The new grounding - part 1
The thing about grounding

My perspective about grounding started developing while working with highly sensitive persons (HSP), indigo and crystal children(18+). Now that  our consciousness is opening more widely and we start to connect with other parts of ourselves we have to redefine the meaning of grounding and the way it works.

In this article I will give a short view of the grounding problems I often meet in the human angels, as describes above: the very very sensitive ones.
In my following articles I will give more detailed information about the redefinition of grounding, starting  with explaining what I basically mean by grounding, up to ending the series of articles with the extended view of grounding, necessary now we are becoming more sensitive and opening multidimensional doors.

Let me first start with the basic definition most people give to the concept of grounding.
Years ago I learned that grounding simply had to do with energetically connecting your physical body to the ground. You connect your body to the earth energies. One way to make this work is to visualize roots growing out of your feet.

I soon found out there was more to it. When you have difficulty with grounding it always has to do with a lack of confidence. You don’t feel safe. Usually this means you don’t want to have anything to do with some part of yourself and your life. Not being able to handle this feeling of distrust, you will start to energetically disconnect your physical body from the ground. You will withdraw yourself energetically to the higher positions of your body, or even completely outside of your body.
For most people this means that you are energetically only present in your head. Therefore you think a lot. You worry a lot! You are only aware of and active inside of your head.

When you are a highly sensitive person, an indigo or crystal child you often have difficulty with grounding. Being highly sensitive means you are able to sense more detailed information than others, not only from the world surrounding us, but also from within ourselves.  Because of your sensitivity you often feel overwhelmed by the detailed information you are able to sense. This can lead to feelings of insecurity which often will lead to a lack of confidence.

When you, human angel, don’t ’know how to handle your high sensitivity, you will start looking for confidence outside yourself. You hope to find confidence in the world around you. But you start to lose connection with yourself, bringing your own energy more and more outside of your body!
You really hope your environment can help you to feel safe and gain trust and confidence again. But most people don’t understand your problems, they can’t help you. Therefore you won’t win trust but gain mistrust, feeling more and more unsafe.
You will keep doing what you taught yourself to do best when you didn’t feel safe: you withdraw your energies even more outside of your body, and problems will only accumulate. Now you are going around in circles.

To open up this difficult situation you need  to bring your attention back to yourself again. Learn to trust yourself again. Feel safe and confident in your own presence again. Grounding is inextricably related with this process of self healing and growing awareness.

Grounding works best when you love yourself. You, human being, need to love and feel confident in all parts of yourself. Your physical body, your emotional self, your social self, your mental self and your spiritual self.
Once you become aware you are spirit, pretending to be human, you need to learn to trust this part too. Then you can love your divine self. You will also be able the feel the unconditional love of spirit again. This will heal you too. It will help you to feel trust, be confident. It will  make you feel safe again.

In my next article I will write about what I basically mean by grounding. I will describe ways to become more grounded and ways to check whether you are grounded or not.
In the subsequent articles I will make clear why grounding is important now that we are and will become more highly sensitive. Furthermore I will write about the extended view of grounding, necessary now we are opening multidimensional doors.

For now you may want to start or continue your healing process, which will inevitably help you with grounding, by watching the following soundtrack on YouTube: How could anyone, Shaina Noll. This song has been a source of inspiration and healing for many people around the world.

Love and Light,

Marisa Evelo
