What Is Grounding?

Grounding is connecting your energy to the earth. We do this for a few reasons. Sometimes you can have an excess of energy that can be a bad thing, and in that case you would want to ground it out. You also need to ground at times when you feel too spacey and like you can't focus on anything. Grounding can help if you meditate often because it can bring you back to earth.

I've noticed especially air signs tend to need grounding more often. If your Sun, Moon, or Ascendant signs are air signs you may find that you need to ground a lot more than others. There are some signs you can look to in order to find out if you need to ground.

Signs that you need to ground:

• Feeling spacey
• Having  trouble staying focused
• Day dreaming a lot
• Feeling floaty
• Trouble with taking care of life responsibilities

How To Ground

To use these crystals to ground, you just take the crystals in your hands and stand or sit on the ground. You can also wear the crystals in a necklace. A technique that I like to do is to is to sit cross-legged on the ground and place the palms of my hands on the ground. You will feel the effect almost immediately. It's a very sobering feeling. You will feel better after you do this.
