30 Ways To Get Grounded
Updated 2024.11.05
Being grounded means you are centered and balanced with who you are on a soul level. It means you're wholly connected to the truest, most authentic self, and version of you.
When you are grounded, you feel present, aware, safe, and connected.
I call it being in the state of your highest self. The best way I can explain groundedness and how it feels:
It feels very similar to the feeling you get when you find yourself in the state of innocence and wonder that one experiences in childhood or adulthood when you see something with grand amazement for the first time.
You feel open, and you feel safe and curious about being open.
It can create a feeling of what it must be like to be a tall mountain or a vast valley or a tree.
When you're grounded, it may improve decisions that honor and respect your soul's needs while respecting and honoring others' rights.
Grounding yourself spiritually only has definite benefits.
Cultivating groundedness is a nice tool when:
You want to experience time in the present moment
You have an upcoming event and want to feel a sense of presence for it
You feel you are stepping into a conversation deserving of your present mind and focus
You wonder what your soul's essence could feel like and how it might feel like to exist in that space
You are looking for positive spiritual experience
I also feel grounding can heighten and improve intuition. It can also increase your feeling of love and connectedness for others.
In last year's post on spiritually grounding, I explained three ways to ground, including meditation. Meditation is the activity most people I've talked to have associated with when they think of grounding.
Because grounding is the experience of coming into your body and the present moment of awareness, it can be done in many ways and can depend on the person.
So whether you like meditation or looking for a new way to ground, below are a few ideas on how you can cultivate a sense of groundedness mentioned above -

#23
Work on a craft that requires your hands
#24
Go be somewhere where you can hear nature’s noises, smell it’s fragrances or hear the bustle of movement
#25
Turn your phone off or temporarily “forget” where it is - ground yourself from your phone for an hour or two
#26
Think of the wildlife in your area you’re fond of and create habitat for them for an hour
#27
Listen to earthy music in nature, drumming or instrumental tracks (Deva Premal is a favorite of mine)
#28
Create your music with tuning forks or singing bowls
#29
Journal your thoughts or make a list of what you’re grateful for
#30
Have an emotional release; consider a release of Joy
On the last note. Joy.
I feel experiencing Joy is also part of the key to getting into the mind-state of your highest manifestation of self. In the metaphysical world, getting into a state of continual highest self is called Joy.
We call the pathway of reaching this state, the process of Raising Your Vibration. Check out this article on how to boost your energy.
When you are grounded, and back to Earth, you can maintain the grounded feeling going forward by focusing on the present moment - completing the task that’s right in front of you.
Practicing any of the above, even just one of these things can help you get back to a state of centeredness and connection to who you are on a soul level, called groundedness.
