idiomsmeaningmeaning-in-context

Every day, I get emails from Ennatought. Mails sometimes say for my type (The Investigator): "Become grounded in your body". Here is one such message:

Try this practice and therapeutic strategy today: Become grounded in your body and allow grieving and processing of feelings, especially rejection and futility. When you are present to these issues, do you notice anything shift in yourself?

So what does it mean exactly? What should I make of this sentence?

Best Answer

To become grounded in your body is a New Age-ish expression meaning, mainly, to stop over-thinking things — fighting natural processes with your mind — and allow your body to take over and process emotions at a more visceral level, thereby allowing them to work themselves out. Another way to put this is "Get out of your head."

I make no claims that this process actually works, but this is what the phrase means in context.
