Grounding is a practice. And there is no right or wrong way to feel or become more grounded and anchored into oneself~ ultimately grounding is that feeling and sense of connection… to YOU as a Whole, in the Now.
Mentally, Emotionally, and connection Physically- the physical body which is the home to our Soul, but grounding also relates to our physical home~ Mother Earth.
Here are some of the ways I practice grounding, keeping in mind that intention is everything… and I hope they may help support you too.
***
- Sitting in the Sunshine & Smiling at the Sun (gratitude!)
- Getting out into Nature (walks in the park, the beach, hiking, forest bathing, etc)
- Bare feet on the ground (on the grass, the sand, the dirt, etc)
- Gardening, or tending to your plant babies
- Breath work (becoming present with each breath, not thinking about the busy-ness of life), i.e. Box Breath 4 counts inhale -4 counts hold -4 counts exhale -4 counts rest
- 5,4,3,2,1 - returning to the senses in tuning in
- 5 things you see
- 4 things you hear
- 3 things you can touch
- 2 things you smell
- 1 thing you taste
- Creating ~ focusing on creating using the hands or tactile functions, i.e. pottery, colouring, painting, listening to music, the arts, or even playing with children’s toys~ i.e. legos, playdoh, etc.
- Grounding through foods: ie. Root Vegetables, Green Juices, Cacao (Animal flesh btw is an extremely grounding food however it is also resonate with death energy, literally)
- If you have pets~ sitting, petting, cuddling with them as animal medicine
- Water Therapy - a shower to wash away stress/anxiety/energetic restlessness as ritual of cleansing and shedding, similar to an epsom salt bath to cleanse and recharge, revitalize
