Grounding is the process of connecting your physical self with the Earth.
It is one of the simplest things you can do, and the first thing we recommend when beginning your journey into wellness and happiness.
Aside from all the health benefits depending on your choice of grounding, it has an array of spiritual perks like bringing mental clarity, peace and most importantly, creating an anchor for spiritual growth.
TOP 3 WAYS TO GET GROUNDED
BAREFOOT - Get back into nature. Walk on the grass, or in the sand, go for a swim! Feel the slight buzzing in the soles of your feet re-energising you from the bottom up.
VISUALISATION - Almost like a self guided meditation (note: more on this later on), this technique can be used anywhere, at any time, and it’s a great tool to have in your own toolkit. We have included a guided visualisation on the next page.
SALT BATH - If you can’t get to the ocean, bring the ocean to you! Have a bath or footsoak using mineral salts like himalayan, dead sea, epsom salts, or any salt that is local to your area.
Signs that you need to ground yourself may be:
-Mental fuzz.
-Lacking energy and fatigue.
-Feeling of being dazed and disconnected.
-Losing track of your thoughts, or directions.
-Clumsiness and forgetfullness
-Feeling sick and unwell for no apparent reason.
-Eye twitching and pounding heart
GUIDED VISUALSATION
This is a very quick and effective technique to use when you need to ground yourself .
Have your feet flat on the floor during the visualisation, or, from the base of your spine if you are siEng directly on the floor.
Imagine you have long, thick roots coming from the base of your feet. Just let these roots go right down in to the earth below and let them anchor you onto the earth.
As these roots are deep into the earth, visualise yourself surrounded by a bubble/triange/box filled with pure and divine warm, white light.
