As our bearings shift at an accelerating rate – in response to economic, environmental, and other changes, locally and globally – it is vitally important that we each learn how to effectively ‘ground ourselves’.
Grounding – unlike the disciplinarian use of the word in relation to teenagers being ‘grounded’, meaning not allowed to leave their home (a form of ‘punishment’ for ‘misbehavior’) – grounding in this context means being
- * Centered
- * Calm
- * Confident
- * Clear
- * Coordinated
In the context of accelerating change – and our increasingly frequent perception of being ‘out of control’ – grounding makes all the difference.
What are we actually referring to when we speak of ‘being grounded’?
On the most essential level, we are speaking of the electricity that runs through our psycho-physical system.
Just like any electronic device that runs a considerable voltage of energy through it we, too, need to ground the energy flowing through our system. If we do not, we experience a ‘short circuiting’. This can appear as physical destabilization, emotional destabilization, or mental destabilization – not a pleasant experience, regardless which version we encounter.
We must begin to think of ourselves as electrical systems. An electronics specialist would never install a high potency device without grounding it.
Grounding is, essentially, creating a pathway into the ground for excess energy to be dispersed.
We can do this via
a. Rooting our feet into the ground, energetically
b. Connecting our root chakra (at the base of our spine) into the Earth
c. Lowering our centre of gravity into our belly, or beneath it
d. Slowing our breath to flow equally throughout our lower limbs as well as our entire body
e. Sensing subtle energy in our feet and toes
f. Other ways of running energy downward into our second (belly) chakra and beneath it
As we actively ground our energy, we feel more stable, more present, more capable, less afraid or overwhelmed, more clear.

Questions to Ponder: At what time of day or night might you regularly practice grounding yourself? Where would be an ideal place to do this?
Grounding yourself (at least once daily) is like plugging your electric car into a socket for a recharge. Without it, your batteries run down, and you begin to feel ‘fried’.

I have got 1 recommendation for your blog site. It looks like there are a couple of cascading stylesheet issues when opening a number of webpages in google chrome as well as opera. It is functioning okay in internet explorer. Possibly you can double check that.
Thanks – my web master has checked URLight on all major browsers. I appreciate your ‘heads up’! 🙂 Ariole
I have no fear that the result of our experiment will be that men may be trusted to govern themselves without a master.
History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.

Yesterday the energy was unusually intense and, while preparing computerized images for an upcoming festival, the connection between myself and my computer was extremely focused, as well as “pushing” in the effort to achieve. Then suddenly my computer screen “went nuts” as if there was some electronic interference and it continued for hours UNTIL I recognized that the electronic interference might be coming from me. The instant I blocked the energy flow between myself and the computer, the monitor returned to normal. Computers can be trained to work with higher energy frequencies, (my other computer actually won’t boot up unless I’m present in front of it), but sometimes one just has to BACK OFF and remain grounded and allow the computer to work on its own!!! 😀
