Why chose the name of Grounded Mystic for this website ?
Mystics connect to the truths of spiritual and physical laws from within. Others can not provide that connection for us with words or doctrines.
I am a mystic and when I start to feel overwhelmed, I stop, stand and look at my feet to feel myself grounded. Grounding is important to me. When do you feel the need to be grounded?
As a child, I learned not to tell my truth. Perhaps you learned similar lessons about not sharing your true experiences with others. As an adult, I have an ever-growing growing awareness and appreciation for the richness, beauty and value of lifes experiences and the need to share the stories and information that resonate with me.
As a grounded mystic, I listen to, and learn from, myself and others. .
You and I build our existence out of our ideas, attitudes and emotions towards people, places, things and events. We are not alone in being responsible for the conditions of the world. A major factor in creating our world is our interaction with each other. As a grounded mystic, I know we can not be complacent.
