What is “being grounded”?

For a large part of my life, I was ungrounded and never realised it.  I didn’t know what grounding was, why it would be beneficial to me or even how to do it.  I was basically ignorant about grounding.

During my 20’s and 30’s as I read spiritual books and got involved in personal development, the term grounding came up again and again but I still didn’t fully understand what it was or how to do it.  So I am basically writing this guide on grounding with my younger self in mind and hoping that other people who are interested in personal and spiritual development will find it of assistance.

I define being grounded as being connected to mother earth or Gaia.  Being grounded is a scale, some people are naturally very grounded and other less so.  In my case, in my 20’s and 30’s I was not very grounded.

Over the my next few blog posts, I will explore the topic of grounding in more details.  In the meantime, if you are interested in finding out how to ground then why not download my free eBook.

  • Why a good nights sleep is a dieter’s best fiend..

    Inadequate sleep has been linked to many things including an adverse impact on:

    • Mental health
    • Fertility
    • Immunity
    Long term lack of sleep can lead you to put on weight because it changes the levels of two hormones:
    • Leptin - which is the satiety hormone
    • Ghrelin - which is the hunger hormone
    Sleep deprivation increase ghrelin and decreases leptin so you feel hungry and never feel full - not a good combination, especially if you are on a diet. The prefrontal cortex is the brain's CEO - it makes the sensible decisions.   You can think of your amygdala and your prefrontal cortex as being in a tug of war.  When you haven't slept well the amygdala is much more reactive and stronger and the prefrontal cortex is diminshed.  This doesn't make for good food choices!  This is also why you stuggle to concentrate when you are tired.
