The Teahouse of Grounding
Grounded is not heavy, it’s steady.
It’s the knowing that you are here, and here is enough.
Groundedness is the feeling of belonging to your body, to the moment, to the Earth beneath you.
It’s a sense of rooted presence, not because everything is perfect, but because you’re connected to what is real.
It comes when you slow down.
When you feel your breath in your belly.
When you remember: *this moment is mine to stand in.*
Groundedness says:
“You are safe enough to feel.”
“The sky may move, but your feet are planted.”
“Let the moment hold you.”
What Is Groundedness Trying to Tell You?
- You’ve been scattered and now you're returning to center.
- Not everything must be fixed to be inhabited.
- Your body is a home, not just a vehicle.
- The present is trustworthy, even if uncertain.
Invite Groundedness in for Tea
It may come slowly, like moss, like stone.
It won’t rush. It won’t insist.
But when it settles, it helps everything else settle too.
Ask it:
“Where are my feet?”
“Can I be with this moment, exactly as it is?”
“What part of me is already home?”
Groundedness isn’t passive.
It is the strength of presence, the weight of wisdom held in stillness.
“To stand still is to move with the Earth.”
