I get flack at times for not explaining what things like keeping your vibration high, auras and being grounded are. I am sorry! I really want you to be in-the-know and benefit from all this woo-woo. I can't tell you how many times my computer puts the red squiggly line under "spiritual" words as I write, asking me to 'add to dictionary'. Let's focus on being grounded. Focus is the perfect way to start when talking about being grounded. I did a vlog you'll find very helpful on this subject. I shared it below. To talk about what it means to be grounded, we need to start with being ungrounded. Symptoms of "ungroundedness" are feeling scattered and all up in your head. It may feel like you are detached from your body too.
We do want to leave our bodies sometimes. We don't want to feel physical or emotional pain, or we don't want to be somewhere so we check out. If you have to spend time with people you don't like or it's an uncomfortable environment, you might leave your body and eat too much, think too much and/or drink too much. Being grounded is being present and in the moment. It means being comfortable, or super aware you are not comfortable.
It's easier to catch "ungroundedness" in others. It shows up in a co-worker or loved one who can't concentrate or stay on one subject during conversation. Or being a passenger in the car with someone and they are not paying attention at all to driving, or what you are saying. They are all over the place and soon you are.
As a society we are not grounded. In my travels to Spain and Italy especially, because I wasn't flying from city to city on tour, I got to really experience a culture that honors a daily grounded practice. They lunch, taking the afternoon to sit, chat, maybe even nap, enjoy a drink and an espresso before returning to the second half of their day at work.
In Kona, Hawaii it's not like that either. I think it's easier to stay grounded when the mountains and ocean are in view. Regular nature trips to a park, a cider mill and river create groundedness. Reading a book, getting a massage and eating a good meal are simple grounding methods. Chilling and grilling, and enjoying the sunset are on the list too. The key here is to stop, slow down and be present. Add a little "woo-woo" to that with...come back to right now.
If you are really aware of everyone else around you, you may not be in your body. I call being grounded occupying your body. Sensitive people often are concerned with how others are doing and feeling. They have lots of compassion. I share my free Superpower Intuitive Development series a lot because it is so helpful to know what your intuitive method is...especially if you are super-sensitive or have super-sensitive loved ones. It's a huge challenge to focus on yourself and be grounded. It can feel like you are enmeshed with everyone around you and you don't know where you start and they begin. You might feel like you have to leave. I recommend checking out my series for help on what to do if you going through this. It can be terrifying and uncomfortable! I know...but you can protect yourself and feel better in groups and busy places. I know! I am super-sensitive and it's a great quality to have when I am giving intuitive readings and for song-writing, but it took me awhile to figure out why I was so ungrounded, shy and focused on others. I still avoid big grocery stores and you will never find me at the mall on the weekend.
Trouble concentrating and feeling anxious and not knowing why other forms of being ungrounded. It can feel like you've eaten but you still have low-blood sugar. I find that angel-lovers and meditators can often like to be in this euphoric and light space. If you've ever done yoga, the last post is called corpse pose, or shavasana. It's done to bring you back home, into your body...grounded after all that exercise. It calls for one to feel themselves totally supported by the surface beneath.
On a serious side note, you may have a super-sensitive child who needs guidance on being grounded. I personally feel like kids are doing too much, and being run from one place and activity to another. They then get labeled as ADHD or ADD because they can't sit still in class. They will be little spinning and churning examples of us. They need downtime and stability, balanced with activity...NOT medication. This is my personal opinion. I also think diet and what's happening in the home contribute too. Science shows there are legitimate chemical imbalances, and even physiological things that cause children and people for that matter, to need medication. I probably should have Valium on hand because of my astrological birthday profile giving me an intense "mental energy". I also wasn't raised with security and stability. I left my body often to deal with abuse as many kids have. If this is resonating with you, touching you deeply, it may be time to explore what it means to be grounded .
Being grounded is feeling calm and present. You are part of what is happening around you, but in touch with yourself and your feelings. For example a co-worker may go off on tangents (most likely ungrounded) and freak out about a project or task not coming to fruition. If you are grounded you can observe what is happening over there, and not lose your concentration and focus. If you are ungrounded you might become fearful and stressed too right away, instead of discovering what can be done or not done.
In grounding meditations I take people to a forest or sandy beach to feel the ground beneath their feet. When you get into bed at night and have that "aahhh" this feels-so-good feeling, that's groundedness. Sitting with friends enjoying good conversation and eating a lovely meal together is another example of being grounded.
Here is a great quick and easy way to get grounded. Find a comfortable spot to sit or lay down. Lay back into a chair or into the floor beneath you. Allow yourself to relax. Feel your legs and butt touching your supportive surface. Feel your back sinking. Take a bit to feel your legs, knees, hips, waist, stomach, chest, shoulders, neck, and head. Feel your body. You are now in touch with your body. Allow yourself to completely relax and let go into this feeling of comfort, security and calm but aware presence. If you wish, and you are sitting, see your feet connected to the Earth growing roots way down deep to it's very core. Beautiful...when you are ready, rub the tips of your fingers together and shift your body a bit coming back into now. Open your eyes before you move.
