The wall outlet has three connection points, and one of them is the “ground” (or called “earth” in the UK).
That ground connection is connected directly to the ground. In the US there is an eight foot long rod or equivalent driven into the ground. So if that’s the only wire hooked to the blanket, it would be grounding, and no electricity would be involved.
(Also the joke about aluminum foil hat was partly serious; aluminum foil shields one from high frequency electromagnetics.
Our use of the word “grounding” to refer to k energy management must be borrowed from the use of the term in electrical engineering.
Hi Carson
Just my 2 kroner:
If you can get your boss to supply a handsfree it is worth trying.
And: The energy needs somewhere to go…energy is always like that. It has to go somewhere. When I went through this my credit cards would not work if I handled them…always having to ask the cashier to pull the card, my computer would turn itself on by itself, and lightbulbs would crash upon entering a room …everything was always going up and out.
Eventually things started to go down too…and once the energy could stream out of my feet and into the ground the “problems” stopped.
It might not work for you, but if you have these essential oils:
Frankincense
Sandal Tree
then try applying a drop or two on your wrists, ankles and soles and behind your knees. They are very grounding.
Hope this fase passes soon 
Sorry to resurrect a dead thread but if anyone is still having this issue. I highly recommend placing your thumb on the base of your little finger while stimulating your chakras. This will ground the excess energy. You might feel an immediate rush if you a highly charged.
