Grounded

Spiritually speaking, to be grounded is to to bring yourself to a heightened sense of awareness in association with the present moment. This is particularly useful in order to feel more joyful stimulation whether physically or perceptually and at the same time reduce the sometimes detrimental nature of the repeating chatter of the mind.

Alan Watts once illustrated this point by ringing a bell. There was only sound; filling up the whole room, passing through you and vibrating your whole being. No words or chatter could have captured the healing nature of such grounding. You were grounded and completely inside the experience.
