Five Levels of Grounding

In the northern summer of 2021, it came to me to explore the levels of grounding that go beyond what one might usually think of as grounding. The following levels have stood the test of time thus far:

Physical grounding: physical practices of grounding
Energetic grounding: subtler practices of grounding, such as those taught by David Router
Grounding in present circumstances: being present with one’s experiences
Grounding in limitless Mind: establishment in limitless creativity
Abiding as the Supreme Foundation: unshakeable knowing that one is THE SUPREME 

This model was shared for the first time during my Buddha at the Gas Pump interview with Rick Archer. Subsequently, Rev. Lia Aurami wrote this very helpful article about grounding, which includes the levels.
