We’re surrounded by electromagnetic frequencies. Some of these are natural and generally healthy—for instance, the magnetic resonance of the earth (known as the Schumann Resonance) and the electromagnetic fields associated with our human body.
But manmade EMFs—particularly from our various WiFi devices and the AC electrical grid of our homes—create an invisible EMF smog that can have damaging effects upon the human body-mind.
In this essay, you’ll learn the difference between helpful and potentially harmful EMFs—as well as tips for protecting yourself from those that may be damaging to your health and well-being.
THE VIBRATORY NATURE OF REALITY
If you’ve practiced yoga, qigong, or a martial art, you’re probably familiar with Qi (aka Chi)—the subtle life force that is experienced as a vibration or flowing energy within the body. This subtle energy is also referred to as Prana or Shakti (in India) or as Ki (in Japan).
We can also think of Qi as being the vibratory nature of all phenomena: the subtle tremoring that—as physicists have now confirmed—is happening continuously at molecular, atomic, and subatomic levels. Though things may appear to be solid, at a deeper level they are vibrating.
Because the human body as well as its surrounding environment are continuously vibrating, the body’s electromagnetic fields resonate with surrounding electromagnetic fields. And this can be a good thing—or a not-so-good thing.
THE UPSIDE OF RESONANCE
The biggest upside of resonance is how the human body resonates with the Earth’s electromagnetic field. In fact, our bodies depend crucially upon the information transmitted by the earth’s resonant fields—for the health of its nervous and endocrine systems, in particular.
So maintaining a clear connection to the earth’s electromagnetic field—via this natural resonance—is really important!
Another upside of resonance is how we can be positively affected by harmonious and energetically potent people, places or things: a spiritual teacher, a powerful mountain, or a beautiful work of art or music. When we attune to an inspiring teacher—when we resonate with them—we somehow share in their beneficially coherent frequency.
Spending time in the natural world often has a similar effect. Why do yogis and meditators go off to mountain huts? Part of the reason is for the silence and solitude, which support deep introspection.
But an equally important reason is that when we’re miles away from a large city, ensconced in an off-grid mountain hut, our nervous system naturally reestablishes a clear resonance with the earth’s electromagnetic field—which is deeply calming and healing.
THE DOWNSIDE OF RESONANCE
“As the use of electronics has become more and more integrated into our lives, we’re left wondering: how will humans react when exposed to ever-increasing levels of electromagnetic fields (EMFs)?…”
The downside of our body’s capacity to resonate with outside electromagnetic fields is that it can be negatively as well as positively affected.
Manmade EMFs, for instance, create something akin to an electrical fence that disrupts the human body’s resonance with the earth’s electromagnetic field.
With this connection disrupted, the information necessary for the health of our nervous and endocrine systems doesn’t get through. Instead of resonating with the earth, our body begins to resonate with our cell phone, laptop, or refrigerator!
Manmade EMFs can also have a disruptive effect on the acupuncture meridian system: our body’s electrically-based healing mechanism.
The manmade EMF smog generated by our WiFi devices along with the AC-grid electrical appliances of our homes sets the stage for a variety of physical, mental, and emotional maladies. Conditions that have been linked to the disruptive effects of such manmade EMFs include: asthma, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, attention-deficit disorder (ADD & ADHD), diabetes, cancer, electro-sensitivity, fibromyalgia, headaches/migraines, and high blood pressure.
PROTECTION FROM MANMADE EMFS

The good news is that there are ways of protecting ourselves from the negative effects of manmade EMFs. A good place to start is getting into the habit of turning all WiFi devices completely off at night—so that the body can go through its “rest and repair” cycle with as little interference as possible.
Another excellent strategy is to invest in high-quality EMF protection devices. These come in many forms, e.g. bracelets or necklaces worn directly on the body; devices affixed to your phones or laptops; and even devices that can be plugged directly into an AC outlet in your home.
EarthCalm is one example of a company that employs state-of-the-art technology to create EMF protection devices designed specifically to reestablish the body’s resonance with the earth’s electromagnetic field. EarthCalm Wearable Protection Products utilize scalar technology to neutralize the negative effects of manmade EMFs and allow the nervous system to function optimally.
What’s great about devices such as these is that they make it possible for us to use our various WiFi devices, and the appliances connected to our AC grid—without all the negative side-effects generally associated with them.
So now, just to highlight the main points we’ve touched on …
TIPS FOR STAYING HEALTHY AMIDST MANMADE EMF SMOG:
→ Turn all WiFi devices completely off at night.
→ Diet: turmeric is one of the spices that have been shown to protect against EMF radiation
→ Drink green tea regularly
→ Invest in high-quality EMF protection, such as that offered via EarthCalm.
→ Spend time vacationing or on retreat in natural settings away from large cities, to give your nervous system a break from manmade EMF smog.
→ Maintain a yoga, qigong, and/or meditation practice—which supports the body’s electromagnetic coherence.
