Grounding

Grounding is the process of connecting a system or person to the Earth's physical connection, often to promote safety or emotional stability. In electrical terms, grounding provides a safe path for excess energy to dissipate, reducing the risk of shock or damage. In emotional or psychological contexts, grounding techniques help individuals stay present and centered during stressful situations by focusing on physical sensations or surroundings. Both uses aim to create a sense of stability, safety, or clarity by linking to a reliable, fundamental reference point—whether physical or mental.
