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.

A potential alternative to antibiotics
I am sure you are aware of the current level concern about the rise of antibiotics resistance and the need to find new antibiotics or alternatives. So I read with interest that a traditional indian herb is being studied by scientists as an alternative to antibiotics. The herb, andrographis, which is known at the "king of the bitters" grows in India and Sri Lanka. It is thought to be responsible for combatting the Spanish flu epidemic that reached the Indian subcontinent in 1919. Researchers from the University of Southampton in the UK have recruited 20 primary care facilities to participate in a trail, which will be using andrograhpis supplements. It will be tested as a natural remedy against colds and flu - and treating these commong problems like these with antibiotics is bringing the era of drug-resistant superbugs closer to reality. Its a placebo-controlled study - which means patients could be given the real herb or a fake version - that will look at the herb's ability to treat acute coughs, sore throats and sinusitis. The study could lead the way for a larger study involving more patients with acute respiratory infections.
Introduction to magnesium
Of all supplements right now there seems to be a buzz around magnesium so I wanted to explore its role in the body. I first became aware of magnesium over a decade ago when my nutritionalist put me being a chocoholic down to a lack of magnesium. It's then that I discovered that magnesium can ease PMS and chocolate is a good source of magnesium. So for all women out there that eat chocolate at certain times of the month, like I used to, don't beat yourself up, it may be like me and your body is crying out for magnesium. Magnesium is a mineral that is not just important for the body it is ubiquitous. It is crucial to:
- Nerve transmission
- Muscle contraction
- Blood coagulation
- Energy production
- Nutrient metabolism
- Bone and cell formation
- osteoporosis
- high blood pressure
- clogged arteries
- hereditary heart disease
- diabetes
- strokes
