Title is basically it.

For me, it’s usually coffee, or anything spicy, like cayenne pepper. Apple cider vinegar usually does it, too.

Grounding?

I think it means forcing you to reassociate with the current moment.

A lot of tea for me, especially earthy flavors. Shou Puerh tea is like a magical grounding experience for me every time I drink it. I love coffee and drink that daily, but when I really need to just be I break into the puerh stash.

For evenings I like a lot of herbal teas. Rooibos is probably my favorite. Lately I have been drinking a lot of lemon ginger tea with a splash of apple cider vinegar before bed.

I can’t even think about doing anything productive without coffee or tea in my hands.

I don’t think I’ve ever considered this before. How interesting.

My first thought is mushrooms. I think it’s the umami of them specifically. Totally unrelated, but I also think bourbon & Scotch would qualify. I tend to be very intentional when I’m in the (infrequent) mood for strong spirits, and it tends to be a quiet evening with a fire and/ or instrumental jazz.

Damn.

Didn’t know where that was going for a second cause certain mushrooms definitely DO NOT “ground” me lol

By the end though I feel like you’d be a chill person to share a lagavulin with

That’s a thing? Like relaxing? I don’t think I have experienced that.

Haha, thanks. I wasn’t interested in relaxing…more grounding.

Like I wouldn’t consider hot peppers relaxing (maybe once the endorphins kick in), but it does help me stay in the moment. Stuff like that.
