4 Techniques to Ground Yourself By Element!

The idea of being “grounded” may give you uncomfortable memories of being a child and having a privilege taken away. It’s not something you wanted, and you might even have resented it. However, the grounding you’ll learn about today has nothing to do with being sent to your room and everything to do with returning to yourself and your physical body in the present moment.

Grounding, or earthing, is a strategy that helps you reconnect to the earth and bring calm and balance to your body. While this might sound like pseudoscience, research has yielded many benefits of the practice. In the following short video, you’ll learn about the science of grounding as well as the many health benefits of taking the time to do this every day. 

You can even customize your grounding practice to your Zodiac sign. Whether you’re an Earth sign, Air sign, Fire sign, or Water sign, there’s a grounding practice that just might be perfect for you. Let’s take a look at some ideas of how to ground based on your astrological sign.

  • Place your bare feet on the dirt.
  • Get your hands dirty gardening.
  • Bring houseplants and greenery into your home or office.
  • Use a zen sand garden at your office desk.
