How To Get Better At Grounding Yourself Without Spending Hours In Practice

balanceGrounding the energy in our bodies is something that should be done on a regular basis.  By regular, this could be several times a day depending on your energy and how you react to things.  The more we ground our energy, the easier it gets to do it and the frequency in which we have to ground can become less and less.  We can relieve stress, anxiety, dizziness, and become more calm, centered and focused with grounding.

One of my favorite ways to ground my energy is to bring my focus to my feet.  I become aware of my feet and allow my energy to flow down to my feet.  Often when I am meditating I find myself floating out of my body, and this is a really quick way to get back into your body and feel centered.  It wasn’t easy to do this at first, but with practice I can ground my energy and be centered within seconds.

If you are new to grounding, a really great and simple way to ground your energy is through visualization.  There are many different ways to visualize yourself grounding your energy.  What worked best for me was to visualize a ball of energy at the base of my neck.  It can be any colour you like. I would then send that ball of energy down my spine and once I hit the base of my spine (Root Chakra) I would shift it into a cord and continue moving downward from the base of my spine towards the ground.

Once I reached the ground I then shifted the cord into roots and allowed the roots to permeate the earth and go deep into the ground.  At that point I would focus my attention up to my Crown, and bring white light in through my crown and travel down through the same path as I started until I reached the bottom of the roots.  This was great for me.  It took a few minutes to do, but also became faster to do each time I practiced it.

It’s great to try out a few visualizations, and then find what works best for you.  You can even take bits from different types and create your own.  What’s important is to feel centered and balanced at the end.

  • Great tips Drea,
    I don't think much about it for myself anymore (I had to ground my energy just now to remember what I do), but to ground quickly and automatically, I take a deep breath, become aware of a heavy feeling almost in my root chakra, and have my energy go into the ground, like tree roots from my base chakra.
    I think your explanation for those new to grounding is perfect!

    • Drea:

      Thanks! I think the most important part of grounding and can be tricky for beginners is the FEELING of it. When I started out, it took me a while to realize the difference in feeling. I love your explanation of it…and love that it is another way that anyone cay try to help them get into the feeling of being grounded. 😀

  • Thank you Drea, Great tips. I sometimes inhale deeply then exhale while sensing myself being pulled down towards the floor, then I shake my hands. Sometimes it's quicker to just imagine I'm a tree and put attention on the roots. Putting attention on my feet works for when I can't get to sleep. My little grand daughter likes that one. I like your idea of creating one that works.
