Great Truths 🙏🏻 Great pic 🙏🏻

“people tell us not to feed for comfort while they sip their sleepy-time tea.
⠀
people tell us to not cuddle our children to sleep while they spoon their partner.
⠀
people tell us our child is too old to breastfeed while they sip their cow's milk.
⠀
people tell us not to nurse or rock our babies to sleep while they sell us the latest gadget that’s supposed to do the exact same thing.
⠀
people tell us to let them cry, while they go comfort a friend.
⠀
people tell us responding to our child is creating bad habits, while they smoke and drink.
⠀
man, do they tell us! but i’m not them and neither are you. because we hear our instincts loud and clear and they will not be silenced. because even though we are exhausted, we know our baby’s cry is not a protest, but a communication. because we know their need for us at 3am is not a manipulation. because even though our backs and hips ache from sleeping in that dang c position, we know that little indent on the right side of our bed will soon fade away - and we would welcome that pain in our body just to feel them latch on more time.
⠀
people tell us, but we know. we know this is important, we know that this is right for us and our baby, and we know this is just how it’s supposed to be.
⠀
we know mama, they may tell us, but let’s rest in our know.”

A few grounding techniques for Empaths

Touch the earth

Everyone benefits from earthing. Kicking off your shoes and touching the ground with the soles of your feet is the fastest way to achieve a grounding effect, helping you shed the emotional and physical free radicals you pick up from around you. Studies have shown that the electrons we receive directly from the earth actually have antioxidant effects. The rubber in our shoes prevents us from receiving these benefits regularly.

Once a day, touch the earth. Dirt, sand, water, grass or concrete will all allow you to connect directly to the source which sustains our physical bodies.

Guided meditation

While any type of meditation offers grounding affects, many struggle with keeping their minds clear. Most meditation practices require larger chunks of time at the beginning in order to retrain your mind to clear. If you struggle with finding that kind of time, then guided meditation may be the way to begin. By listening to an audio guiding your mind, you are more likely to remain focused and battle less with drifting thoughts.

The best grounding meditations will focus on breathing down into the earth, bringing your focus to your root chakra, and slowing your mind.

Get in the water

ShowerWater is synonymous with cleansing. Whether taking a shower, a calming bath, wading in a lake or lounging in an ocean’s surf, getting into water allows you to focus on your physical senses and refresh your entire being.

Even simply hearing the sound of running water can stimulate the senses and help you realign with the present moment. Grab a counter top water fountain and run it throughout the day, while sitting in guided meditation or soaking in a cleansing bath.

Essential Oils

Essential oils, in their purest, most natural form, carry properties straight from the earth. Derived from plants, trees and roots, their high concentration of nutrients pe*****te through the skin when applied topically giving us a direct boost of nature. If you are unable to get out into nature, essential oils bring the same natural effects right to you.
Diffusing oils like sage and lavender have been known for centuries to cleanse negative energies and welcome positivity. Using them in a variety of ways brings about spiritual, physical and emotional grounding.
