How to use crystals for grounding
Are there times (if not most of the time) you feel like your mind is up in the air, confused, and all over the place? It could be because you’re in a difficult situation right now. Maybe you’re bothered by something that happened in the past or are worried about what may happen in the future.
This is a sign of being unbalanced and that you’ve lost your connection with the present moment.
When you start to “space out” and need to feel centered, it’s time to ground and reconnect yourself with the energies of the Earth.
To put simply, “grounding” means to connect yourself to your physical reality – to be in the present moment – as opposed to dwelling in the past or worrying about the future. It secures your connection with the earth, helping you establish your foundation and feel stable.
Being grounded helps you stay calm, balanced, and centered, especially during difficult situations. Practicing grounding on a daily basis is one of the ways to keep your mind and body healthy.
How will I know if I need to be grounded?
Here are the usual signs that you’re experiencing imbalance and need to be grounded:
- Feeling weak, “floaty”, and confused
- Anxious or agitated
- Unfocused, difficulty concentrating
- Lethargic and unmotivated
- Spending too much time daydreaming
- Spaced out
- Feeling of disconnection with one’s self
It’s okay to feel these things and be ungrounded from time to time. The key here is to acknowledge these feelings and eventually bring yourself back and re-establish your foundation; to be present and live in the moment.
Much like an electrical outlet, you need to recharge and “plug” yourself into the most natural source of energy available – the Earth. Earthing is one of the ways to ground one’s self, but if you’re unable to go outdoors, perhaps living in a high-rise building, or maybe travelling in a long flight, natural stone crystals can really come in handy during these situations.
