#grounding yourself

[leakfe]

my spell posts seem to be popular, so here’s one of my favorite ways to ground myself

I guess it’s not really a spell, but more of a meditative and relaxing exercise to get you in the right headspace for a spell.

1. Find a nice, cozy space without a lot of noise, where you can spread out and lie on your back. Like a bed.

2. Plant your hands on the ground by your sides, your head straight back, and be still.

3. As you breathe in, imagine energy rising from your feet and up to your head. As you breathe out, imagine that energy casting itself down and outside of you in roots- not leaving you, but grounding you to the earth.

This has really helped with my anxiety, and also just grounding myself in general.

☽Grounding Yourself☾

Grounding literally means being in touch with reality. Being grounded is essential when you “come back” from a meditative or higher consciousness state and it is vital as a platform from which to state any meditative exercise.

Find somewhere quiet where you won’t be interrupted. Sit in a way that makes you comfortable.

Imagine you are a beautiful oak tree in a forest glade. Imagine your branches filled with leaves and the spirits of nature, who are your guardians. You can feel the strength of your trunk, thousands of years old, and the roots reaching into the ground beneath you.

Imagine you have roots growing out of your feet or from your pelvic floor grounding you in the depths of the earth and nourishing your whole being from that source.

Once you have imagined this for a few minutes, you can take a deep breath and relax. Open your eyes and know that this exercise will always ground you.

Grounding Yourself

GROUNDING YOURSELF

This is very, VERY important, especially if you are considering doing Astral Travel or any sort of out of body travelling. This, well, to be put simply, grounds you to the earth.

What you can do to ground yourself is rather simple. This is different for every person so I will list a few things that you could do.

METHOD 1: Imagine you are sitting in a forest/park/by a river/etc, somewhere nature related and relax. If you're not relaxed, this may end up being uncomfortable or it may not work in general. Now, imagine that you're a tree sprout and you're rooting yourself in the earth. Imagine yourself growing tall and deeply rooted into the earth. After that, imagine that you turn into the roots and the tree slowly disappears. AFter that, you should be done. IF you do not feel secure or like youre actually rooted then you may need to try again.

METHOD 2: relax and concentrate. Now, this is slightly similar to Method 1, but I find it helpful. You're sitting wherever you please and your body is starting to become one with the earth. You are in the earth and one with it, imagine yourself with the roots and with everything around. Once you feel secure or firmly grounded, you're good.

There are many other things that you could do for grounding, but these are the two methods that I generally use and have seen in the community. If you do have any ideas or methods that you have used, please feel free to message me ^_^ I am always open to new ideas!

Best of luck to you all!

Staying grounded.

Photo Credit: No I’m Not OK Sometimes I feel ungrounded, dissociated. Sometimes I feel like a gust of wind could blow me into nonexistence. I was raised in a harsh, chaotic, abusive environment and was blown from there into a harsh, chaotic, abusive marriage. As a result, I never was able to form strong roots. But to be grounded in life, to be able to bend and not break, adapt but not lose…

Hi Zaza! I've been suffering terribly the past week with dissociation (depersonalisation). Have you any tips on how to help ease the symptoms? 'Grounding' myself doesn't cut it for me and my counsellor skipped over it while I asked for tips (a few months back, don't see her anymore). It's a terrifying sensation and it triggers panic attacks too which don't help! (I am attending a new counsellor next week). Thank you! And thank you for always being lovely to everyone who asks for help!

oh thank you turtledove! well, grounding yourself is like using mindfulness and your senses to realign yourself in your body and awareness. here’s some tips that may help:

grab an item or two, sit comfortably, and describe the texture of each item to yourself. make yourself focus on using all your senses to explain the thing.this can also be done with the room as a whole, remind yourself who and where you are and how you got there.read something out loud to yourself, like a book or a label yoga or simple stretching or meditative breathing

Sitting in Silence

As often as possible it is a great deed to yourself to take the time to sit with yourself in silence. This gives the mind, body and spirit a chance to recharge. It helps you find your balance, it helps with grounding and time for reflection.

Many Blessings,
