		<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[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>

		<description><![CDATA[So far we&#8217;ve been looking primarily at the perception of information impinging on you from the outside world. But human experience involves more than that. You are a physical being, with a physical body that moves through space and interacts with the world around you, physically and in other ways. You assess situations, make choices, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I teach Composing Experience in workshops, I often begin with a direct experience illustrating how strongly your unconscious choices can affect your experience &#8212; even in situations that seem clear and straightforward. This is one of those experiences.
The situation is one in which you put one hand on your forehead and hold it there, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Life presents us with an ongoing stream of experience &#8212; with experiences of situations and events, of interactions of all kinds with our environment and the other people in it. These experiences are multidimensional, involving visual images, sounds, physical contact, sometimes smell and taste. We attach emotional reactions to them. Some experiences feel good; we [...]]]></description>
