Episode 36: Becoming Fully Present — Grounding, Embodiment & Finding Stability in a Chaotic World

In this powerful episode of the Natural Passages Podcast, host Herb Stevenson breaks down one of the most essential skills for navigating modern life: grounding. With the world moving faster, pressures increasing, and people living in constant mental overdrive, Herb explores how grounding reconnects us with the body, restores presence, and brings us back into a place of inner stability.

Through personal experience and decades of guiding others, Herb explains what grounding really means — far beyond simply having your “feet on the ground.” He describes the difference between living as a “head dragging a body behind it” versus inhabiting your full self with awareness, breath, sensation, and embodied presence. You’ll hear why so many of us operate in a chronic state of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn... and how grounding is the doorway out of those patterns.
