Family Grounding Ritual

GROUNDING⁠

⁠
Our attention jumps from one moment to the next, from one experience in the past, to something we hope for in the future, to what we're engaged in right now and to a million other thoughts. This does not serve us in the NOW. And the NOW is the only place we can make change for the better.⁠
⁠
So what to do about this wandering mind of ours?⁠
⁠
The answer is GROUND.⁠
⁠
What? Maybe you've heard about grounding before but no one's really explained what it means or what if feels like. Grounding is using your imagination to release to and receive energy from the Earth. ⁠
⁠

How? Sit in a meditative pose of your choice. Now close your eyes and breathe. Next start to imagine that you have roots from your bottom and your feet. Imagine these roots growing into the Earth - past any flooring, carpet, grass, mud, rocks, insects, and allow your roots to grow to the center of the Earth. There imagine you see something to grab onto - I often imagine huge crystals, or rocks, or other roots. Imagine your roots wrapping around them. Then imagine energy coming up from the center to you and then your energy going down from you to the center. Repeat this with breathing - in breath, energy coming up - out breath, energy going down. ⁠
⁠
This is Grounding and the first stage (of 5) of being able to hold balance and stability in the NOW. ⁠

Grounding is needed more today than ever in your lifetime. And it's not just you that needs to ground. Your whole family needs to do the work. Your kids are in need of grounding.

Family grounding ritual:

• Remove your shoes
• Go outside and stand on the grass, dirt or concrete
• Concrete does allow for grounding - FYI
• Rubber soles of shoes prevents grounding - FYI
• Stand for 5 - 10 minutes together and on the Earth
• Allow your energy to flow through you, your family members and Earth
• Breathe

Grounding together will help your family become closer, calmer and less stressed. Stress hurts immune systems - love and the feeling of safety helps it. Do this for you and your family. You deserve peace and health.
