How do you ground yourself?
I particularly love grounding myself by the sea.
When you are agitated or emotionally overwhelmed, knowing how to ground yourself and soothe your nervous system is really helpful.
One way of doing this is to take a mindful walk in nature and being by the sea is lovely.
Take conscious steps and pay attention to the sensations in your body as you walk. It may help to walk more slowly than normal, allowing your whole self to slow down. Using your senses helps to ground you - notice the sights, sounds, smells and feel of the air on your skin.
It helps me.
In my practice, I help many clients with grounding techniques; if you'd like to learn how to do this for yourself, I'd be happy to show you.
Anna.
