Grounding Practices

Grounding is the art of arriving. In Reiki training with me, grounding practices are woven through everything we do so that your work feels calm and ordinary, not theatrical. We start with the feet and the breath: soft knees, weight through the heels and toes, a longer out-breath that tells the system it is safe to settle. You will learn quick resets for corridors and car parks, and fuller sequences that anchor attention before and after sessions. We make these practices portable. At work you can ground in under a minute: stand evenly, release the jaw, breathe out slowly for six counts, and feel the floor do its job. Before a treatment we arrive with a short sequence at head and heart; after a treatment we close and step away so the body knows the work is complete. If the day has been rough, we add a simple walking pattern that resets rhythm without strain. All of this is done in plain language you can explain to colleagues and family. Why does grounding matter? Because steadiness makes everything else effective. Without it, attention scatters and sessions feel vague. With it, touch becomes kind and pacing turns clear. We keep clear boundaries—consent and confidentiality—and we signpost when Reiki is not the appropriate support. Distance routines are taught with careful preparation so sensitivity does not spike. The practices remain respectful, brief, and repeatable. Over time grounding becomes a habit rather than an event: you notice shoulders lowering in queues, breath lengthening on the train, and a natural pause before you speak. That sense of arrival is the foundation you will build on—quiet, sturdy and real. Further notes: keep language ordinary, avoid rushing, and let the exhale lead your timing. Design short versions for busy days and fuller sequences when the system softens. Close cleanly, drink water and rest so change has a chance to settle.
