Grounding for Wellbeing
Learn how reconnecting with nature can restore your energetic balance - easy grounding techniques included!
Grounding is essential during this time of energetic changes and shifts. We exist as energetic beings in a physical body. Think of the lower half of the body as our connection to Earth and the upper half of our body as connected to Source, God, or All that Is. This time is unique as we learn to raise our vibration to resonate with the unconditional love of the Fifth Dimension while still existing in a physical body.
When we ground (or Earth) ourselves we strengthen our support system - plus connecting to Mother Earth feels amazing!
When we are grounded we feel life flows effortlessly. We are efficient, even-tempered and easily draw on our skills and talents.
Grounding is something that comes up in energy therapy sessions, often when a client has been ungrounded for so long it seems normal to them. Luckily, with awareness we are in a position to identify and correct grounding imbalances.
So what does being ungrounded look like?

How do we become ungrounded?
We become ungrounded when life experiences, events, emotions, and energetic shifts impact our energy and make us feel uncomfortable or worse (this can even be caused by uncomfortable positive experiences). When our bodies become an uncomfortable place to be our natural alignment is disrupted and we become ungrounded.
If you are interested in the scientific aspect of this phenomenon, the US National Institutes of Health published a paper, Earthing: Health Implications of Reconnecting the Human Body to the Earth's Surface Electrons, providing evidence for what we already know. Exposure to nature is good for us and it is good for our health.
Grounding for balance
Remember the last time you walked or played in nature.
Recall the joy of soaking in the sights, smells and sounds of the natural landscape?
While walking barefoot in nature is the most effective method of recharging ourselves, even being exposed to trees and natural landscape gladdens the heart.
Nature is a natural healer. We aren’t meant to live and work indoors away from exposure to Earth’s primordial flow of electrons. This exposure, especially when barefoot, is one of the strongest ways to recharge our batteries but there are a few different ways to achieve being grounded.
10 Tips to becoming grounded
1. Walk barefoot on the earth, sand, in the water.
2. Sit with bare feet on the ground/lawn.
3. Lie on the ground, drop your energetic roots into Mother Earth and wrap them around her core.
4. Swim in the ocean.
5. Hug a tree. Breathe. Really!
6. Sit. Place grounding stones such as tourmaline or hematite* OR use 4 or 5 seashells (fresh not purchased) under your bare feet. Relax.
7. Use grounding essential oils - Spruce, Rosewood, Cinnamon, Sage, Clove, Coriander, Lavender, Patchouli, Chamomile, Sandalwood. Put 3 drops of the oil that appeals most to you in an essential oil diffuser and enjoy.
8. Wear a piece of garnet, hematite, kyanite, tourmaline or smokey quartz if you tend to become ungrounded easily or if you have been ungrounded for quite some time.
9. Enjoy a long soak in a warm bath with a cup of sea salt or Epsom salt added to it.
10. Get support from a reputable energy practitioner.
