Getting grounded and feeling safe.

Sounds really a great idea. But how to get there, what should be done to achieve this state of body and mind? Is positive thinking or going for a walk daily, or workouts in a gym enough to get there?

There are laws that govern our body and knowing — or better, following — them will definitely improve your relationship with your body. You might ask, isn’t my body me? The answer is — not entirely. Your body is governed mostly by your unconscious mind. Think about your heart, the blood flowing through your vessels, the chemical exchanges in your cells, even your breath… Do we consciously control all that? This is how we slowly lose that feeling of being at home in our own body — that natural trust and harmony we once had as children. Misusing the body for achievement, chasing extreme performance, or neglecting it through inertia both lead to the same outcome: a widening gap between you — the conscious mind — and the body. Then one day, the body speaks through pain or illness, and we are confused, disconnected, even betrayed. Dis-ease — losing ease within.

Did you know that any condition doesn’t appear overnight? Research shows that it can take up to twenty years for an imbalance to accumulate in the body before it reaches the surface of awareness. Drop by drop, the imbalance grows silently, while our conscious mind stays preoccupied with what it considers “more important.” But can anyone truly live with pain and still be happy?

This is where Yoga comes in — not as another workout or a quick fix, but as a living science of reconnecting body, breath, and mind. Yoga teaches us to listen.

Through yogic exercises, we begin to awaken the body’s proprioceptors — the tiny sensors in our muscles and joints that tell us where we are in space. These help us develop body awareness — to feel, sense, and truly know our body from the inside. With practice, we start to notice areas that feel numb or “blank,” parts of ourselves we have stopped inhabiting. Yoga helps us gently return there, bringing breath, movement, and awareness into those spaces.

As we learn to inhabit the body fully again, a sense of grounding naturally arises. You begin to feel supported from within, more balanced and steady — both physically and emotionally. This feeling of being present in your body creates a deep sense of safety and ease that no outside condition can replace.

That’s the gift of yoga — coming home to your body, regaining trust in yourself, and rediscovering the quiet strength and peace that were always there.
