This article with 6 simple facts about grounding will help one to understand what it is and why we need to do this.
1. What Is Grounding?
Grounding is the process of our body’s energy remaining strong and connected to the earth’s energy and thus the here and now. Even though the process is more complex than expressed here, it is the most commonly understood explanation. We are electrical beings composed of energy at our core. This fact is why the grounding process is important to anyone.
We are physical, energetic beings, living on this physical energetic planet. While alive, we remain constantly connected to this place and time. If our connection becomes thinned or weighed down or at times, it causes us distress. This state of stress is known as being un-grounded.
2. Effects Of Not Being Grounded
When we are not properly grounded we are left open to pick up all sorts of energy around us. This can influence us in undesirable ways. A person who picks up on emotions of other people is a perfect example if this. As a result this person may find those emotions stay with them and affect their mood with no apparent reason. This type of situation occurs as a result of one’s body not being connected and grounded in the present. When a person’s energy is grounded excess energy cannot stick to them causing negative effects.
The same effect can occur due to residual energy left behind in an environment in as a result of high emotion situations having occurred there. When we are grounded we may still be aware these types of energy, however, we are not as easily affected by them in a negative way.
3. How To Recognize When You Are Not Grounded
Not being grounded may cause different symptoms. It may cause a person to feel like they cannot concentrate, and or find it difficult to follow instructions or conversations. If we are not grounded we may find ourselves daydreaming frequently, feeling disconnected, or feeling unbalanced. It may cause us to feel irritated without understanding why. These states of being can also affect our mood, as not being grounded allows us to pick up undesirable energy off other people.
4. Empaths, Anxiety & Grounding
An Empath is a person who has a natural ability to pick up and feel the emotions of another through heightened sensitivities. Awareness of empathic abilities is something which is becoming more common now days. Regardless, there are many empaths who suffer with anxiety as they do not understand their abilities and sensitivities. An unaware and untrained empath is someone who is likely to be unaware of how to become grounded to help themselves.
5. What Can Cause Use To Become Un-grounded?
Any individual who is sensitive to energy may need extra grounding techniques to help them. A sensitives body picks up signals and energy effortlessly thus leaving them open to undesirable energy. Scholars also may require techniques to assist with being grounded. Their constant thinking keeps their focus off of the physical world and out of the here and now. Individuals who over think situations may also require extra grounding techniques for the same reason.
Situations which can induce high emotion may stress our connection to the here and now causing us to become un-grounded. Also extreme states of joy can have the same result, states of euphoria can definitely lead a person to be ungrounded. A person who puts most of their attentions on otherworldly thoughts, and or ponders the metaphysical matters on a deep level constantly, may also require extra grounding techniques as they can become un-grounded easily.
