Are You Grounded?
Greetings & a warm Hello,
Are you feeling a bit scattered, disorganized, or overwhelmed ... or are you feeling centered and "grounded?" Are you feeling like you are not quite expressing your full potential ... or are you manifesting and expressing your true heart's desires?
Grounding your energy is an important aspect to Aligning Within, feeling joy and peace, fully expressing your highest potential.
What Does it Mean to Be Grounded?
To be "grounded" means that our energy is grounded and we're staying connected with the earth, energetically speaking. Grounding is a way of managing our energy, both in our physical body and our subtle energetic bodies. It is especially important for empaths and/or highly sensitive persons (HSPs), who often feel overstimulated and overwhelmed in the world. When we are grounded we have a deep connection with our physical body and the physical realm of earth, while concurrently having a deep awareness of our spiritual nature. Grounding is our inner Yin foundation to our outer Yang expression. When we are grounded we feel calmer, clearer, centered, and rooted. It's much more comfortable - physically, mentally and emotionally!
Symptoms of being ungrounded can look and feel like:
Feeling scattered, overwhelmed, flighty, dizzy, floaty
Difficulty focusing and concentrating; forgetfulness
Indecision, lack of clarity
Getting caught in dramas and chaos more easily
Weak boundaries in relationships and around your time and energy
Symptoms of being Grounded can look and feel like:
Mentally calm, clear and focused
Emotionally calm and centered
Spiritual equanimity, compassion and love
Healthy boundaries; able to respond to life in a calm way
Full expression of your highest purpose
