It’s connecting with the ground or earth.

It has a calming effect, like walking bear feet.

Yea I think it connects you to reality… Like when your caught in emotions and thinking your not really connected to the world but to you thoughts and emotions?? Maybe grounding brings you back to the present moment and calms you down …

Yeh I thought it meant like a reality check.

But I dunno wat kind of reality check.

Like maybe it’s all kinds if reality checks.

Even walking on earth could be, barefoot

Okay yea… Like stop ruminating or stopping worrying about the future. Just being mindful of the present. Got it

I think of it as bringing oneself to safety…sort of how you ground yourself by having contact with a safe object when dealing with an electrical current.
