Often the stress, emotional needs, and intellectual requirements of our days become so overwhelming that we feel disconnected from not only the present moment, but even our own bodies and minds. Grounding yourself can help you feel more calm, centered, and peaceful and reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and even bring better focus and thinking to the mind.

This exercise takes grounding very literally and helps you imagine you’re a tree, metaphorically reconnecting you to the earth that we are all always a part of.
