Ever feel like life is moving too fast, your mind is racing, and you can’t seem to focus? That’s a sign you need grounding—a way to reconnect your body, mind, and spirit to the present moment. Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, or just feeling a little “off,” grounding techniques can help bring you back to center.
Let’s break down some of the best ways to ground yourself, plus a few of my favorite tools from Tangled Roots Herbal to make it even easier.
Easy Grounding Techniques
1. Walk Barefoot (Earthing)
One of the simplest ways to ground is to get your feet on the earth. Walk barefoot on grass, dirt, or sand to physically connect with the Earth’s energy. This helps stabilize your energy, calm your nervous system, and even improve mood.
👉 Try This: If it’s too cold to go barefoot, stand outside for a few minutes with your hands on a tree or stone to absorb that grounding energy.
2. Breathwork for Stability
Your breath is one of the fastest ways to shift your energy and ground yourself. A simple practice is box breathing:
-
Inhale for 4 counts
-
Hold for 4 counts
-
Exhale for 4 counts
-
Hold for 4 counts
This calms your mind and brings you back to the present.
👉 Bonus Tip: Pair your breathwork with an herbal grounding tea blend (like one with chamomile and mugwort) to enhance the effect.
3. Carry or Wear Grounding Crystals
Crystals work by stabilizing and balancing energy, making them an easy go-to for grounding. Some of my favorites include:
🔮 Black Tourmaline – Removes negativity and anchors energy. 🔮 Smoky Quartz – Transmutes stress into calm energy. 🔮 Hematite – Helps with mental clarity and protection.
👉 How to Use: Hold one in your hand, keep one in your pocket, or wear it as jewelry for all-day grounding support.
4. Herbal Allies for Grounding
Herbs have been used for centuries to calm the mind and body. Here are a few that help with grounding:
🌿 Mugwort – Clears mental fog and strengthens intuition. 🌿 Vetiver – A deeply grounding root that soothes nerves. 🌿 Cedar & Sage – Used in smoke cleansing to remove chaotic energy.
👉 Try This: Burn a grounding incense or use an herbal spray (like our Shaman’s Dawn Protection Spray) when you feel scattered.
5. Mindful Movement (Yoga & Stretching)
Sometimes, the best way to get grounded is to get into your body. Simple yoga poses like Mountain Pose, Child’s Pose, or even just stretching can help shift your energy downward and out of your head.
👉 Tip: Add an essential oil like Vetiver or Cedarwood to your pulse points before movement for deeper grounding.
