grounding
Grounding, in the broadest sense, refers to the process of creating a direct connection between an electrical device or circuit and the earth. This provides a safe path for electrical energy during a fault, reducing the risk of electrical shock and fire. In a non-technical context, grounding is also used to refer to the practice of creating a mental or emotional connection with the present moment, often used as a technique to reduce stress or anxiety. This can be achieved through various mindfulness practices, such as deep breathing, meditation, or physical contact with nature.
