Here's what I mean about finding bone-deep structural support within yourself as a reliable way to feel solidly grounded.
You can try this brief experiment with me right now, whether you're sitting or standing.
With your feet placed on a flat surface, press one of your heels down—the actual heel bone (calcaneus).
— Press down S-L-O-W-L-Y. Feel the point of contact—not just the surface touch, but feel the bone itself pressing into "the earth."Â
— Notice how this triggers an awakening of cascading neural signals (and activated muscles) as your foot, leg, hip, and maybe more above—become enlivened by your connection with Earth.
It doesn't matter if you're on the twentieth floor of a high-rise building or standing in a forest; whatever surface your bones contact, represents your connection with Earth.
Your entire skeleton—a true masterpiece of natural engineering—is your conduit for Earth's stabilizing energy. When your bones are aligned, you become more grounded, and anchored to what is solid and predictable.
The more anchored you are, the more freely you can rise in response, whether it is your lengthening spine or your rising spirits.
If you think I'm going all woo-woo on you, this is based on physics—specifically a scientific phenomenon known as Ground Reaction Force. It's related to Newton's Third Law of Motion, where every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Push down harder into Earth and the felt response is that much greater.
My personal experience with this is that when I am aware of myself as an aligned skeleton—meaning my bones are arranged as intended by our human design in relationship with the vertical axis of gravity—I sense myself "coming home" to who I am and a renewed sense of personal "power" that exists within me.Â
It doesn't mean I don't worry or experience fear or sometimes feel untethered. I do! These feelings are generated by thoughts that arrive in my mind unbidden. But it also means I can reconnect and become more grounded by physically experiencing myself as a part of this glorious natural world, rather than disconnected or apart from it.
Earth itself is my anchor.  It can be yours, too!
A misaligned skeleton has greatly reduced access to this exchange of energy and the strength and comfort that comes from it. What would otherwise be open channels of flowing energy are disrupted by misaligned bones.
Time has a way of surprising us. My grandson, whose birth seems to have been yesterday, just turned four. At 78, these milestones remind me that I want to share this life-changing knowledge as widely as possible while I still can. Every person deserves an opportunity to understand their body's innate wisdom—and I feel a growing urgency to help this message reach as many interested people as possible.
This has led me to decide that I am dropping the longtime price of my course from $497 to $297, with an option for three payments of $99. I discount the price at times during periodic sales so, this will now be an ongoing sale, until further notice.
I'd like to give this all away for free, but the bills are real!
Still, I want to make this more readily accessible especially now, because finding our inner ground becomes even more crucial when the ground beneath our society and a more fair-minded way of life feels so shaky.Â
Please pass this along if you know someone who would be interested to learn more about any of this.
Thank you!Â
