Grounding: Coming back to your body
After deep meditation, strong breathwork or emotional work, grounding brings you back. Feet on the floor, a glass of water, a slow breath.
Any practice that moves a lot of energy (deep meditation, breathwork, shadow work) can leave you feeling floaty. Grounding brings you back into your body:
- Press your feet firmly into the floor
- Drink a glass of water
- Eat a small snack
- Hold a grounding stone like smoky quartz or black tourmaline
- Stand barefoot on grass or soil
- Breathe slowly and say: "I am here. I am in my body. I am safe."
Helps with
- Feeling spacey
- After deep practice
- Anxious moments

After your next meditation, press your feet into the floor and name five things you can see.
Meditation and breathwork are safe and helpful for most people, but not medical treatment. If a practice brings up distress, stop and ground yourself. People with a history of trauma, dissociation or psychosis may do best practicing with guidance from a qualified professional.
