Why Traditional Grounding DOESN’T Work During Spiritual Awakening (& Why Its Vital For Ascension)
If you’re reading this article its likely that you’ve discovered exactly what I did – that grounding either doesn’t work, doesn’t last or actually makes our symptoms worse during the awakening process.
Grounding doesn’t work, doesn’t last or makes our symptoms worse during the awakening process.
Seriously, we need to get honest about this. When was the last time that you used a crystal or incense or a meditation that truly centered, calmed and stabilized you? Have you ever really felt the noticeable relief that should come from your energies being fully grounded in just a few seconds? Has any grounding method ever comforted and calmed you, bringing your focus back to the present? If you’re going through the ascension process, I’m betting that you haven’t, and there’s a reason why, specific to light workers like you and I, which I’ll get to in just a moment, but first, the basics…
What Does Grounding Actually Mean?
Lets start by covering what grounding actually is, in its simplest term.
Grounding is the practice of being fully present and alert in our physical body.
Its the process of connecting to our surroundings and keeping our focus on the physical reality (which is where we should be, but often as light workers, aren’t). We’ve been taught to embrace the spiritual and completely disregard the physical in order to ascend. This does us a massive disservice because it limits our mastery of the energies of this physical plane, causing us to be able to connect to the spiritual, but largely unable to manifest it here in the physical world. Its a vital part of the ascension journey to master BOTH the physical and the spiritual in order to be an Earth bound channel for the Unconditional love and light to radiate through. Worse still, due to the heightening nature of awakening, we often become ungrounded very quickly (this can last months or years) and perpetuates long term symptoms like anxiety, fear and nervousness that can make awakening unbearable.
Being Ungrounded Causes NASTY Symptoms
Lets start by taking a look at the most common symptoms of awakening (the ones that no one ever really talks about):
- Highly sensitive and emotional
- Feeling anxious or panicked
- Extremely high empathy – picking up everyone else’s ‘stuff’
- Feeling completely overwhelmed
- Feeling crazy or questioning your sanity
- Psychic senses out of control, intrusive or frightening
- Mental health concerns
- Physical difficulties – aches, pains, fatigue, brain fog
- Unable to ground your energy
Please note, you may have all or only a few of these symptoms – everyone’s awakening is different.
Our 7 day energy healing course, ’Grounded Awakenings’ can help with this.
Grounding Eases The Most Difficult Aspects Of Spiritual Awakening
I’ve really had a powerful sense of purpose since discovering how amazingly transformative energy grounding can be on awakening. It boggled my mind that this knowledge wasn’t known or shared with the people who needed it most.
Take a look at some of the benefits of grounding your spiritual awakening with effective (not traditional) methods:
- Reduced anxiety/ overwhelm – This is a common symptom, created only from too much influx of energy in a body that can’t ground it. It creates a feeling of anxiety, burn out and overwhelm.
- Balanced, functional psychic/ intuitive abilities – Perhaps you’ve noticed that you’re super sensitive. Too much energy opens psychic and energetic channels that we haven’t gained proper control of yet. Grounding allows us to learn HOW to discover and UTILIZE the gifts we have in a healthy balanced way.
- Improved cognitive function – When you’re too ungrounded your brain literally can’t catch up. There’s too much spiritual and energetic information coming into the system that it can’t process, put into order, or make sense of. Grounding allows your brain an opportunity to process all of the changes on the physical level and this helps us to fully understand the journey in a way that makes sense in normal daily life.
- Reduced emotional turmoil/ triggering – Emotions run high during awakening. It seems around every corner is another trigger, drawing up fear and intense emotions. The higher you go, the more density is drawn up out of the system in order to elevate you there. It actually creates MORE emotional turmoil, and it happens much more quickly than we can handle. Slow it down with grounding. Make it manageable. You still have a life to live!
- Aligns you with your purpose – Your soul purpose or life mission absolutely will not make itself clear to you, until spirit knows that you are ready. You need to be grounded in the physical, capable of taking appropriate action to fulfill the purpose or mission ahead of you. That can’t be done if you are so ungrounded that normal life is challenging. Ground yourself first, and it will become known to you because you are in a position to be able to actively DO something to bring it to fruition.
Does Grounding REALLY Work?
What I’m highlighting here is not that grounding doesn’t work at all, just that if you are going through the ascension process, you need something MUCH more heavy duty. For the average person, who rarely becomes ungrounded, often some oil or a walk through a wooded area is enough to do the trick. Unfortunately traditional grounding just isn’t enough for folks like you and me who are going through awakening, which is a real concern, considering that being ungrounded is the exact reason why we’re experiencing such challenging signs and symptoms.
The good news is that it can be changed. You can get grounded, and that will reduce the difficult signs and symptoms you’re experiencing such as anxiety, overwhelm and emotional sensitivity amongst others. But for now, lets get a clear understanding of why traditional grounding doesn’t seem to work for us during spiritual awakening so that we can get a handle on this thing.
Why Traditional Grounding Doesn’t Work During Spiritual Awakening
The main issue that we have is that awakening is a naturally ungrounding process. Its designed that way. It all begins with an intense influx of high vibrational energy that is designed to awaken us, open our psychic senses and heighten our emotions, which I’m sure you’ll agree, it certainly does! Everything is designed for the purpose of healing our souls and clearing our connection to Source. However that initial influx of ungrounding energy was only necessary to kick start the process, and the problem begins when we are unable to ground the new energy that is coming in. Having that much light in your system is extremely ungrounding, not to mention hard on the physical body and there’s not enough density in us to balance it out. So we stay ungrounded, we continue to be charged and opened and heightened, and it all just becomes one big awakening mess – sometimes, even a crisis, which we definitely want to avoid.
There are 2 main reasons why traditional grounding often doesn’t work for those of us going through spiritual awakening. Lets take a look at them below…
Reason #1 – We’re Too Charged To Be Grounded
Unfortunately, most traditional grounding methods list the likes of oils, crystals, yoga or meditation. Like I said before, for the average person yes, these are grounding, but for us, with our energies already so highly charged and opened by the initial awakening process, anything that alters energy will unground us and only charge us further. Yep, it sounds weird I know, but its true.
Anything at all that alters your energy will inadvertently stimulate it further and will make your symptoms worse.
We’re talking crystals, essential oils, incense, yoga, meditation and other spiritual rituals or practices. It may seem backward, but if you’re experiencing difficult symptoms or heightened sensitivities then you’re best taking a break from these things for a little while to let your energy ground back down. (FYI, I’m teaching a FREE live 3 day training on how to do this where I lead you through it step by step. You can join us by registering here.)
Reason #2 – Our Energies Literally Don’t Know How To Ground Us
We need to remember that this incredible shift in humanity towards 5D living is an entirely new vibration, the likes of which may have never been experienced before. The truth is, your energies are just as confused as you are. Often times with these new changes in place our energies don’t actually know how to adjust to, manage or integrate with the frequencies and we get charged up (and our symptoms get worse in the process).
We need to teach our energies how to ground with this new energy in place.
We need to show them how to adjust and reassure them that its safe and that everything is ok. That’s when it begins to shift in your body and you can relax more into the transformation without fear (or hellish symptoms for that matter).

I’ve been finding grounding really hard! I’ve tried everything and then found this article! So I’m going with it! If you can help? That would be fantastic. As I was really need sleep and to eat! Thank you for any advice. Xxx
I’ve recently learned how spiritually blessed I am, recently discovered I’m an indigo adult especially one born of Virgo star. So I’ve been experiencing some serious weird stuff and symptoms. However even as I type this I’m from work… I am so exhausted. I sleep more than 9 hours but come morning, my joints hurt, my brain feels like it’s overheating, feel nauseated, and always tremble. It’s too much. Why are things like this happening?
Hey, thanks for sharing your experience. It sounds like your system is seriously ungrounded. Strong signs of being very ungrounded are usually aches, pains, brain fog and fatigue/ exhaustion. These are designed like a safety mechanism in the body to PULL you back into the body and ground you when you become too detached. Unfortunately it uses pain and discomfort in an attempt to bring your focus to the body and therefore ground you. I felt the same at one point, sick, sweating, shaking. It means you need to focus on grounding in a big way now, if you do, the symptoms will stop and it will be much easier.
