Copper as the equivalent of earth energy – a scientific, biological and energetic explanation
Ground energy conductivity
Copper is considered one of the best natural electrical conductors – second only to silver. But unlike silver, it conducts energy deeply and stably, which is why it is used in grounding, grounding, and absorbing energy from the earth. The grounding system of houses will always be made using copper – it is the most direct connection between a material and the earth.
Color and Oxidation – The Language of the Earth
Pure copper is reddish-gold in color, but it oxidizes when exposed to air and moisture, developing a greenish patina (like the Dome of the Peace in Jerusalem). This process is an expression of “graceful aging,” similar to soil that changes color, texture, and life according to climatic conditions. Copper has a natural life cycle, like soil that is cultivated and renewed.
Thermoregulation and energetic digestion
Copper helps regulate heat in the body and in electrical panels. In the human body, it participates in energy production processes, cellular respiration, and the digestion of other metals. Thus, similar to the soil that processes, decomposes, and absorbs materials, copper also acts as an energy “digestor” – dissipating excess and converting it into usable forms.
Biological properties: Stabilizing and strengthening
Copper participates in the formation of collagen, red blood cells and bone strengthening – all of these are “earthly”, physical elements, structures that provide stability to the body. It is not concerned with subtle or high processes – but with building, construction, grounding. Just like earth – an element that builds, supports and carries life.
Grounding energy and emotional healing
In Chinese and energetic medicine, copper is associated with the base chakra, the energy of the earth, and the ability to be rooted – physically and emotionally. It helps a person “get down to earth”, connect with the body, the root, and the daily work of life. Just as earth stabilizes the plant, copper balances a person in situations of lack of grounding, anxiety, or mental wandering.
Summary
Copper is the earth in a metallic body – conducting, absorbing, balancing, and connecting worlds.
It helps a person stand firm, digest life, build themselves, and connect to the root – just as the earth does for all living things.
