When you hear grounded, you may relate it to some US drama when a parent punishes a teenage child and tell them, “YOU ARE GROUNDED!” I always associated this word as a negative meaning, until I started to do Yoga 2 months ago.

My yoga teacher said:” Plant your feet on the ground, and try to feel your feet rooting deep into the ground.”

I was surprised how much I can relate to this feeling when I making ceramic.

In Yoga theory ,there is 7 Charka in our body, the bottom one they call Muladhara, means root and basis of Existence.

The energies of the Root Chakra help us to feel grounded and connected to this Earth, giving us a place for our life to ‘take root’ and for the flow of energies to propel us forward on our life journey.

You can improve your Muladhara by getting closer to a tree, get hold of fossils or round stone, or eat more root vegetables. As a ceramicist , we have advantage by touching the most “grounded” material : Clay .

I truly believe this is the reason why we are feeling grounded ,because we directly touch the history of our mother land.
