Get Grounded

Card: “Get Grounded”
From: Trust Your Vibes by Sonia Choquette

Grounding is about connecting with the earth and our earthly bodies. It’s similar to the importance of a grounding wire in a electrical plug. Often when we meditate or daydream we become less ‘grounded’ as we connect with the spirit world. We may feel lightheaded and dreamy. While it’s good to be dreamy when you’re daydreaming or meditating, it’s not so good when you’re doing an important task like cooking or driving. As for cooking, take it from me, it’s good to be grounded. I am very ‘clumsy’ in the kitchen but I’ve come to realize that it’s just because I’m not grounded in what I’m doing and I’m not grounded to the earth. I’m going to start grounding myself every time I start to prepare something in the kitchen. I’ll save a lot of band-aids, for sure! :-)

There are a few ways to get grounded, but my favourite was taught to me by my first spiritual teacher, Holly Poole, of Healing in Motion: http://www.healinginmotion.com/ Holly’s technique for grounding is quite simple, and as with most spiritual and psychic things, it’s about intent. To use Holly’s technique, all you do is move your arm in a sweeping downward motion, like you’re slamming a book on a table, but follow through to the extent of your arm. Move your arm in this fashion three times and each time say ‘I am grounded’ at the same time you’re doing the movement. This always works for me.

The next time you feel ‘out of touch’ or feel like you’ve got your ‘head in the clouds’, try this grounding exercise, and notice how you feel afterwards.

Have a great, grounding day!

Love,
