Creating a Container of Love: A Guide to Grounding and Self-Care

Creating a Container of Love: A Guide to Grounding and Self-Care

This month on *Love is Alchemy*, the focus is on helping people create a container of love for themselves.

One of the key ideas I love to share is that it’s all about learning to cultivate the frequency of love in your life. While there are many practical self-care practices, they all come back to how much love you’re able to experience daily—both with yourself and others. 

A big part of this is understanding what supports you in being receptive to love. To do this, it’s helpful to pay attention to the five layers of your being: physical, energetic, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Often, we might focus on one area, like the physical, but neglect others, such as our energetic state or how we talk to ourselves internally. By getting more specific about what works for you, you can care for yourself in a way that allows you to operate at a higher level. 

Let’s start with grounding. Begin by relaxing into your body and giving yourself permission to be fully present. Let your mind step to the sidelines, like an observer in the stands rather than a player on the field. Take a few deep breaths, letting go of anything from your day—whether it’s a to-do list or lingering emotions. Slowing down your out-breath can help calm your nervous system. 

Next, pull your energy back to the present moment. Imagine it returning from experiences, conversations, or dreams, and feel it grounding through you. Let it filter down into your lower body, through your spine, pelvis, legs, and all the way to the soles of your feet. Visualize your feet as tree roots, connecting deeply with the Earth, expanding and drawing nourishment from its electromagnetic field. Feel this energy rise through your roots, up through your feet, and into your entire being. 

Now, rest in this expanded presence. You can imagine it opening at your center or feel it as light shining down from above, through the crown of your head, amplifying your energy. Let this light fill your heart, belly, or even deeper areas of your body. Invite your whole being to open to this sense of love, soaking it up like a sponge. Love has its own intelligence, so let it move through you, soothing wounds, providing inspiration, and filling you up. 

Your energy field, often called the aura, extends a few feet around your body. Imagine this love expanding to fill your entire field, clearing out anything that no longer serves you. Rest in this feeling, like a teabag steeping in warm water, and let the frequency of love do its work. 

When you tap into this energy, clarity comes more easily. You’ll find it simpler to solve problems, know your next steps, and return to your tasks with renewed focus. This is also a beautiful space to listen to yourself. Ask questions like: 

- What do I need to know today? 

- What will help me be happiest right now? 

- How can I navigate this situation with grace? 

- How can I open to receive and share more love? 

When you’re ready, express gratitude for this connection. Appreciate the presence within you, nourished by both the Earth below and the higher realms above. Carry this sense of love and grounding into your life, allowing it to guide and support you in all you do. 

Love is alchemy—transformative, healing, and always available when you create the space to receive it.

Her background comes from diverse areas including business and finance in top global companies, entrepreneurship, shamanic medicine training, spiritual psychology, grief recovery, and more. This wealth of experience and training has resulted in two areas of practice: The Love Mandala for creating greater love and intimacy in relationship and The Leadership Mandala for guiding others to conscious leadership and operational excellence in business.

Her work serves as a reminder that love isn’t an accidental thing we find, but a sacred co-creative act. She supports her clients to discover what sacred union looks like for them so they can create more intimate and fulfilling relationships.   

She is a serial entrepreneur who loves exploring entrepreneurial models of work that blend sound principles of psychology with strong business fundamentals. She is passionately engaged in leading as an aware, humanistic leader who believes that a holistic model of work is not only engaging but necessary for the highest levels of success.
