finding grounding

[juni]

hi all,

not sharing essential love at first, but..

are you practizing any grounding techniques for not shiftig focus in a "minute like" -routine?

I am really airy and burning, very floating in extremes.

 

tried:

*breath work meditation

*feeling feet, running always barefoot

*wearing crystal, such as rubin, red jaspis,..

*tried to focus on body, especially for ayurvedic types 

 

realized the same effect on fruits as leo, to get very frustrated and sleepy. -crappy supermarket food

I need the ground, but living in Berlin, where nature is rare as fuck.

 

love us, juni

The worst things to unground me are screens (phone, PC, tv, whatever) and headphones. Do a dopamine detox for an entire day, only books and journaling with pen and paper then tell me if you didn't felt a lot better. 

Also: exercise, long walks, Hatha yoga, bioenergetics etc.

The options you tried are the most common suggestions but are also too basic for someone who needs real grounding.

sounds really advisable! I am always recognizing how badly screens are working on me.

Thanks lot for confirmation, will do this.

Things I found to be helpful in the past:

- Yoga for my Ayurveda type (Vata) - good book by david frawley out there
- Feldenkrais
- doing Somatic Experiencing
- educate myself about trauma
- Trauma release exercises
- "Wheel of Awareness" by Daniel Siegel
- not doing breathwork, not too much meditation or mindfulness or yoga or "energy work"
