For years, we have known about the physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of meditation. Grounding is a similar practice of calming the nervous system, emerging from several areas of study, including somatic trauma-healing therapies. Quite literally, energy seeks ground. Any practice that gives you space to breathe, pause, reflect, and feel supported helps you encourage collaboration with others. Learning requires more than just intellectual analysis and fact memorization. A felt sense of calm encourages innovation. Imagine grounding as a way to calm our fight/flight/freeze response, which is often on alert, even when threat is no longer present.
