As children, we may have been told (and may or may not have believed) that we are being grounded because we were bad, yet it is highly likely that in fact we only said or did something that is deemed bad. Many children are not taught this fine distinction. You are naughty vs. your behavior is naughty. Another interpretation of being or getting grounded? Being held – perhaps by an authority figure – who is trying to help us establish safety (or healthy roots) and good citizenship in the family and community. Relatives, teachers, mentors and friends can have a very grounding influence.

     An airplane is most often grounded to ensure public safety. School teachers may report to parents of calm, rational or ‘easy’ students that ‘Peter’ or ‘Marie’ is so grounded, and a joy to have in class. Self-grounded kids don’t generally disrupt the class outrageously or breach the boundaries of the kind social contract which we all learn to one degree or another. To be identified as grounded is often a compliment, especially when the recipient has acquired a certain level of status or fame. 

    In the realm of leadership (and perhaps electricity) being grounded affords confidence that the ‘powerful one’ won’t blow up and scorch those being led and served…they will do their job and ‘stay real’, not letting the power go to their heads or turn into a problem bigger than the issue they are supposed to resolve. That third prong on a three-pronged plug provides an alternate pathway for electricity in the event of a fault. You defeat the safety feature if you cut the third prong off a plug. It is important to ground a jumper cable before charging a car or truck battery, to return current to the minus terminal of the battery and prevent a potential explosion. Grounding is most often about keeping everyone and everything in their most useful, functional, safe, and effective role, keeping an eye on safety with an eagle’s view of the well-being of the individuals and family or commonwealth. Nobody’s safety is served when a bully holds someone down so they appear weak or defeated.  

     Be kind to yourself, and gentle in your practice. In meditation, it is important to sit quietly and still to realize the benefits of consciously choosing to connect with the energy vibration, mysterious intelligence, and perfect pace of creation itself. Invisible energy creates immense worlds and every tiny detail within them – and within you.  Meditation is grounding and calming. Consistent daily practice is far more beneficial than erratic on-again-off-again practice. Be still and know. If you are just beginning, gradually work up to 30 minutes a day. If you are in the midst of a health or other crisis, more is better.
