When you decided to move your body intentionally and organically that is the quickest route to ground within yourself. Moving through energy can look like Yoga ( check out our class schedule ), dancing around your apartment, running, or simply taking a walk. With movement we are able to move through any stagnant or stuck energy reconnecting to our bodies and making it easier to ground ourselves. We are energetic beings at our core, and when that energy gets pent up it can lead to anxiety, restlessness, and even over exhaustion. Move your body to help release anxious energy and because it feels good.

Anything counts, whether that hobby is yoga, drawing, playing a sport, going to the gym, or calligraphy. Ways to Groundįinding a hobby that you love is crucial to grounding because it guarantees you will set aside time to do something for you that fills you with joy. Grounding allows your body to access your talents, your power, and nourish your visions and goals to create the best life for you. When you are grounded, you become your own energy source, drawing on a strong foundational relationship within yourself. These are the times when it’s really important to re-ground, bring your energy back to you, refill your cup, and realign with what is important to you. We all have those frantic days where there doesn’t seem to be enough hours, or where we are overwhelmed, people pleasing, trying to meet others’ expectations, feeling scatterbrained, or lost. Being ungrounded can make you feel out of control and trigger anxiety because you become easily influenced by other people and your environment. When you are ungrounded you may feel frantic, stressed, in chaos, easily distracted, powerless, spacey, and unconnected to your body and life. When you are grounded it allows you to be present, organize your thoughts, and grow in a way that is in alignment with your vision. ![]() Grounding at its root is a practice of energetically connecting to the earth, like a plant growing from a stable and nourishing plot of land.
