Are you spacey or grounded?

Grounding means taking reality checks. If you're metaphysically minded, you might want to put "reality" in quotation marks. Okay, by "reality," I mean the shared reality that equates with being "sane" here at Earth School. Grounding requires that each of us must be aware of it: My body, my environment, plus any people who are near me.

Being grounded has practical advantages for everything from relationships to career success, as discussed in, "Let Today Be a Holiday" by Rose Rosetree. (Okay, I wrote it. I'm that observant!) Spaciness comes more naturally to many of us; anyone can choose to become grounded, however. To evaluate your own need for extra grounding, answer the following questions?

1. What is your age?
Under 18 Years Old
18 to 24 Years Old
25 to 30 Years Old
31 to 40 Years Old
41 to 50 Years Old
51 to 60 Years Old
Over 60 Years Old
2. What is your gender?
Male
Female
3. You know you have a body because:
I just know it. Like, it would feel too weird without one.
In theory, it makes sense that I would have a physical body.
I breathe. I have feet. There are plenty of clues.
4. What you tend to notice when you go into a room full of people is:
How many people are there and how they are dressed.
If there are any paintings on the ceiling.
What vibes are strongest, and whether or not I feel comfortable in them.
5. Looking at yourself in a full-length mirror, you admire:
Everything about my appearance is neat, clean, and fashionable. (I'm trying, anyway.)
I'm feeling pretty darned good about myself.
I seem to have managed to put all my clothes on. And the shirt is on top, the pants on the bottom.
6. What does it mean to describe your kitchen as "so clean I could eat off the floor"?
On a regular basis, I look down at that floor. If I see any dirt, I clean it up immediately.
If I watch enough TV commercials, eventually I 'll find one that shows an immaculate floor. This can become my ideal for how my own kitchen ought to look.
Now that you mention it, quite a bit of food has accumulated on my kitchen floor. Probably it could be enough for a meal, if I were hungry enough.
7. My usual way of getting places on time is to:
Check out the time before any appointment and make it my business to be punctual.
Set my watch alarm to go off every hour. (Gee, I wish I were good enough with machines to set make my watch work properly. Any part of my watch. Darn!)
Ask my inner cuckoo clock to remind me of any worldly obligations.
8. Swimming is:
Always tricky because of what it will do to my hairstyle.
Great exercise, or would be, if only I would kick my body instead of practicing ultra-slow Tai Chi
A comforting way to commune with the water element.
9. Riding a bicycle is:
A way for me to look good while on wheels.
Great exercise, or would be, if only I would spend more time riding than I do. Instead I mostly stop to take pictures, admire the view, or re-hydrate and balance my feelings.
A fascinating spiritual exercise about balance, and usually I manage not to fall off that bike.
10. Driving my car, I notice:
Where my car is, which cars are ahead and to either side, and what is happening in my rear view mirror.
Any music I happen to be playing.
What fun I will have when I get there (wherever that destination might be) (hopefully, I will be able to find it).
11. As a passenger in a car, I notice:
How does the driver perform, and could I do a better job?
It's such a relief not to have to pay attention to the road. I love getting lost in the scenery.
Where the heck am I? Things outside my window keep moving. Oh, wait, this is normal for riding in a car.
12. The first thing I notice each morning is:
My body--what else is there?
Whether or not another person's body is there lying in bed with me. If not a human body, at least I hope to find a cat.
I commune with the Universe, of course. Eventually I get around to noticing little old me.
