episode 17: simple grounding practices that bring you back — without force

Body Wisdom Rituals
Written By Dilshad Mehta

In this episode, I share simple, in-the-moment grounding practices and methods you can use anywhere to regulate your nervous system, reset, reconnect with yourself, or simply feel better.

I got tired of hearing the word grounding thrown around in self-development, yoga, and wellness circles—mostly because the techniques often made me feel worse. Once I understood grounding at its highest potential, it became one of my favorite mental, emotional, and spiritual health practices.

Here’s the outline:

  1. Why being grounded isn’t the same as being calm

  2. The different flavors of grounding — what no one talks about

  3. The truth about grounding: what it is and what it isn’t

  4. The highest expression of being grounded

  5. The basics of grounding everyone should know

  6. 9 grounding techniques to suit any preference

  7. Why we resist grounding even when we need it most
