Symptoms From A Lack of Grounding

Present-day lifestyles leave us very little room to connect with the earth. We used to spend time on farms and forests or doing manual work. Today we live in high rise buildings, everything is mechanized, and it may be weeks to years before you visit earth again. This type of present day living leaves our lower chakras extremely starved. So what are the signs that we need grounding? 

Feeling Spaced Out

An extreme lack of grounding leaves one feeling spacey and disoriented, almost like it is impossible to think. Being absent-minded is often a direct result of feeling spaced out, and one might end up repeatedly misplacing things, losing track of what one was just saying or doing, and forgetting important tasks. Another way this can manifest it when ends up bumping into objects repeatedly.

Hard to Be Effective

If you are finding it hard to concentrate on anything, you are ungrounded. This includes a lack of being able to focus on work and on conversations. Mundane tasks seem meaningless and unnecessary. Feeling tired all the time, and even more so when work needs to be done, is another clear sign.

Cannot Make Decisions

A strong, stable root chakra gives one a good grip on the ground realities. Without this, it becomes very difficult to have confidence in one’s decisions.

Erratic Sleep

Too much energy in the upper chakras affects sleep. One might find changes in sleep patterns, lying wide awake at night for hours, or sleeping incessantly, if grounding is weak. Falling asleep during meditation is another common symptom.

Weak Digestion

A sudden lack of grounding can leave a person without any desire to eat, sometimes for weeks. Digestion needs downward moving energies, and when there is too much energy in the upper chakras and none in the lower ones, the body is incapable of processing any food. In contrast, when a person can eat large amounts of food and still remain skinny, that also indicates a lack of grounding – the body is unable to absorb any nutrients from the food due to lack of energy.

So what can you do... Get outside.

I suffer with plantar fasciitis and concussion symptoms. I walk in my bare feet in our yard daily. Crazy as this sounds, it’s the only time my feet do not hurt. It’s the only time have I clarity and freedom from my symptoms. This feeling will last for a good 12 to 24 hours until I am outside again. 

Maybe you can’t walk barefoot. Then sit in the grass. Plant your feet on the ground for as long as you can and feel the difference.

🙏🏼 Have a great day and I’ll see you outside.
