Feeling grounded means feeling at home in your body; feeling secure, comfortable and peaceful on earth. Grounding can help one to overcome external psychic and psychological influences as well.
Different circumstances can lead one to feel ungrounded. Trauma, mental illness, or even doing a great deal of spiritual work such as fasting or meditating can lead one to feel as if they are floating somewhat outside of their body. In such scenarios one can begin to feel jittery, anxious, and be lacking in clarity or direction.
In helping clients to ground, I suggest certain activities:
1. Eating heavier foods, such as beans, root vegetables, nuts, heavier proteins and grains, etc. according to what your diet allows.
2. Enjoying nature including walking barefoot if you like. Observe or play with animals.
3. Enjoying massage, sports or other activities which demand consciousness to be present in the body. Add to this the use of essential oils which can have the effect of energetically grounding, you if you like.
4. Do a grounding meditation regularly, and when feeling flighty or anxious. Feel your feet solidly on the ground. Imagine a stabilizing connection extending from your sacrum down into the center of the earth.
