Our business was located across the street from Bryant Park in New York City. Upon reflection, as the business came closer and closer to its end, these times were when I felt my most anxious, frustrated, and hopeless moments.

I sat in the office immersed in relentless self-blame. Feeling the pressure of the world on my chest and in my heart, I felt as if I was suffocating under its weight.

I would desperately leave the office and walk to the park to soak in what felt like a healing energy and lifesaving oxygen. I really do believe that those moments saved me from an even deeper, darker place that I might easily have gone into without this refuge.

Expanding upon that lesson, I have begun a practice of grounding. It is my pursuit of getting a regular dose of “Vitamin G” which can only be acquired by finding ways to ground ourselves with the earth.

Whether it’s doing a “dew walk” in the early morning walking barefoot on the cool moist grass, kneeling in the soil digging through the earth to plant our herb garden and vegetables, walking barefoot in the sand, or even touching the strong trunk of the amazing trees that surround us, drawing from the energy of the earth is a vital part of my healing journey.

I cannot recommend grounding strongly enough.
