So often in your busy world you become over-expanded and lose your sense of grounding. Do you feel like you are spinning and can’t seem to relax and be present in the moment?
When I teach a class on grounding I have my students practice by grounding using a beam of light, a waterfall or a tree trunk. Then I have them pull up their grounding. They do this several times to get a sense of the difference, noticing how they feel in their body. Generally, they are calmer and feel safe.
I also have them practice by filling their grounding cord with jello. Then they walk around the room and feel off center and wobbly. When they return to their seat they release the jello down their grounding cord and use the beam of light, waterfall or tree trunk again. Noticing the difference is amazing.

Take a few minutes to practice grounding your energy and teaching your body that you are safe. Too often you experience anxiety because of a lack of grounding. Anxiety is also common when you focus your attention in the future. Grounding in the present is a simple and effective tool to teach your body that you are safe, therefore shifting your anxiety into feeling calm.

I encourage my clients to make small steps and not try to do too many changes at once. The one step I suggest is to learn to ground, center and run your energy to clear others from your energy field. My own practice begins with this 12 minute practice.

Great visuals on what grounding looks like Candess. I personally love walking bare feet on the ground, feeling the connection. When I drive, I will push my bottom in the seat to feel grounded there, so that I can drive more calm.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Candess Campbell says
Claudette so happy to see you get it. However it is we ground, it is so important to not only manifesting, but also our health!

I love your use of the light, waterfall or tree trunk as a visual, Candess. Tree trunks, especially, make me feel calm and centred. Grounding is such an easy and instant way to reclaim your calm.

Candess, I absolutely LOVE this post and examples for grounding ourselves. The analogy of the light, waterfall or tree trunk as a visual grounding tool is pretty cool. Waterfalls and tree trunks work great for me. I love hugging trees as they feel so peaceful and calm. Thanks for the video, too!
Candess Campbell says
Thanks Tandy. Nature is such a beautiful teacher and healer!

I just purchased your 12-minute meditation and LOVED IT, Candess. I highly recommend it to everyone who needs more grounding in their life. Thank you for your beautiful voice and for sharing your wisdom in this way.
Candess Campbell says
Tandy, thank you for sharing this! I am so happy that you enjoyed it. I love it myself. Although I love to meditate, some days I feel depleted and it is so helpful to just listen to this grounding, centering and present time guidance.
