Grounding

Grounding is the sense of arriving back in your own body. The breath drops, the shoulders follow, and whatever was spinning slows enough to be looked at. Most hapé grounds to some degree, so this is a question of degree rather than a category. The blends here lean furthest that way: the ones their makers describe as depth and grounding, strength and grounding, or balance, and the ones carrying the element of earth. They suit the beginning of a sitting, the end of a long day, and the hour after ceremony when you want to come back down slowly.
