Grounding isn’t about slowing down your dreams🌸

✨ Your dreams need roots just as much as they need wings. Before you rise, expand, or call in something new… come back to your body. Come back to the earth. Come back to you. When you place your bare feet on the ground and take three intentional breaths, you reconnect with the energy that holds
