I've been taught and believe "the deeper you ground, the higher you fly". So, grounding is the term we use to describe bringing our spirits fully back into our body.
Grounding is very simple. Call your spirit back into your body by concentrating on your body. Maybe one of the most common methods is to bring your focus to your breath. Focusing on the in and out of breathing, the natural rhythm of being alive, can bring you back and bring peace and calmness. Concentrating on your breath just 5 or 10 minutes a day can ground you and bring a stillness that is so often overlooked.
One method I've found is beginning with my toes and quietly feeling the sensation of energy from my toes, up my feet, and slowly working through my whole body until it reaches the tip of my head. Physically grounding to the earth is also helpful. I personally try to put my bare feet in the grass at least two or three times a week. I also lay in the grass and do what are called slow angels. Much like the snow angels one would create as a child, lay on your back and slowly, very slowly, move your arms and legs from center out as far as they can extend. Hold that position for a little bit and then come slowly back in. These are great exercises for stretching as well. It has also been proven that people who can get up and down off the ground with the minimum number of touch points live longer. I think it helps you live better.
You can also stand with your feet planted on the ground and imagine roots growing from your feet and reach deep into the core of the Earth, creating a stable base just like a tree.
Grounding on a regular basis will keep you out of your head and help keep your spirit centered so you can face life with stability and fly higher.
How do you get grounded? Let us know.
-Bill Pautler, Founder of SageLife
]]>For over ten years, our founder ran a spiritual book club and learned as much as possible about the Divine. The more he read, the more he began to believe that the core spiritual message to man from the divine is all the same. The desire to use apparel to bring a message of awareness was placed into his heart and the idea of SageLife was born. Looking back on it now, it is no surprise that "starting a t-shirt company" was on his bucket list from a very early point in life.
SageLife is about crafting our lives from within, from our soul wisdom. Living life by design and not by default. Standing in the silence, in the darkness, in full awareness. Standing in love, not in fear. Recognizing that each of us is a spark of the Divine. Wearing apparel that helps us identify our herd. Wearing apparel that reminds ourselves of who we really are and being bold enough declare it to the world.
