Grounding

When did you last feel properly here?

Not planning, not scrolling, not rehearsing a conversation. Just here, in your body, in this actual day.

Grounding is not a mood; it's a return. Most spiritual overwhelm is simply too much opening with not enough closing. If you feel scattered after practice, you don't need more practice — you need to land.

Being present in your own life instead of hovering above it.

Using heaviness as safety and calling it groundedness.

• Feet flat, five slow breaths, name five things you can see.

• Cold water on wrists after any opening practice.

• Eat something warm and put your hands in soil or water.

• What is my body telling me that I've been talking over?

• Where do I leave, and what am I leaving?

• What does 'here' feel like today?
