How to ground yourself?

Be like a tree with your feet firmly grounded in Mother Earth and branches soaring to the sky.

 10 Grounding Techniques

 One of the easiest and most effective ways to balance physical and spiritual energies is a technique known as “grounding and centering.”  It helps when you are feeling spacey, ungrounded, getting static charge when touching metal and other objects, or when you are not feeling fully present in your body or in the Now. Grounding puts you in touch with your personal power, connecting your mental and spiritual bodies.

It is important to ground yourself regularly so you feel connected, healthy and balanced. With modern living, we are always wearing shoes and stay indoors. We have lost out connections with Nature. Grounding links you to the healing energy of the Earth, bringing stability, calm, and awareness of the physical body and the world around you.

Just as electrical appliances needs to be grounded to protect against shocks, shorts, and interference, in the same way excess energy needs to flow out of our body. With grounding, you will feel calmer, relaxed and healthier as there will be no stagnant energy. When energy flows freely in the body, there wont be any blockages and you will sleep better and feel less pain and stress.

 

 Techniques to ground yourself:

 1. Visualise roots coming from your feet and anchoring solidly into mother earth.
