How to Incorporate Grounding Into Your Daily Routine
What is Grounding?
In electrical terms, it is a conducting connection between an electric circuit and the Earth or some other conducting bodies. In psychological terms, it is a feeling of self-awareness and is the very foundation of the consciousness of one's own self. Francesca McCartney, the author of Intuition Medicine the Science of Energy states energetic grounding means to "establish a connecting awareness in the unity of body, mind, and spirit". Just as a surge protecter directs excess energy into a grounding circuit and down into the Earth where it is neutralized, establishing an energetic grounding connection allows excess or aberrant energy that enters your personal space to be released and neutralized back into Earth.
When you create a strong grounding connection, you provide yourself with a stable base from which to operate in the world. Most people operate with an inconsistent grounding connection. The first step in learning to ground more consistently is to become aware when you are ungrounded. Below I have provided a list of of how to feels to be grounded and ungrounded.

Grounding energy follows feeling
You may also try feeling that you are grounded
Experiment with psychometry by using your hands to feel your connection to earth with the energy through your hands
Earth takes away energy that is out of harmony with who you are, and you receive energy from earth that is nurturing and protective
Add sound “om” or “love” to enhance this connection
Grounding Energy Follows Visualizations
Energy follows thought, affirmation, intention, & visualization
Think, affirm, intent, & visualize you are grounded to earth
Whenever you want to be grounded, using specific visualizations helps you remain grounded
