found out the scientific reasons behind this occurrence: Computers release positive ions. All the air around us has molecules which are either positively charged or negatively charged. Computers, cell-phones, and other machines release positive ions, while things in nature, such as plants and the ocean, release negative ions.
Positive ions bind with negative ions in our body which then depletes our energy, lowers our immune system, and makes us feel anxious or depressed. Positive ions have even been linked to heart attacks, asthma, insomnia, migraines, arthritis, and more. Also, most air-borne allergens and pollutants also have a positive charge.
Balancing Your Environment with Negative Ions
To counterbalance the damaging effects of positive ions from computers, we have to increase the negative ions in our environment.
Negative ions bring oxygen to your brain, boost your immune system, improve your happiness, aid in sleeping, and cleanse the air of parasites, pollutants, and EMF radiation.
Here are two powerful ways that I’ve found to increase negative ions:
1) Growing wheatgrass in your room or office
2) Placing a salt lamp in your home or office
Wheatgrass
Wheatgrass is an excellent way to purify the air by releasing negative ions naturally. It has cured many insomniacs by itself.
“As a sleep aid, merely place a tray of living wheatgrass near the head of your bed. It will enhance the oxygen in the air and generate healthful negative ions to help you sleep more soundly. I have seen remarkable results when insomniacs have placed just one or two trays of wheatgrass by the bedside.” -Anne Wigmore, The Wheatgrass Book
You also get the added benefits of detoxification and rejuvenation of your blood if you juice it. Better blood means stronger health and better erections.
When growing wheatgrass, the most important part is the selection of seeds. If you choose a distributor that has bad seeds, you will get mold and the wheatgrass will smell bad and attract flies. It’s even better if you can find a local source.
The company that I buy seeds from has high quality, certified organic seeds.
Himalayan Salt Lamps
Salt lamps are big salt rocks that have a hole drilled inside where a small light bulb or candle is placed. The light glows through the rock and causes moisture in the air to bind with the salt surface and release negative ions.
After replacing the large desktop computer in my room with a small laptop, I added a Himalayan salt lamp.
After a day of sleeping in my room, I felt a subtle sense of calmness and less stress. Over time that electronic-icky feeling of being around computers all day has completely gone away.
