grounding

 Today I went to our location for our re-connection meet up. When creating re jewellery one of our values is about connection, connection to the earth, ourselves and each other so i wanted to create a community that reflects that. Re-connection is a Facebook group (you can join here) that allows like-minded high vibe people to connect, master their mindset and become the best versions of themselves. I give journal prompts, meditations, topics to focus on and ways to elevate ourselves and offer meet ups so we can connect in person. 

We are having our first ever meet up in a ew weeks and today I went to the location where we will be walking and meeting we will begin the meet with a meditation focused on grounding. Today my beautiful friend guided that meditation and it was so deeply grounded. Being out in the forest elevated it completely because I really felt like my roots were deep in the ground. Then it got me thinking about grounding and I decided to write a blog post about grounding. 

When I started making jewellery, quit my job and started my new venture - there were times when I have been so un-grounded. My head has been up in the sky dreaming of future goals, feeling out of my comfort zone so I haven’t calm and rooted and taking risks that have lead me to feel anxiety and fear. There has been times where I have been really disconnected in what I wanted and who I was in this business because  I wasn’t present and didn’t have faith in my own creative spark and ideas. 

I listened to soo much outside noise, opinions and lacked confidence in my own ideas and my own creativity but I am finally feeling rooted and grounded in myself that my ideas, my dreams and my plans are become real and I feel so excited and happy in where I am going. 

Grounding yourself is said to:

• Increase blood flow 
• Anxiety relief 
• Improved sleep
•  Stress reduction 
• Better understanding of ourselves and handle our emotions 
• Reduce fatigue 
• Deeper connected to yourself and nature 

Here are ways you can stay grounded:

Go bare foot outside and spend time in nature:

going bare foot outside, feeling the grass, the soil and the ground beneath you allows you to feel completely connected to the earth beneath you and in turn grounds you. sometimes standing outside and imagining roots going from your feet deep into the earths centre is such a  beautiful way to feel grounded.

Do a grounding meditation:

Wearing green/earthy colours:

wearing earthy colours can help you create a sense of connection to the earth which helps you feel all round more grounded. 

here are some of our green pieces that are inspired by the earth and I wear to help keep me grounded and feel a deeper connection to the earth. 

we are in the midst of creating a collection that is inspired by the roots of the earth and grounding.

Tree pose - yoga:

doing the tree pose and grounding through one foot and lifting through the crown of the head, you create both physical balance and mental stillness. this helps you invites calm and clarity during times when you may feel unsettled. 

 

Deep breathing:

deep breathing sends signals to your body that it is time to relax, slow down, and be calm. this helps reduce your anxiety and stress levels, allows you to be more clear headed and everything around you be more clearer and helps you deal with situations and emotions way better.

there are so many deep breathing techniques you can find and find the one that is for you, there are so many different styles. 

I find the one that works best for me is:

breathe in for 5 seconds, hold for 5, breathe out for 8 and then hold for 5.

deep breathing really helps me if I feeling high anxiety or if I can feel a panic attack coming on - it helps me feel so grounded and helps me connect to myself and calms my mind and my body. 

let this be your reminder to go outside, get grounded and connect with nature. grounding will help you emotionally, creatively and clear your head, help know who you really are and connect deeply with yourself. 

I cannot wait to share more details with you about the meet up. i am beyond exicted to connect with beautiful souls.
