Grounding

Ever have one of those days where you just don’t feel like your feet are connecting to the ground and every thought you have appears to fly off into the ethers? Is everything moving so fast you feel like you might stumble? Maybe its time to do some grounding exercises.

Everybody talks about grounding, but no one really tells you how to do it. It is important to learn and an integral part of progressing spiritually and psychically. Although there are many methods, the easiest one is by focusing on parts of your body starting with your feet.

Sit or lay down in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Take one deep breath, hold it for a count of three and then slowly blow it out through pursed lips. Do this two more times. Quiet your mind by focusing on your body. How does it feel, cold, warm, tense, and achy? Change your focus to your feet. How do they feel? Are they cold? Tingling? Continue to focus on your feet and imagine them surrounded by a warm and golden light. Feel the warm warmth and energy of that light flood into each of your toes and move up into your feet you focus on it. Once you have identified this, move up to your calves and do the same continuing up your body until you reach the top of your head. Do this slowly and with care. Don’t skip steps. Take the time you need. Once you reach the top of your head take a few moments to enjoy the sense of wellbeing you have once grounded to this beautiful earth plane.

Have a blessed day.
