Getting grounded in your own body

​








 
 
 
Why is it so important to be grounded in your own body? How do you know when you are not in your own body?
 
If you often feel lightheaded, or foggy then you most probably are not grounded fully in your body. Now this can get a bit confusing and you may think that you are not well which is a possibility too but using some grounding tools will help you discover which one is present. The reason it can be confusing is because sometime when we are not well we will leave our body just enough to not feel the pain. This can be from emotional and physical trauma too.
 

Here are few reasons we can become ungrounded:
 
Meditation: If we spent time in our upper chakras and/or traveled during our meditation and we did not give ourselves a few minutes to ground before we get up and out of the meditation
 
Past lives: Being still connected to past lives can keep us feeling floatie
 
 
Stress, trauma and Illness: When we are feeling uncomfortable or in pain we will leave our bodies for protection and often even after the event is over with we still have not full connected and grounded into our bodies.
 
 
Dreaming:  Often our spirit will astral travel during sleep and travel throughout earth or other planes or dimensions. When the spirit returns it may not be fully grounded, this sometimes can happen if you wake suddenly. If you have ever dreamt of falling downstairs or flying then you probably have traveled. Sometime your body will jump with the re-entrance of your spirit.
 
 
 
Some of the symptoms of being ungrounded are:

• Feeling lightheaded
• Foggy
• Unwell
• Dropping things
• Lack of concentration
• Seeing yourself from above

 

If you have experienced any of these then you need to get grounded. In general, it is good practice to ground daily anyway but here are a few options you can do:
 
 
Grounding Tools:

1. Imagining that your feet have roots deep into Mother Earth
2. Connecting in nature in anyway, walking, gardening
3. Putting your bare feet or laying down on Mother Earth itself like on grass, sand or soil.
4. Eating foods that are grounding that are of the earth, whole foods and red plant- based foods that connect with the root chakra.
5. Wearing red or black clothing.
6. Wearing crystals like hematite, obsidian, red jasper, bloodstone
7. Meditating
8. Washing dishes

 
 
Try any of these the next time you are feeling ungrounded. These are great tools to have when you are going through stressful times to help you think clearer.

Much love,
