		<description>After having lessons for the whole day at the seminary college, I would enjoy spending time in silence in the pantry, sitting on the benches at the covered background or walking the labyrinth. It helps me regain my centeredness after all the inspiring lectures which fill my mind with philosophical thoughts. After an hour or so, I can join the Evening Prayer with a focused, quietened and peaceful mind.</description>

		<description>Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Mia. When we look at how things happen in nature, change is slow and gradual. Our culture, in a sense, encourages us to get on the fast track for everything, so I think you are right -- we are meant to go slow. Also, the experience of intense bliss, which so many chase after, is kind of like sugar. A little bit here and there is OK, but there can be too much. And ultimately, it&#039;s not the most satisfying thing in life. Bliss, like all experiences, comes and goes. Being grounded in the here and now is a deeper, more fulfilling way to live.

I have always been very skeptical of &quot;high tech meditation&quot;. Meditation is a natural ability of the mind. I&#039;d rather not tinker with a natural process. The brain and nervous system are so complex. We really don&#039;t understand it well enough to know what the consequences are of manipulating brain waves &quot;artificially&quot;.</description>

		<description>Hi,
I spent three years doing hi tech meditation seeking bliss and found myself in a very scary ungrounded place as a result and in bliss all of the time. 
After ending up with psychosis and being in and out of hospital. I have spent the last ten years learning how to be grounded and Nature really helps me with this. 
I do not recommend any sort of hi tech meditation. There is a reason we are meant to go slow!
Thank you for your insightful ways to be grounded.</description>

		<description>If you are picking up energies from areas or other people, then imagine yourself in a bubble - only good things flow through to you - love, joy, happines etc and any negativity, bad thoughts or those people who enjoy sapping other people´s energies cannot get through to you.  Also wear Rose Quartz to protect you as well.  These things work.</description>

		<description>Modern technology is truly a gift from God! I found your website today after reading on another website about chakras. I did your grounding meditation as I sometimes am scattered, have lower body blockage of energy, etc. During the meditation I envisioned myself down in the warm brown earth, connected and accepted, and it was very emotional. That was a new and nice experience. Thank you.  I look forward to more experiences as I listen to all of the meditations.</description>

		<description>Hello Huiying,

To answer your question, it would be helpful to know what you mean by being &quot;ungrounded by people&quot; and &quot;affected in enclosed space&quot;. If you&#039;d like to give a bit more detail, I&#039;ll see if I can answer better. 

I can say that there are some people who are very sensitive to energy so that being around a lot of people can be a bit overwhelming because of all the &quot;signals&quot; they are picking up.</description>

		<description>I am ungrounded by people.  I am affected in enclosed space. Does it mean that I cannot take the energy or because I am sensitive to energy?</description>
