How often should I ground?

There are no one size fits all answer to this.  I would say whenever you feel ungrounded.  If you are able to dowse or do Kinesiology muscle testing, you can check how grounded you are as a percentage i.e. 0 – 100%.

Personally I find that I need to ground daily and this helps my day flow better if I do this first thing in the morning as part of my morning ritual.  The reason is that I often wake up and it’s like I am still dreaming, parts of me are missing.  Being grounded means being fully present in there here and the now.

The other thing to consider is what is going on in your life, how stressed you are or if you witness an accident etc. or anything else on the list of things that may makes us ungrounded.  Under these circumstances it may be helpful to do a grounding exercise more than once a day.

  • Contents of supressed report revealed…

    I am always interested in all form of research on complementary therapies and a report that is supressed piques my interest even more because it makes me wonder what is says. Way back in 2012, Australia’s National Health & Medical Research Council completed a report based on 55 studies into the effectiveness of homeopathy to treat

    • Fibromyalgia
    • Otitis media (middle ear infection)
    • After effects of cancer treatments
    In 2012 the report was blocked from being published.  A campaign that attracted more than 75,000 signatories and numerous Freedom of Information requests including from the Australian Senate finally had an impact and the report has been published. So, what did such a controversial report say?   It found “encouraging evidence” that homeopathy was an effective treatment for:
    • Fibromyalgia
    • Otitis media
    • Postoperative ileus (blocked intestine)
    • Colds
    • After effects of cancer treatments including chemotherapy

  • Can massage help relieve pain?

    When a toddler falls his mother will instinctively rub the sore spot to make it better.  Likewise, an office worker with stiff shoulders will probably try to knead them.  Because from an early age we have learnt the touch of a hand will ease pain. There are two type of pain:

    • Acute
    • Chronic
    Acute pain can be mild and last just a moment, or it might be severe and last for weeks or months.  Chronic pain is pain that is ongoing and usually lasts longer than six months.  In addition to chronic pains extended duration it is often more life limiting  and hence may have an emotional effect such as depression, anger, anxiety, and fear of re-injury.  Such a fear might limit a person's ability to return to their regular work or leisure activities. Deep Tissue or Sports massage may relieve pain by way of several mechanisms, including relaxing painful muscles, tendons, and joints; relieving stress and anxiety; and possibly helping to "close the pain gate" by stimulating competing nerve fibers and impeding pain messages to and from the brain. So if you are in pain, why not book a massage?
