Is your energy grounded?

When we feel grounded, we are naturally calm, tuned into our inner knowing, and trusting of life.

When we are not, we feel overwhelmed and scattered, anxious, stressed, confused and out of balance.

Using cell phones can be a majorly ungrounding thing as can be electronics in general! Other things that interfere with grounding are:

* Stress

* Moving through life at a fast pace and multitasking

* Empathic bombardment from being exposed to crowds, through social media or in person such as in big grocery stores

* Future tripping, losing touch with the present moment

For some being ungrounded causes insomnia, anxiety, and worse. Electronics especially can put us into fight or flight mode, leading to reactive and irritable emotional states.

Fortunately there are remedies!

Here are five techniques that I use to ground my field:

EARTHING
Laying or standing on the Earth is powerful for aborbing our excess energy. Sand, whether at dunes or a beach, is the very best substrate for drawing electromagnetic frequencies. Grass works second best. Try laying chest down and feeling the Earth heal your chakras!

FOREST BATHING
Walking through forests filled with trees combs through and clears the aura. Trees pull out the negative energy and fill us with positive energy. Ocean and waterfall air is also extremely clearing. The Earth holds the vibration of unconditional love and so she also is amazing at removing empathic overwhelm!

VISUALIZATION
Using our imagination to envision sending roots down into the Earth can enhance and assist, or can be used in a pinch on its own when being in nature is not an option.

SALT BATHS
Soaking in epsom salt helps tremendously with clearing negative vibrations. Adding essential oils, especially lavender and ylang ylang, can help raise our freqencies back to peace and love. (To learn more about using essential oils for psychic protection, be sure to listen to the Green Goddess podcast interview with DoTerra's Arin Ingraham!)

NATURE BASED MINDFULNESS
Bringing awareness to the present moment by spending time communing with nature and focusing on the smells, sounds and feel of the ground, breeze, sun or rain really helps.

For those of us who are empathic, it also helps immensly to give ourselves nurturing and loving energy throughout the day. Leaving the present is often an ego strategy employed when we don't feel secure. The more we slow down, tune into and meet our own inner needs with gentleness, the safer we feel to let go and just be.
