A Simple Grounding Fall Meditation You Can Do Right Now To Release Pain & Stress
I’ve long been a fan of the health benefits of meditation, so I was really excited when a new medical study confirmed that mindfulness meditation significantly reduces pain, and does so in a totally unique neuropathway that is completely separate from any pain relief that is found through the placebo effect.
Turns out, meditation modifies pain brain patterns to help break you out of repetitive pain signals.
I talk about that in this TikTok for you here:
Pain Signals In The Brain Decrease During Meditation:
…and you can also read that study for yourself right here.
So today I want to walk you through a quick 6 minute fall healing mediation, so that if you are feeling any discomfort or pain in your body, we can reduce that, together.
Not only does meditation modify those pain signals to help you feel better, it also boosts serotonin, dopamine and GABA — essential neurotransmitters in the brain that help you feel your best.
Now for the good part… want even deeper benefits? Add grounding.
Grounding decreases inflammation which is part of why your neurotransmitter levels are disrupted in the first place. Inflammatory cytokines cross the blood brain barrier and decrease neurotransmitter production, decrease neuroplasticity, and increase neuroinflammation which depresses mood.
Grounding helps reverse that, by decreasing inflammation, boosting neurotransmitter levels, and naturally boosting mood. I’ve published several articles on how grounding helps support better brain function that you can read here:

I used an at home brain wave monitor to help show you:

Today, just give me 6 minutes and let’s combine meditation with grounding so that you are getting a few consecutive minutes of benefit from both… as grounding and meditation are synergistic.
6 minutes is plenty long enough for grounding to provide whole body benefits… reducing your muscle tension, decreasing muscle soreness, relaxing your brain waves to make meditation easier and more therapeutic, reducing over all markers of brain stress, and boosting your vagal tone to your entire digestive tract too, which soothes the knot in your stomach and releases heartburn, indigestion, irritable bowel symptoms, and so much more.
