How do you KNOW when you aren't grounded?

[mysterious]

Reason I ask is because you don't know until it gets worse (the off centre feeling), by which time you should have been grounded.

I mean if you often feel light-headed and often receive spiritual info how do you know WHEN you should ground yourself?:hug3:

Happy days Every one.

I know I'm not groudned if i take on other's emotions, if I feel bogged down, if I'm too much into drama, it's a good idea to ground daily.......

I mean I can't tell if I have absorbed somebody elses energy, because I can often act spontaneously mood and behaviour - this is probably me.
Also the following has happened to me many times: I have thought of someone, and then have acted slighly different - which maybe due to somehow absorbing their energy just by thought? Is that even possible?

This has been happening for as long as I can remember, so I can't tell if its my personality or otherwise?

P.S - I hope I am not crazy

For me personally I know when:

I knock/drop things
Become fearful, confused
Feel like my energies up too high in my higher chakras
Don't feel like my feet are touching the ground
Feel the need to connect with nature
Don't do things in a practical manner

[Spiritlite]

Yes one can absorb another's personality yes I believe that I really think you need to ground everyday because you seem very empathic and empaths needs to ground and ocean great description of when to ground.
Spiritlite
Yeah and feel the need to connect to nature is a huge one for me too.

Thanks Spiritlite and OceanWaves19161 - that helps me alot, I always feel like that impractical, fearful, always receiving spiritual single pieces of info which don't make sense on their own...therefore I must be ungrounded.

Thanks again my spiritual friends - this forum is quite cool I mean I don't really have access to these resources in my area. Also find that in general the US is more aware of these things and the UK seems a little behind. I am from the UK and eventhough there are a few resources in these matters it can be sometimes be a challenge to find and to that experienced level.

I can normally tell when I'm not grounded enough when my energy is too concentrated on my higher chakras, when I get spacey and generally tired; my third eye normally gets quite buzzy or achy when I'm not grounded enough. I normally combat that with the mantras for the lower chakras :)

How do you know when you aren't grounded?
Good question! Not always easy to answer because it's similar to asking...
How do you know when you aren't illusional?
We're always somewhat illusional - selective awareness, for one thing.

Still...I'd say, some signs of not being grounded are....
Placing too much importance on feeling & intuition & not enough on logic & intellect,
Thinking & feeling more than doing,
Directionless - not striving for goals,
Avoiding reality by denying problems or addictions... &
Haven't enjoyed the outdoors for a while.

Mysterious you are welcome and I'm enjoying reading the answers as well.

I think im ungrounded when i feel like my mind is all over the place and im worrying about 50 things at the same time. And of course my emotions run rampid (especialy around or pertaining to other people) Im working on it though =)

Wood is perfect for grounding :hug2:

Heavy grounders .. Black tourmaline ..Tiger Iron , Hematite. Pyrite.

Medium grounders Tigers eye, Copper , Carnellian, Smoky quartz ,Red jasper x

light grounders .. Desert rose . unakite , Jet and Petrified wood , Aragonite .

Have a feel and a little play with them and see which one grounds you x

[lovingkind]

Spiritlite that is a very good solution. There are many stones and crystals that can help with grouding.
Mysterious if you have a tendency to absorb energy from others there are also several crystals and stones that can protect you from these energies.
Prehnite actually seals your aura in protectivenes.
