Grounding Rituals: 9 Practices for Calming Your Mind
Questions? Comments? Send a message to Art of Healing PodcastFeeling scattered, anxious, or just a bit "off"? Your root chakra might be calling for attention. When life transitions throw us into chaos—whether it's moving homes, changing jobs, or navigating emotional upheaval—our energy often becomes ungrounded. This doesn't just affect our mental state; it directly impacts our physical well-being, particularly our adrenal glands, which continue pumping stress hormones when we can't find our center.Throughout this episode, I share nine powerful yet simple techniques to reconnect with your physical body and the earth beneath you. From the barefoot meditation that can transform your anxiety in minutes to the rooting visualization that helps you draw strength from below, these practices require no special equipment or prior experience. You'll discover how mindful walking differs from regular exercise, why placing hands on your belly can shift your entire nervous system, and how even standing in line at the DMV can become an opportunity for grounding through Mountain Pose.For healthcare professionals and anyone working with others' energy, these techniques offer more than self-care—they provide essential boundaries that allow you to show up with compassion without absorbing others' emotional states. I've condensed these practices into a downloadable guide that's helped countless clients find stability during turbulent times.Try one practice today and notice how quickly your body responds.

Mind, Body, and Adrenals: A Holistic Approach
Questions? Comments? Send a message to Art of Healing PodcastYour adrenal glands may be small, but they're running more of your life than you realize. Feeling exhausted despite sleeping enough? Crashing after your morning coffee? Waking up hours before your alarm? These tiny walnut-sized organs sitting atop your kidneys might be sending you important messages about your stress levels.Learn more about your Adrenal Glands with this free resource:Chakras and HormonesDr. Charlyce takes us on a fascinating journey through the endocrine system, explaining how these mighty glands produce hormones that regulate everything from your morning energy to your stress response. We learn how the brain's command centers—the hypothalamus and pituitary gland—constantly monitor your environment and psychological state, sending signals to your adrenals that trigger the release of cortisol and adrenaline. While these hormones are essential for survival and motivation, our modern always-on lifestyle keeps them pumping without the recovery periods our bodies desperately need.Through personal examples and practical science, Dr. Charlyce shares how functional medicine approaches adrenal health differently than conventional medicine. She reveals how home testing helped identify her own imbalanced cortisol patterns and melatonin deficiency, leading to personalized solutions that didn't involve medication. You'll discover specific strategies for supporting your adrenals—from nutrient-dense eating schedules and appropriate sodium intake to balancing exercise with recovery and incorporating grounding practices that activate your parasympathetic nervous system.Whether you're dealing with unexplained fatigue, sleep disruptions, or simply want to optimize your energy and stress resilience, this episode offers actionable insights into working with—rather than against—your body's natural hormonal rhythms. Take a moment to rate this episode and connect with Dr. Charlyce on social media to continue the conversation about your adrenal health journey.Welcome to the Art of Healing Podcast community.
