Balancing and letting the earth give you support. I practice this type of balancing every time I feel out of control or off balance.
Peace, Love, and Light,

Earth’s Support

You may notice emotional swings today that could leave you feeling unsettled. Your feelings may be a reaction to problems in your home environment. If your emotions seem to affect those around you, you might want to work on becoming grounded today. When you start to feel anxious, you can find a place to sit quietly in a comfortable cross-legged position on the floor. Try feeling the base of your spine connecting to the earth and then imagine your spine growing roots into the ground beneath you, giving you the support you need. As you inhale you can picture strength coming up through your roots and taking hold in your body. On each exhale visualize your negative emotions releasing into the earth. You may notice your sense of well-being grow while using this grounding technique.

Being grounded gives us the balance we need to cope with emotional fluctuations throughout the day. During our daily routine we are often in our heads and allow our emotions to get the better of us. When we are moody life seems out of kilter and the smallest thing can ignite feelings of anxiety. By taking time to consciously become grounded, we create the means to support our emotions. Drawing strength from the solidity of the earth lets us cope with whatever uncomfortable feelings arise, which gives us a greater ability to ride out the problems we encounter. As you ground yourself today, you will learn to access the infinite resources for balancing your emotions that are available to you.
