Sustainable Grounding Practices

When I began my spiritual development in January 2019, I think I googled the heck out of the internet trying to understand what grounding is. It wasn't meant for me to find out from the internets so everything worked out. However, if you're finding this video, THIS right here is meant to be.

​Hi, my name is Krisell Valenzuela. I’m the multi-dimensional medium, Akashic Records reader, energy healer, and spiritual development coach behind www.krisellcan.com. So today, I want to talk to you about grounding. What does grounding mean? What are grounding practices that you can take on? I started off my practice of grounding, in psychic development in general, using meditation as a form of grounding. As I’ve gone on my development journey, what I’ve realized and what it really took is understanding: what is grounding? Grounding practices can be anything because grounding is having an understanding, basis or foundation in who you are, where you are, what you came here to do. So at the core of it, its being rooted. It is knowing your environment. Let’s dig into that a little more. How to ground is about rooting yourself and having a foundation in something. I think if you look it up in Merriam Webster grounding says it’s having a basis in something. And so you can be grounding in many different experiences. And so your practice could evolve or be a chameleon for whatever that situation is. Some of the really common grounding practices, I started off doing meditation and a simple grounding meditation is to visualize roots growing from your body into the earth helping you anchor yourself into this earthly experience. And that is really helpful, especially when you are getting astral (astral traveling to other dimensions). Because you came into this 3D existence with purpose. Regardless of how many dimensions you go into, it’s important to know that hey! we are here, right here, right now in this dimension with a purpose. Other grounding practices could be earthing. Whether it be gardening, hugging a tree, or being barefoot on the earth. I like to think of other grounding experiences in terms of what helps me feel and connect into being human here on earth. Exercising is really helpful. Eating. (laughs) I don’t know about you but, I often have days where I forget to eat my meals. And so, making sure that I’m eating my meals and not spreading them too far apart. To take care of my human responsibilities, whether it be to pay my bills. Call customer service and take care of whatever nonsensical human issue I have to take care of. Some people like to use their divination tools to help ground them. It really is up to you and depending on who you are. I challenge you, instead of jumping into any of these practices that I do and seeing how it works for you, I challenge you to think about what reminds you that you are human and that reminds you, you are physical. Think about what helps you feel grounded and anchored. And so whether that be hugging someone, spending time with fam and friends, or being outside and laying in the grass and staring at the sky. I challenge you to think of experiences that you can turn into rituals. I think that is so much more powerful than looking up a list and trying what someone else tells you to do. At the end of the day, you need to have a practice that you can do on a daily basis because grounding is a daily, it’s a daily ritual. It is a daily self-care practice.
