Grounding is what happens when you come back into your body. For some people that's a walk outside. For others it's cold water, slow breath, a hand on the floor, a weighted object held in the palm.
Stones traditionally used for grounding tend to be darker, denser, and earthier. Black tourmaline, hematite, smoky quartz, obsidian, red jasper, and shungite are the classics. They're the stones you reach for when your head is three steps ahead of your feet.
The practice matters more than the stone, but the stone helps the practice stick. A grounding stone in a pocket is a small reminder that you can come back whenever you notice you've drifted.
