]]> With everything going on around the world including the protests and the pandemic, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and stressed. Next time you feel anxious, you can engage in a simple practice to bring you back to the present moment. The technique is called grounding and it brings you to the here and now to help you focus on your surroundings by engaging your five senses. Here’s how to use the grounding technique.

Step 1: What Do You See?

Next time you feel overwhelmed, focus on what’s around you. Sight is the easiest sense to focus on so it’s a good place to start. Say what you see out loud or in your head or write it down. Stay attuned to colors, textures, and focal points like walls or trees.

COVID has got us on pins and needles as we look for our new benchmark – businesses are restructuring, pausing and even closing down in some scenarios due to the uncertainty of what’s to come. After three months of quarantine you may still be trying to keep up with your pre-Corona expectations for yourself, but this time can bring you to the same point that businesses are at – taking an internal pause to reevaluate and let yourself be guided by something other than the repetitive and limiting thoughts in your mind. Give yourself permission to root down and operate from a space of clarity. There are many meditation tools that can help, and knowing where to start can be overwhelming. Or maybe you’re interested in figuring out which techniques are best for your kids. Message me to to get a free step-by-step guide on where to start your journey.

Step 2: What Do You Feel?

Start by touching your wrist or arm and then identify how the parts of your body are feeling. Are your shoudlers relaxed, is your jaw clenched, are your muscles tensed?

My favorite stones for meditation and centering myself. When I mediate on clear quartz, I focus on clarity and my intentions. (To make sure Im actually being honest with myself) Amethyst for “thinking higher” and trying to shift my perspective on the bigger picture. Tigers Eye, I’ve always been drawn to by the colors. I focus on courage through doubts and insecurities. . . . . . #igers #crystalhealing #crystals #clearquartz #amethyst #tigerseye #grounding #centering #meditation #getaholdofyourself #auracleansing #chakrabalancing #energyhealing #mindsetiseverything #takingcontrol #gaywitch #blackwitchesofinstagram #naturalalternatives #itworksforme #instadaily #vibrationalenergy #myspiritualpath #mentalhealth #bipolarawareness #groundingtechniques #todaywasagoodday #ingoodspirits #inmyhand #positivevibes

Step 3: What Do You Hear?

Focus on birds chirping, the wind blowing, or the air conditioning to bring yourself back to the present moment. You can also try playing a calming song and identifying the different instruments in it.

Step 4: What Do You Smell or Taste?

Keeping a candle by your bed or eating your favorite snack when you’re feeling stressed can help you get out of an anxious state. If you’re having trouble sleeping, keep some essential oils in your bedroom that you can sniff to relieve stress.

These bottles of plant magic have been by my side 24/7 during all the crazy these past few months and the support has been life changing! I don’t like to play favorites, but I threw my favorite single oil and my favorite blend together in a roller bottle and the results have been magic ✨ Frankincense my favorite single oil – just look up the properties and be amazed. This oil keeps me grounded through it all and calm when I need it most. Perfect for when mama needs a minute to bring everything back to center! Valor- the blend of all blends- another calming oil, but this one may make you feel like you can conquer the world. A great smell accompanied by a confidence boost, you can’t beat it! Perfect for social situations after months of hanging out with your toddled and only your toddler. ? I’m so glad to have these tools that I reach for on the daily. What have been your quarantine essentials lately? #allnaturalliving #younglivingoils #crunchymama #allnaturaleverything #healthymind #groundingenergy #positivemama #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #momlife #aintnohoodlikemotherhood #momminainteasy #essentials #essentialoils #calmmindcalmbody #calmmama #groundingtechniques #groundingmyself #staygrounded #staycentered #naturallifestyle #frankincense #stressmanagement #stressrelief

Step 5: Breathe!

Pay attention to your inhales and exhales and notice the sounds and smells around you.

✨Grounding techniques for reconnecting mind-body connection ✨ . [Save post]
.
Yoga poses and breathing techniques can be very beneficial for people who may be working through emotional pain. . For those who go through a process of reliving past hurt, one of the ways we try to ‘survive’ or cope is by disassociating ourselves with how we feel and sometimes the mind may feel disconnected to the body to self-protect and simply not ‘feel’. . To redevelop that healthy relationship of mind-body connection, grounding poses such as seated meditations and standing grounding yoga poses help us bring awareness to reconnect with our body and feel grounded to the here and now.

Here’s a little exercise to try:
.
- Pick a standing yoga pose
- Lengthen your spine and stand tall – Relax your shoulders – Relax your facial muscles – Breathe in for 4 counts, exhale for 6 counts – Take 6 conscious breathes to calm your mind – Do a body scan starting from your head all the way down to your toes – Then bring your awareness to your toes and feet, noticing how it supports you to maintain balance in your pose – Start to let go of tension as you scan each part of your body – Say a prayer and take a moment to show gratitude for each part of your body that helps you function every day

Repeat exercise daily
