Benefits of Grounding & Centering

​The benefits of grounding and centering. Grounding and centering are basic topics in many circles and esoteric ​paths. However, I am not sure that we truly cover why grounding and centering is so important. Yes, immediate benefits of grounding and centering allows us to be present and mindful. What are the additional benefits?

Additional benefits of grounding and centering. It allows us to have a moment to take stock. To know how you are and where you are in all your four bodies of existence - physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Think of a map, grounding and centering is the red arrow that indicates “you are here”. Once we know where we are, we can decide where we want to go and how to get there.

​What is the quickest way to ground and center? I would suggest working with the five senses, as well as the sixth sense. Sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. Take a deep breath and see what is right in front of you.  Listen, to the sounds in your immediate environment. Can you smell anything? What are you touching and how does it feel? If you are eating, enjoy the full flavor. This allows for us to be present, and it grounds and centers us through the embodiment of consciousness. Additionally, relax and feel into your sixth sense – feel into your heart and your gut. As you relax into them, ask yourself, “What do I know?” Not “what do I think” … “What Do I Know”! 
​

​This is where you are and who you are – at this point in your journey. Next, where do you want to go, and what is the version of yourself that you would like to express? Write this down – these are your goals. Now we can take steps to reach these goals. Most problems have solutions – but we can’t always see the solution until we ground and center. This allows us to live a purposeful life – knowing who you are and where you are headed, as well as the steps to get there. 

Happy Grounding & Centering! Granddaughter Crow
