		<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>

It can help you learn to move more easily and fluidly, to lessen chronic pain and discomfort, to moderate limitations created by neurological damage, to perform better at many different tasks, to heal old emotional traumas, and to understand yourself and your ways of being in the world more [...]]]></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[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[Think of experience as having two primary components, perception and action. Perception includes those processes through which you know yourself and the world around you &#8212; vision, hearing, proprioception (body awareness, balance, position in space, movement), intellectual and intuitive understanding, etc. Action encompasses what you do to interact with that world &#8212; getting a drink [...]]]></description>
