Being Grounded

I talk a lot about being grounded in your body. It's one of those terms that a lot of us use, but do we really know what that means? When your spirit is fully activated in your body, you are grounded. The more your spirit is activated in your body, the more alive you feel and the more you are in connection to your divine source, which is limitless in joy and peace and love and health. Knowing that, I am sure some of you are still perplexed.

It's funny, I googled "being grounded" just to get some feedback for writing this blog and all these kids were writing about being grounded by their parents. I had forgotten that the term being grounded has some negative connotations for us as a society. Being grounded really meant for us as children not being able to go out and have fun.

This makes a lot of sense to me, because when I tell clients that it would be useful for them to get grounded, a lot of people look at me like I'm telling them to eat their veggies. It's no fun to hear that you need to be grounded and some of us think of it almost as a punishment.

The other thing that came up in my google search was an entry in Wikepedia about grounding in an electrical circuit, which actually made a lot of sense when I look at the idea metaphorically. The direct quote from Wikepedia : "a "ground" is usually idealized as an infinite source or sink for charge, which can absorb an unlimited amount of current without changing its potential." When a circuit is not grounded, my understanding is that the electricity is on the loose and can scatter and cause shock.

The more grounded we are in our bodies, the more divine energy we can let in without being overwhelmed by that energy. Just like with an electrical circuit, when our spirit is grounded in our bodies we can absorb an unlimited amount of divine "current" which means we are more able channel and therefore manifest all that is divine. So, not only is grounding not a boring and a bad thing, it is one of the most useful and powerful tools to physically create divinity in our lives and in the lives of those around us.

When we are ungrounded, our energy scatters and becomes less affective. It can create mixed signals to the people in our lives and also mixed signals to the divine when it comes to manifesting. We basically become less effective and in extreme cases self-destructive.

We ground ourselves by consciously asking to be. "Divine light move through me and activate every cell of my body and being to live brightly and be inspired by the divinity that is my truth," would be a good affirmation. Getting out in nature is grounding for us, cold water is grounding, rubbing our feet is grounding, holding a rock is grounding. Anything that wakes us up in our bodies and helps us to know that we are here on this earth awake and alive is grounding.

Let's get grounded so we can experience limitless joy, love, peace, health, abundance, wealth, passion, wisdom, and bliss and share that limitlessness with the world around us!
