What is Spiritual Grounding?
Why Should Everyone Consider Doing It?
We’re all under a lot of stress right now. This isn’t anything new, because life tends to be stressful, but with all the discord and changes happening, it’s harder than ever to find peace of mind. I remember when I was younger, my doctor would tell me to find ways to alleviate stress, and it took a lot of self-control to keep from laughing out loud when he said it. I wish I’d known then what I know now.
What Is Grounding
We tend to make things more complicated than they have to be. I remember when I first started looking into different things attached to spirituality, I got my pen and paper out to take some serious notes, so I could learn how to do everything the “right way.” What I’ve found out since then is there is no right or wrong way to do spiritual practices except in so far as what works for each individual, and there are many options. Grounding is a perfect example.
Grounding is simply finding your way back to calm. When things are very stressful, it’s important to center yourself and remind yourself that the world is not falling apart, despite the triggers that tell you otherwise. There are many, many ways to go about this.
