The Importance of being grounded

Let's face it, when we talk about spirituality and enlightenment we focus on our ability to transcend our earth-bound bodies and commune with whatever variety of the infinite we revere. To my mind, this is the most profound thing we do as humans--aside from bringing into the world and nurturing other humans.

Still, this noble pursuit doesn't change the fact that we are of the earth and without proper grounding you get to the place where I am now. My energy is zinging all over the place. This Thanksgiving I went to check on the sweet potatoes and tore the door off my mother's oven. The glass bowl on my new diffuser just broke for no reason. I dropped a plate last night and it shattered into thousands of pieces. I've never seen that happen before, ever.

So now I am starting a regimen to make sure that energy is well grounded. Every morning and every night I am going to do a few minutes meditation imagining my toes are rooting me deeply to the ground. That's what Lesi suggests. I'll let you know how it turns out.
