When we are ungrounded, our energy is concentrated more in our heads.

“I love your new manual—it’s so thorough and user friendly! I’d like to include it as part of my program’s required book list.” Nola B., Assistant Professor of a counseling program |
Sometimes feelings of stress, anxiety, or panic will lead to being ungrounded. We feel harried, scattered, 'running around like a chicken with its head cut off.' We can't slow down our thoughts. Our bodies are always on the move.
An ungrounded life is a life whose mind and heart and body are not integrated. This lack of integration results in an imbalance of energy causing the bulk of the energy to be centered in the head. This can result in a seeminly endless mental chatter. We can't think straight. Or, we experience life as if we only were a (dissociated) head, having no or limited awareness of feelings and bodily sensations. Our awareness is centered in the head, rather than distributed throughout our body.
Getting Grounded
To become fully alive, we need to step down from the head, and dip our whole selves into the body, its senses, the world, and the waters of life. We need to be grounded.
Being grounded is fundamental to well-being and a balanced life. Grounding also is an important component of any effort to remedy stress, anxiety, panic attacks or insominia, because grounding directs the energy and awareness back into the body thereby helping to manage stress, catastrophic thinking, and panic.
If you are unhappy with being ungrounded, you can do something about it! Getting grounded is a skill which you can develop, and make a way of life. To become grounded, you need to apply yourself to exercises that develop grounding such as are found in...

“I discovered your book on the Internet while preparing our yearly two days spiritual retreat in an abbey, last weekend. I attribute the success of the retreat for a big deal to the grounding exercises from your book, with which we started each session of reading, sharing, praying and meditating. You have translated a lot of theoretical knowledge into a very useful practical manual. As I said, it is more than I expected. Thanks again.” Rafael T, Counselor |
