Rice
Rice is an interesting thing; with a number of claims surrounding it.
*Rice is said to transmute negative energy into positive energy.
*Rice is said to keep stones cleansed, and prevent errant energy from entering them
*Rice is said to both ground, and energize a person whom submerges part of themselves (feet, hands, full body, etc)
Obviously, the full body thing would take a LOT. A simple wooden, or plastic box with dry rice (Take your pick, there are dozens of kinds available) can be a nice way to unwind at the end of a long day. Something large enough for your feet to fit into comfortably. (I recommend socks.. Prevents some of the messy cleanup) The more contact, the faster it seems to work. (Just a bit under your feet versus being ankle deep..) It is very relaxing.
Just something i thought i'd share. Simple, easy and useful. I do recommend a lid, however. For when you aren't using it... And please, don't eat it later... o_0

In my classroom of toddlers I had a very large shallow rubbermaid container that I filled with rice to play in. I would throw so many different themed toys in there, silverwear, dinosaurs, cars, farm animals, etc. There would always be that one child that would just sit quietly picking up heaping handfuls of the rice, and letting it fall through those sweet chubby little fingers, staring into their own hands, nobody else existed for them at that moment. It feels so nice, I have to say while they played, I would run my hands through the rice because it was so calming.
I'd bet steel to iron that child is gifted... *shrugs* Just playing the odds, if (s)he totally ignored the toys, and everyone else, it was probably because the flow of energy was felt or the child could actually See the flow, which would be kinda trippy... ^.^
But i am glad you've already sort of had an experience with it... I keep a small (Feet sized) bin under my computer desk with some hematite in it (Additional grounding)
It helps protect my computer from me.. (I get moody with my internet connection..) Hehe..
Small rectangular rice pillows feel nice laid on your forehead when you have a headache... can also add soothing herbs to the mix. :)
A rice table for kids... how awesome!
very interesting. I'll try this
