Ground Yourself

Ground Yourself (Guided Meditation Below)

Many of us find ourselves feeling a bit overwhelmed and our thoughts scattered, especially this time of year. If this sounds familiar then it’s a sure sign that you’re not completely grounded. So, what is being grounded mean?

Grounding your energy means connecting yourself to the earth. Similarly, to the roots of a tree. When we ground our energy is creates a firm foundation to help us to weather any storm we’re up against. There are many benefits to grounding such as increased focus and decisiveness, reduced stress and increases your energy levels. Studies have shown that grounding your energy also reduces pain and inflammation in the body and improves sleep.

There are many ways to ground your energy such as walking in the grass, sand, or dirt with your bare feet, spending time in nature, gardening or meditating; just to name a few. I encourage you to consider taking a few minutes of your time and calm your busy mind through grounding.

Below is a Grounding Meditation that I wrote to help me ground my energy. So I wanted to share it with you all. Before you begin take a couple deep breaths and then read slowly. Allow your mind to visualize the imagery as clearly as possible; pausing where needed until the picture becomes clear in your mind. When you are finished reading take a deep breath and notice any changes you feel in your mind and body. I wish you all the best! -LA

GROUNDED

Divine white light pours down into the crown of my head, filling me with all that I need.

I can feel it tingle as it drifts into the space between my eyes and transform into royal violet before it begins spinning.

The violet spinning light expands in all directions as it begins its spiraling decent past my nose and chin before blending into indigo just as it reaches my throat.

Indigo rays spin around my neck creating a necklace of freedom loosening the tension I was carrying in my shoulders.

Ocean colored waves then wash beneath my shoulder blades flowing directly into my heart causing an explosion of glowing emerald light that shoots love from between my breast.

A trail of green satin gently hugs my ribs before making its way to the bright sun that has now risen inside my core, illuminating all that surrounds me.

The bright yellow sun then begins to sink down below my navel still projecting its rays in all directions as they turn intense orange.

Finding warmth and solace the orange glow begins to dip into my pelvis as it ignites in to fiery red cleansing me of all I no longer need.

The spiraling continues until it has met its end, where it combusts and shoots a bright ruby lightning bolt from the base of my spine penetrating the earth below.

I become a kaleidoscope of color that races back up my body until it reaches the divine white light entering my crown, where it then slowly drips back down my body like melting crayons.

I feel calm, balanced and completely at peace with myself and all that surrounds me and I know that I am...GROUNDED.
