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 2
In part 1, I gave an overview of the immune system works. In this post, I want to explore the impact of short-term stress on the immune system. The immune system is actually very flexible and naturally responds to challenges in your life which means stress modifies our immune system. When we consider the impact of stress on the immune system, we need to consider the duration and course of the stress i.e. how long it will be present and whether or its continuous or not. 1. Acute Stressors – last only minutes e.g. public speak – can cause adaptive up regulation of natural immunity and down regulation of specific immunity. This means you have an increased ability to fight infection but reduced specific response. 2. Brief Naturalistic Stressors – for example taking exams, present a short-term challenge – this means you specific immunity is preserved but less ability to fight infections. In summary in some circumstances, acute short-term stress is part of everyday life, and under some circumstances it can enhance your immunity.
