		<description><![CDATA[In the first post in this series on Being Grounded, I defined being grounded as a state of relaxed skeletal balance where the forces generated by the weight of your body pass cleanly through your skeleton into the ground, and supporting forces from the ground are transmitted back up through your skeleton. I&#8217;ve recently released [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The experience of being grounded comes from having a clear proprioceptive sense of the path of support from the ground beneath you through your feet. When your body weight is carried by a balanced, relaxed skeleton the supportive forces pass cleanly from one bone to next along the path, making that path of support relatively [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are few questions in life more important than &#8220;Which way is up?&#8221; We joke about that, describing someone who doesn&#8217;t grasp what&#8217;s going on around him by saying &#8220;he doesn&#8217;t know which way is up.&#8221; The question, though, is one that you really do need to answer almost constantly, whenever you&#8217;re awake and upright.

		<description><![CDATA[Being grounded is a natural way of being &#8212; part of our human biological heritage honed by millions of years of evolution. And yet, in contemporary society, really being grounded is relatively rare. Being ungrounded is much more the norm. It&#8217;s part of a class of behaviors that I think of as pathologies of civilization [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Much is written about being grounded. A google search turns up more than 700,000 entries for the term. Some are about the kind of being grounded that happens to a child as a form of punishment, but most have to do with connection to the ground and its consequences. Some writers see it in terms [...]]]></description>
