When we are grounded we are more at peace with ourselves. We release our stress and anxiety, our overwhelm and busyness. We allow ourselves to relax. We connect to the earth's energies and feel stable, more at peace.
Think of it like this. We have electricity running through our homes and we earth (ground) it, so that we are protected if there is a leakage or surge in electricity.
Our body is made up of energy and so it makes sense that when we ground ourselves, we are stabilizing our energy. By grounding ourselves, we allow ourselves to let go of the erratic energy caused by stress and anxiety enabling us to connect into our present moment within ourselves.

Allow yourself to relax as you do it. Draw like a child and release any self-judgement on the outcome. Allow yourself to simply enjoy playing.
