Keeping Yourself Grounded

This topic was created in the Gemini forum by Aria on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 and has 10 replies.
How do you do that? Moreover, what kind of partners keeps you at that state?
I guess I'm the typical flighty gemini. Very moody, difficult to handle as I can't be tied down. My right foot is outside the door while my left is inside and I'm always willing to go and run as fast as I can when I sense a situation that might be too pressuring for me. I hate arguments and uncertainties. Although, I am uncertain myself. Now I can suddenly feel why they say geminis are difficult to be with.
And now it's like I'm thinking 2 things at the same time and trying to communicate both with y'all. Oh lord.
I'm lucky in this situation... I have 3 cancer placements, so I'm in it for the long run. My aqua does ground me when I need it, but I enjoy my flighty moments and he will also encourage that as well. Big Grin

pm'd you...cheers
Have you ever tried grounding exercises? You can start by closing your eyes, imagine your aura around you. Keep your feet flat on the floor, imagine they have roots to the soil. Feel your arms, legs, back, shoulders, head, be aware of your body. Picture the base of your spine and your first chakra which is there. Imagine a beam of light that connects your aura, chakra and base of your spine, and the beam radiates down to the center of the earth. Imagine the negative things, people, events that happened to you are beamed down to the center of the earth. You cast off the weight of the external injuries, real or imagined, by doing this. If you need to, you can look up grounding on YT and you'll find some wonderful videos on this practice.
Personally, I feel grounding is a very important skill for us Gems to develop. Without it we can easily allow ourselves to scatter our energies with nothing to show for it. We're capable of greatness but it must be harnessed and expressed or it will never be anything but wasted potential.

I feel that with my aqua. And it's interesting that when I tell him what I want, he tells me that is exactly what he wants too! He said we're very much the same. Specially when he was younger. He's aqua with gem rising and I'm gem with sagittarius rising so it's insane. He knows exactly what to tell me to calm me down. He's one of the very few people who can handle me. smile
@gem: got it! Responded smile

Now that is very interesting! Is that yoga/meditation? I heard that it works perfectly for gems to be able to focus our energies.
I totally agree that grounding is very important. In my life, I think it's only my job that remains stable. It's one thing that keeps me grounded. And what's even more interesting is that my company, the owners are aqua, gem and libra which makes everything about it really suitable for me and tons of fire and air sign employees.
I just focus on the bigger picture. Where do you want to be, do, go.. in what time frame?! Get your plan. Stick with something or multiple things. After a while you'll see what's important vs. Giving into your moods and hurting others unnecessarily.
Honestly I just work hard, learn CONSTANTLY, plan, save and try to do everything I can that keeps me happy.
Moods pass and NOT giving into them is as big of a part of growing up and maturing as new moods you received that made you into an adult.
I have to get away from people. At work I have to go in the back and close the door. Maybe that's why I am dating a Capricorn man. LOL He is total earth.
I have water and earth placements as well and I'm a Taurini. I can be flighty but I calm myself down because I don't like to be scattered. I'm a very organized person--cannot survive without that. Because I used to be military I'm used to handling stressful situations that come up--in a calm manner. While others are running around screaming like crazy, I'm the calm one speaking in even tones trying to calm THEM down. I am attracted to earth signs like Virgo and Capricorn. Virgo and I don't mix but I might try Capricorn again. Anyhoo both seem to ground me...
