Grounding my energy is one of my favourite morning rituals. I spend a few minutes standing barefoot on the grass focusing on breathwork. Grounding techniques are exercises that can help you feel anchored in the present and restore balance in the mind and body. These techniques are very helpful for improving feelings of anxiety, stress, depression, PTSD, and dissociation. Grounding exercises include walking barefoot, standing barefoot or pressing your hands into the earth or grass. Grounding is not a modern practice. It has existed for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine and within indigenous communities. In the 1800’s, German scientists began proposing walking barefoot for health benefits.
