Being grounded to me feels like coming home.

It means being completely comfortable, open and true to myself. It means being fully present, relaxed and confident of who I am. An inner knowledge that I am exactly where I’m meant to be at this time in my life. I feel peaceful yet purposeful. I feel a strong connection to the Earth and to fellow man-kind. It is a reminder that we are all here for each other. But most of all I feel my heart expanding. I’m so grateful for the beauty of Mother Nature and the way she makes me feel. My cup runneth over… And when I’m in this place I can help others without depleting myself; I can be creative without running dry; I have unlimited energy, thoughts and kindness…

It’s like coming home, to me…

Some ways to Ground yourself:

• Spend some time in Nature; a walk, swim, picnic, bike ride, surf, horse ride, anything you love to do that connects you with Mother Earth
• Tend to your garden or someone else’s; if you don’t have a yard plant some herbs or flowers in pots and tend to them daily or join a community garden
• Get close with an animal; whether it’s a domesticated pet or a bird on your windowsill or a lizard in the park, spend a moment of time with them. Really look at them and see if they try to connect back with you
• Take off your shoes!!! Feel the Earth beneath your feet, the soft grass, the sand or even some cool mud. Let your feet breathe and enjoy everyday
• Hug a tree! Seriously. Get to “know” the trees in your neighbourhood; how they sound, how they smell, how they feel, when they flower. Listen to their whispers

For me I like to walk in the bush… the many birds, animals, bush flowers and trees… by a creek or along the coast… It stirs the soul…

So how do you ground yourself?
