Groundedness - A way of life... 

Turn being grounded into an integrated part of your personality, behavioral patterns, emotional expression, relational dynamics, space holding, spiritual embodiment and awareness.

Groundedness - A life changing tool to maturity, compassion, empathy, inner peace and deep release.

We've all heared  about getting or being grounded but what does it actually mean? What does it imply? How do you access it? Why is it important?

Emotions & Groundedness.

We all have emotions. We've experienced when our emotions take over, take control of our behavior. Sometimes we go blind with rage hurting someone else in our tantrum. Sometimes we forget our adult age and we turn into the 5 year old that can't get an icecream. Jalousy can blindfold our eyes so we can't our active or non-active part in the relationship and you end up with violent outbursts of anger and rationality is forgotten. Love can blindfold us too making us fall in love with an illusion and a hopeless dream and leave us in an exaggerated pool of love without realism. Emotions can dominate our behavior in such ways that it becomes destructive patterns and we become EgoManiacs only concerned with our own feelings and needs. Emotions can cloudy our minds aso realism and rationality becomes distant shadows unable to speak any sense into our brain and gut. 

In tantric philosophy and Embodied Flow™ we are taught to attain and build up a containor, it is a way to hold yourself and at the same time have an awareness of the whole. With an embodiment of a containor we don't spill over, take our emotions out on others or steal/interrupt the moment from someone else. 

When we practice groundedness we can do: Feel, experience and keep the container all at once. This requires a willingness to learn and have a dedicated practice. 

The containor is linked to holding space. When we embody the contaianor we hold space for ourselves. Think about a cup full of mixed liquid. It needs a certain temperature not to freeze or boil over. You are that cup and your emotions the liquid.

An interesting question and a beautiful consequence of having and being aware of your own container:

 How can you hold space for others if you can't respectfully hold space for yourself? If you are a child when it comes to emotionally expressing your emotions how can you hold space for other "children", fearful people, traumatized persons, people that need counseling, therapy? When we are ungrounded we can reject, suppress or exaggerate our emotional experience. To embody shame fully and not dissociate, spill over, react, get violent, flee or freeze we must be grounded, deeply rooted down and vertical in our spine. Great healing can occur when we finally get solidly grounded.

We are not ever fully educated in groundedness. We will never be perfect, including your therapist. We are human and we will always be in process, development, transformation, regression, progression. But. We can create an awareness around the whole topic "Groundedness" and then embody it. In the practice of Embodiment and Groundedness it will become more and more of a default, what we automatically do in different situations, especially challenging situations.

We become vertical when we are grounded. Our spine become longer, and just like tree, the bigger and deeper the roots, the taller you get. Verticality and Groundedness are ways to mature and to become compassionate, clear and strong Human Beings, strong enough to deal with and face fear. We become Brave Hearts.

Spirituality & Release.

Release is a huge benefit in being and getting grounded. It means your root chakra is spinning and functioning. Deep release, fully letting go is not possible without a functioning root chakra or grounding channel. Spirituality and release go 100% hand in hand. If you dismiss spirituality your will only get so far. The lessons will come back to you over and over again manifested in different ways until you accept the bigger picture and fully embrace, understand and embody the fact that everything is energy.

During these two days we will go through different techniques from different Spiritual and Philosophical traditions. It is a spiritual fusion of traditions, energy work, yoga, somatic awareness and therapy. You will receive tools to access your roots and to get grounded.

This material can be used at home. The material is so vast that it is a whole eduaction, you will only receive a useful taste.

All yoga levels welcome.
