GROUNDED WITH THE EARTH: RESPONSE INSTEAD OR REACTION

There are different ways to get grounded, and when we are in Nature, one way is to connect with the earth beneath your feet. In this way, you'll build a relationship between your body and NATURE, which ll enable you to calm down, slow down and make space for what is there thanks to her electric magnetic field. By using the sense of touch and sight, you ll get present. The more you get grounded, the more you ll feel present in the Now, and what else around you ll pass by , as a car in the street ,won't affect you that much. Nothing magical, but all is possible to get by practice and in your daily life. I encourage you, when trying this short eco somatic practice, to remember what sensations will emerge and where in your body, so to get back to it anytime you ll need to be on " your roots" and slow down, but outdoor nature is not available
