Grounding Techniques
Grounding is a CRITICAL Empath skill.
When you are grounded, you feel:
- Deeply connected to yourself.
- At peace with everything around you.
Here are some very effective groundind techniques that I use every day!
- Eating: This is a delicious way to stay grounded as long as you pay attention to the food your eating! So pick something you really like and bring it along. The process of eating is ground, and so is digesting. You're less likely to be reading other people in restaurants
- Wear a crystal: I have at least 10 different crystal pendants (rose quartz, lapis, danburite, moldovite, etc). When I go out, I pick a pendant to wear (even before I pick my clothes!).
To find a crystal that is grounding, you can follow the instructions in this forum topic on the Empath Community:

- Wash your hands: I get the urge to wash my hands when I go to people that are tricky to deal with. It's a great way to make sure their energy is not sticking to you and keep your own energy flowing.
- Use visualizations: Imagine that you are growing roots from the bottom of your soles (or soul ;). The roots keep reaching deeper in the earth. They're flexible too, so that you can lift your feet and the root follow you. Try it at home first then you'll be able to do it while you carry on a conversation too!
For every exercise, I recommend that you practice it for at least 24 hours.
My official motto is quite simple: If it feels better, keep doing it!
