Grounding
Technique
This is a basic grounding visualization. Try it outdoors first to practice connecting to Earth. Then you can do it anywhere.
- Stand with your feet solidly beneath you shoulder width apart.
- Balance yourself by swaying front to back and side to side until you find your "center".
- Bend your knees a few times to limber up your legs and get your energy circulating.
- Inhale deeply and exhale fully, then repeat.
- As you continue to breathe deeply, picture yourself as a tree. Your arms and hair are branches. Your torso and legs are trunk. Picture roots extending from your feet into Earth.
- Each time you inhale, feel energy coursing up into your body through your roots and into your legs, torso and finally into your arms.
- Each time you exhale, feel your roots extending deeper into Earth seeking new energy.
- When you feel "full", thank Earth and let your roots retract until they disappear back into your feet. You are now "grounded" in your body.
