How to Ground and Raise Your Vibration

You have the power within you to raise your vibration any day or time that you want. Many people are not fully aware of the power they have within themselves and they allow circumstances and situations around them to shift their moods.

But life is not about “luck”, regardless of what you’ve been told. You are not a victim of the things that happen to you. You are not a puppet on a string or an actor following a script in a play. You have personal power, responsibility even, to lead your own path. Most people are simply not taught how.

Your energy controls your personal power. When we speak of “vibration”, this is what we are referencing. Your personal energy that you are sending out into the world is your vibration. And before you can step into your personal power, you need to learn how to control your energy. This is where grounding comes in.

What is Grounding?

What does it mean to ground yourself? This is a term you have likely heard before, but you may not know what it means. If you do, stick with us, because we’re going to explain more about how to ground in a bit.

Grounding is a practice of energetically connecting to your values, your inner self, your vision for your future and more. When you ground, you will be able to connect with your own energy, to check the temperature of your vibration.

If you’ve ever been in a situation where you felt very overwhelmed, frustrated, out of control, or like you might cry for no reason, you likely needed to ground. Grounding isn’t something you just do once and then forget about it.

As we go through the day and our normal activities, we will come across many people, places, and things that all have an energy to them as well. And sometimes those energies will seep onto ours. While you can learn more about protecting and warding yourself against these outside energies, there are still reasons to ground.

For example, if you get too caught up in the energy and the metaphysical, you may feel like you are going to “float away” or that you are not connected to earth or the things of earth. This can cause you to feel “spacey”, easily distracted, or cause you to have trouble with relationships or even with connecting to your own talents, abilities, and power.

How to Ground

Now that you know how important it is to ground, let’s discuss how you can do it. If you are the type of person who gets caught up in the specifics of doing things the “right” way, try to relax before grounding, or it will be counterproductive. There are no right or wrong ways to do it, but there are some techniques and methods that work well for others that you may want to try.

Here are some grounding techniques you can try for yourself:

• Find a hobby or activity that you love to do and spend some time with it – you may need to explore hobbies for a bit before you find one that helps you relax and recenter yourself.
• Go outside – regardless of the weather. Bundle up if it’s cold, get a hoodie or umbrella if it’s raining.
• Stop and count – Many people find a counting technique to be a good way to break free of other things going on around you and just go inward. Try counting to 10 and then counting backwards down to 1 again.
• Breathwork – There are specific techniques you can learn but to start with, just learn how to slow down and be mindful of the breaths you are taking. “Breathwork” as a term refers to any type of
• Eat grounding foods – eating seasonally can help you ground into the ebb and flow of the seasons. Here are also some specific foods that are believed to be more grounding than others, such as beets, carrots, ginger and other root vegetables.

Remember that if a particular grounding technique doesn’t work out well for you, then you can always try a different one. Keep trying until you find something that feels good for you.

What Is Your Vibration?

So, what do we really mean when we talk about your “vibration”? Your vibration is one way to describe your overall state of being. We know that the universe is full of energy. Everything and everyone around us have an energy of their own.

All of these energies vibrate at a different frequency. Even things that appear solid will vibrate at the quantum level.

If you dive even deeper, you will learn that we have different energy levels for our physical, mental, emotional, and our spiritual parts. All of these combined, make the whole of us. All vibrations operate at both high and love frequencies and you can find them all around you.

How to Raise Your Vibration

Now that you know what your vibration is, what are some things you can do to raise it? Here are a few ideas:

1. Learn to become conscious of your thoughts – Sometimes our thoughts just seem to happen or run away with us. But everything you think, say or feel becomes your reality.

5. Practice forgiveness – Forgiveness is something we do for us, not for the other person. It’s important to learn to practice true forgiveness in order to release yourself from negative emptions and
