Grounding

Like trees, at every phase of growth we need to deepen our living connection to the earth. Grounding essence provides a healthy developmental blueprint for this process throughout childhood and adulthood. Drawing on nature’s wisdom and the gold of our ancestry, the essence helps us establish footholds for solid growth and development at any stage of life. Children require tremendous support and they seek their grounding through their parents. Adolescents begin to explore their independent roots as their budding potentialities emerge. Mature adults are able to express themselves confidently and interact in the larger world with ease and purposefulness. When we feel ungrounded during times of intense change because old hereditary patterns continue to dominate or we are moving into unprecedented areas, the essence will calm and center us by helping us feel the nourishing vitality and support of the living earth beneath our feet.
