SIMPLY GROUNDED: HEALING FROM MOTHER EARTH

GROW YOUR ROOTS
"Sense your feet growing deep roots, like a tree." Being grounded is a process that helps you to energetically and physically connect deeper to the healing frequencies of the Earth.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE NOT GROUNDED?
If you’re ungrounded you may experience:
Brain fog
Scattered thoughts
Confusion
Anxiety
Overwhelm
Stress
Increased pain
Feel a sense of disconnection
Feel overly emotional Be aware and when you feel your energy slipping into a state of being ungrounded try this exercise to bring you back into a present, grounded state.
GROW YOUR ROOTS EXERCISE
Begin, by standing with your feet slightly apart and make sure your weight is centered.
Take a few deep breaths and drop into your body. Imagine your feet are growing deep roots like a tree. Try to grow your roots as big and strong as you can. Once you've visualized these strong roots, connect them to the Earth by sending them downward. You want to anchor your roots as deep into the Earth as you can. Take your roots all the way down to the center of the Earth and imagine wrapping them around the Earth's core three times. Take a few deep belly breaths as you feel deeply connected to Mother Earth's energy. Spend as much as you need, and when you are ready slowly come back to the room by wiggling you toes, rubbing the tops of your legs, and opening your eyes. Now, check in with your body and see how you feel? Did anything change? When you are grounded and centered you may feel:
Safe, secure and stable
A sense of belonging
Balanced mood and emotions
More energy and vitality
Lowered pain levels
Improved sleep
Less triggered others
A state of peace and calm
Physically lighter Now, take a few moments and write your experience with this exercise in your journal.
