How to Heal the Feeling of Being Ungrounded

Have you ever felt emotionally or spiritually drained, as if you have lost all of your energy? This feeling is known as being ungrounded, and it can be very disruptive to your daily life.

Being ungrounded means your connection with the earth has been disrupted, making it difficult to connect with others and find clarity in your thoughts.

What it Means To Be Ungrounded

Being ungrounded can refer to an array of feelings,, including feeling disconnected from yourself and the world around you, mentally foggy or physically drained, and having difficulty concentrating.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and those around you?

When someone is ungrounded, their energy is not adequately rooted in their body. Instead, it feels dispersed into the environment, resulting in feeling overwhelmed by their emotions or unable to focus on the tasks.

Causes of Ungroundedness

There are many potential causes of ungrounding. Some people may experience feelings of being ungrounded due to physical illness or nutrient deficiency. Other causes may include stress-related factors such as chronic anxiety or depression; environmental factors like pollution; or lifestyle choices such as overworking oneself or engaging in too much screen time without breaks for fresh air and nature walks.

Researchers have indicated that modern lifestyles may be an overlooked contributor to the rise in non-communicable, inflammatory-related chronic diseases.

Healing From Ungroundedness

Fortunately, there are many ways that you can heal from being ungrounded. One approach is through diet changes. Eating whole foods rich in vitamins and minerals can help restore balance and reduce inflammation caused by nutrient deficiencies. Learn more about what a well-balanced diet looks like here.

Additionally, engaging in physical activities like yoga or tai chi can help reconnect you with your body while providing relaxation benefits at the same time.

Step out into nature

Another way to heal from being ungrounded is through mindfulness practices that help bring awareness back into your life.  Mindfulness practices can range from guided meditations to journaling sessions that take you to a place of self-reflection and gratitude.

Spending more time outdoors surrounded by nature (such as taking daily walks) can also help bring peace back into your life while reestablishing a connection between yourself and the earth’s energy.

Biological Earthing is a technique that takes advantage of the earth’s electric charge, which plays a nurturing role for animals and plants. In its most natural form, a person can walk barefoot outdoors to have direct contact with natural conductive surfaces like grass, soil, gravel, stone, and sand.

A person can purchase Earthing systems, including conductive mats, pads, and body bands used while sitting or sleeping indoors. The purpose is to restore a primordial electric connection to the earth, which some researchers view as a cause of multiple health disorders.
