"Whenever the cloud of ego threatens to engulf me,
I remind myself of my roots. It helps keeping my
feet on the ground."
Faraaz Kazi
The phrase, "Keep your feet on the ground" is meant both mentally and physically. In a mental way, we can envision planting our feet solidly upon Mother Earth while emotionally sensing a connection. To see this action in our mind our body will react accordingly positioning balance. Physically, if we place our naked feet upon the earth, we will feel a pull from the earth and beckon it to travel up into our body for centering. Either way, placing feet on the ground will bring us into alignment.
If we are in a pronounced situation such as a meeting, we can choose to take a deep breath, feel our feet on the ground and imagine strength powering through our inner being. If we are preparing for a confrontation, we can make a list of previous conflicts and how we succeeded in maintaining our energy. The same holds true for anxiety. We can gather our lovely parts together ... heart, brain, emotion, and memory ... to form a strong energy stature.
The basic concept is aligning the body, mind, and spirit. This of course translates into ... My feet are firmly on the ground (reality or body), I am well versed and knowledgable (mind), and I am connected with the Divine (Spiritual). The process of aligning these three ideas pull all of our gifts and wisdom into a useable force.
***It is also valuable to imagine the feet placed upon the ground are standing sturdily upon ego.
