Hints and Tips on Grounding

In this blog post, I want to share with you some hints and tips based on my experiences of being ungrounded and grounded over the years.

Sensations in the legs

When I first started doing daily grounding exercises I felt nothing.  Then over time, if I woke up very ungrounded and did the grounding exercises I started to feel sensations in my legs especially my calf’s.

Of course it is important to remember that some of this could indicate problems with your mental or physical health, so do go and see a doctor if you are concerned as well as trying to become more grounded.

 

Post Grounding Exercise
For any reader who is sensitive to energies, after they have completed this grounding exercise they may want to visualise Gaia’s energy flowing up each of the beams that wrap around the earth’s core, filling your whole physical body with healing earth energy.

 

Air Travel
Aeroplane travel can be challenging to those of us who struggle to stay grounded.  Before traveling, I do my daily grounding exercise as normal.   In addition, I imagine a silver cord from my root chakra or pelvic area that connects me to the core mother earth – basically an additional tent peg from my daily grounding routine.  When I am in the air, I set the intention that this silver cord “feeds me” the ideal vibration of Gaia’s energy to keep me grounded while I am in the air.

 

Hospitalisations
Being hospitalised is challenging for energetically sensitive people and it may impact who grounded you are.  It may be necessary to repeat a grounding exercise during the day.

  • Stress and the immune system – Part 3

    In part 1, I explore the immune system and in part 2 the impact of short term or accute stress on the immune system.  In this post I want to explore the impact of chronic or long term stress on the immune system. 1. Distant Stressors – traumatic experiences that occurred in the past yet are still causing long lasting change in both emotional and cognitive behaviours that result in modification of immune system function.  For example, having been a prisoner of war. 2. Chronic Stressors – these pervade a person’s life and there is no awareness of when it might end.  This for of stress suppresses both specific and natural immunity.  Some examples of chronic stressors are

    • demanding jobs
    • financial difficulties
    • challenging relationships
    In summary the stress hormone corticosteroid can suppress the effectiveness of the immune system (e.g. lowers the number of lymphocytes). Stress can also have an indirect effect on the immune system as a person may use unhealthy behavioural coping strategies to reduce their stress, such as drinking and smoking. Managing stress therefore is intrinsically linked to wellbeing and keeping well. Reference https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1361287/
