Grounding: Be Here Now

Be here now.  A good reminder as we find our self pulled in many directions.  Many mindfulness practices do just this — root us in the here and now.  One energy technique, grounding, invites us to do the same.

When we ground, we connect to Earth and Source in the present moment. Through grounding we consciously acknowledge that we are part of the great circle of life; we flow within the cycle of life. 

While there are many different ways to ground, try this simple way of grounding  through the breath:

Inhale…describe the breath with all of your senses…sight…sound…taste…smell…feeling… consciously focus on the breath as it flows into the crown of your head…with each inhale, pull your breath deeper into your body…through your head…into your neck…past your heart…deeper into your torso…reaching into pelvis…branching out into both your legs …down, down, down your legs until it flows out the soles of your feet…

Your energy mingles with the energy of Earth…it co-mingles forming a unique weave of your and Earth energies…draw this comingled energy up through the soles of your feet, up your legs, into your torso…noticing how the joined energy touches your being…how does the energy make you feel…with each inhale, the energy moves further up your body…through you neck…up past your forehead…out your crown…

it reaches up, up, up to the Source…here all three energies mingle…draw this three strand energy back into your body…notice, with all of your senses how you are connected to Earth and Source…how they connect to each other through you.

Throughout the day, notice how this connection helps you “be here now.”  When you do not feel present, reconnect with the energy of Earth and Source.

Grounding with awareness into the moment,
