be more grounded

Whenever I walk outside I now only listen to the natural sounds. This has a grounding quality…

was the time my husband and I just talked about everything and anything. It was evening, the lights were dim, no music or tv was on. We listened to the wind going wild outside and drank tea.
It reminded me for some reason how my grandfather used to pull me on a toboggan. I would lie down covered with a blanket and looked at the stars, and the glistening snow mountains were passing me by. Maybe the sound of the wind brought back this memory? hmmmmm…

Yes, I have finally admitted to myself it’s time to quit fooling around and take this goal seriously. Meditation is the way to go. I will start with humility; 5 minutes a day.

One thing that was grounding me lately was caring after my avocado trees. For one, because they themselves are perfectly grounded and great to hang around and sharing wisdom. I have read that a shaman gardener from Mexico talked to his plants and trees and could feel when they needed water or stuff to grow. He also said that each plant has it’s own personality and sometimes doesn’t get along with other plants, to the point that it will decide to die out of pride! Insane, yes I know. But, I did have a few dreams about my avocado tree, especially when I was panicking because it wasn’t growing. I dreamed it had strong roots and a beautiful foliage. I felt some sort of serenity transmitted to me from that avocado tree and from then on I trusted it with my grounding. It actually is now 2 feet tall and quite leafy!

This Thursday I’m going to the beach!! What else could ground me more than being half naked on the ground, sprinkled with the ground (with the possibility of being buried in the ground if my husband will be present)Last days of sun must be fully appreciated.

i think i am. I’ve gotten more in tune with my rising-sign-capricorn-ness. i’ve become more conscious of the faxt that work and stability IS important to me. i’m identifying groundedness or a lack of in others. I know what it feels like to be grounded now. I used to wonder what it was. I just need to be balanced about it now, and live in my fiery space too.

I don’t know about the cleaning thing right now, but I almost think I’m too grounded right now. So I guess that means I’ve accomplished this one. Maybe it’s more about being balanced between spirit and earth. I’ve been almost bored in my homelife. things are so stable i almost don’t know what to do with myself. Is that grounded?

taking care of my surroundings is very grounding for me. spent most of saturday cleaning out my messy closet. had tons to donate and toss. yay!!!

I know I will never feel grounded 100%, I can be calm, but I know I am not grounded. I think it’s some kind of dissociative disorder? Dunno. I know I can think clearly, I feel all the normal range of emotions and my concentration is great, just something is missing. Surely one day I’ll find out what it is.

I think it’s working, I don’t know if it is the lack of music or just a slow paced environment, but I feel I’m coming back. I would be walking from work, and suddenly realise I’m here, present, and there is wind and birds signing… lovely
