Why grounding is so important

Taking a moment to clear your mind and ground yourself is nothing new, especially for those that make time for spiritual practices in their daily life. However, when you're stressed about the future the last thing you are is grounded or calm, and this can cause problems with your reading.

Whether you have burning questions about your love life, or the state of your finances and career are keeping you up at night, by the time you're reaching out to a tarot reader, you're nervous system is likely riddled with anxiety.

This is completely understandable, but the truth is that it can negatively impact your reading. For those trying to read their own cards, it can render a clear lay-out impossible to understand, which is to be expected. What you might not realize, though, is that it could skew your understanding of a reading, no matter how experienced of a professional your tarot reader is.

Being in a receptive place mentally is essential for those seeking true spiritual wisdom about their life. The more grounded you are, the easier it will be for you to grasp the truths presented to you, and to decide how to best proceed in your situation.

Of course, staying grounded when you need answers can be incredibly difficult. So take a moment to give yourself grace if you're struggling. Also, being open to new or unique ways of getting grounded before a reading can help. Many recommend meditating or taking a few deep breaths, but those options don't always work for everyone.

Sometimes trying yoga poses, like a downward dog or forward fold, (both of which force you physically to look at things from a different perspective) can be incredibly grounding. Smelling a scented candle, essential oils or another one of your favorite scents is another amazing option for calming down. Doing a brief but intense workout, doing a needle craft hobby or snuggling with a pet are all other great grounding activities that don't always get mentioned in the context of spiritual grounding despite their effectiveness for helping you relax.

No matter how you choose to get into the right headspace for a reading, being just a little bit calmer before hand can increase your receptivity, and ultimately help you get so much more out of your message. This is why I always take a moment with each of my clients to relax, take a deep breath, and focus on intent before beginning a reading.

As always, I wish you peace on your spiritual path,
