with Samo Božič,
a professional body psychotherapist
and ex-physics teacher
Welcome, open-minded traveler and seeker
YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE...
You probably have some challenges or issues with your emotions. In my experience with my clients, there are usually two categories of people who are searching for happiness, calmness and peace of mind and who are looking for more relaxation.
You are either in fight or flight mode, which means you are under stress or feeling anxious, or you are in freeze mode, which means you probably have lost connection with most of your emotions.
I have a framework for you that has helped me and my clients achieve a deeper and more profound connection with ourselves and our bodies.
My system demystifies stress, negative thoughts, tensions and unpleasant feelings and emphasizes that GROUNDING is always at the heart of your CALM state. In this brilliant and well-designed course, you learn what I have researched and practically testedwith myself and my clients over the past decade.
In this highly practical and educational online course, I will guide you with mastery so that you will learn how to build a conscious connection to your body that will help you feel calm and deeply connected to your true self in ways you never thought possible.
Slay the stress and uncomfortable feelings!
MAKE YOUR BODY YOUR ALLY

"Without your body, you're a nobody"
- John Pierrakos
Sounds too harsh! But let's look at it from another side...
Our mind is a beautiful and creative space when we use it properly and it's in harmony with our feelings and actions. But often we use our mind in the wrong way.
For example, if something went wrong at your job and you were blamed for it. You were silent and took the blame even though you weren't at fault. You were afraid of other consequences. When you get home later, you see that your child did something wrong and you take it out on her. She starts crying and you get even angrier.
And then you justify the situation and explain to everyone around you what she did wrong. Later, guilt sets in and you tell yourself that you put too much pressure on yourself and that you will do better next time. But you feel ashamed and don't reflect with your child about your part and stick to your view that it was wrong.
Fear, sadness, anger, guilt, shame... Emotions, right? You're using your mind to escape your body and the feelings in your body. With this strategy, you're spinning in a black spiral of frustration, uncomfortable feelings, and conflicts with the people you love the most!
When you run away from unpleasant feelings, you also separate yourself from pleasant feelings and emotions. This is the reality of our human nature.
To feel calm and peaceful again, you need to address your body and its feelings - NO EXCEPTION, NO COMPROMISE!
And I will show you how to do that!
The GROUNDING FUNDAMENTALS course will help you discipline your mind and befriend your body! I will show you how you too can stop running from your bodyso you can finally feel calm, relaxed and loving again.
This nine-week-long work will challenge and stretch you to regain your mental and emotional strength - which does NOT depend on the number of orgasms, your bank account, or your strain and recovery measurements. It depends primarily on the quality of your conscious connection with your body.
FACT
As a body psychotherapist, I observe that people who are grounded rarely feel anxious, empty or dissatisfied. And when they do find themselves in these feelings, they have tools to deal with them.
When people learn and apply basic grounding techniques, they know how to handle stress, anxiety and pressure!
Sound like mission impossible?
It's possible!
When you vent on others or when you are nervous, these are intelligent signals. They are a smart way for your body to communicate with you about your deeper needs - if you know how to listen.
And it's my job to teach you how to do that.
Because when you know how to listen to your body - without exception - you will stop yelling at your kids or yourself, stop criticizing and doubting yourself and you will feel much calmer, self-confident and relaxed. You will feel much better about yourself.
GROUNDING FUNDAMENTALS will help you:
know how to deal with your uncomfortable feelings
calm yourself down and
connect with the deep wisdom you have inside
If you don't know how to master connecting with your body, you are at the mercy of your unpleasant feelings, emotions, and negative and judgmental thoughts. In such cases, you try to manipulate yourself with meaningless sex, strict diets, rigorous exercises and other sports activities, pills and escape into the outside world with its countless distractions.
And you don't want that at all!
Because eventually, you will realize that this only works for a short period of time!
COME BACK TO YOUR BODY
It is time to stop running away from yourself
The body is your ALLY. Learn to listen to it. Without any compromise!
My daily job is to help stressed people like you get to know their bodies exceptionally well, so they can develop stress resistance, serenity and loving relationships in the long run!
My system demystifies stress, negative thoughts, tensions and unpleasant feelings and emphasizes that GROUNDING is always at the heart of your CALM state!
Presenting
GROUNDING
FUNDAMENTALS
This is a nine-week online course designed by an ex-physics teacher and a body psychotherapist in which you learn everything you need to know about grounding- and more. This highly structured program gives you the theoretical background and practical instructions so you can deepen your knowledge through your own practical experience.
The practical exercises take you step-by-step through the weeks and give you a detailed guide into the world of your body sensations, energy and feelings. In this way you can build a solid foundation combining conceptual and theoretical knowledge that's in synch with your feelings and emotions, enriching your own practical experience and setting a strong foundation to become more comfortable with your body and more grounded.
With your body, you're a YOU
Why grounding?
When we're grounded, we're present in the moment, we're present in reality, and we're deeply in touch with our feelings in the moment. When we're grounded, we have an inner reference point to come back to when our lives challenge us and we're out of balance. In these moments, we're in connection with our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual selves. We're centered and balanced, more stable and not easily influenced by others' ideas or people. Our perception is more precise and we have a clearer connection with ourselves, with other people, with the environment, nature and the world as it is.
We're in balance when our actions are in harmony with our thoughts and feelings. Our balance depends on how well we are connected to our bodies and how grounded we are. This affects our authentic expression, which determines how happy we're with ourselves and in our relationships, how creative we're in our work, and how satisfied we're with our careers.
That's why I'm teaching you how to ground yourself exceptionally well
Your BODY is your HOME
Let's make it stress-proof!
Think of GROUNDING FUNDAMENTALS as a firm foundation for your home.
No one would start building a home on the roof, right? But that's exactly what many do. People live in their heads, detached from their bodies, and then try countless techniques that act like a "crutch" to get into a calm state of mind!
I want you to know how to face unexpected adversity!
Develop your inner strength and stillness and learn to be grounded exceptionally well!
Grounding is a fundamental tool that helps you create the essential conditions for sustainable mental clarity, emotional regulation and stress relief.
We're talking long-term here, not temporary relief. It's about emotional and spiritual growth that comes with a foundational connection to your body! With my guidance, you will build the basic framework of your body consciousness and self-awareness, which will then continue to grow. We build your house from the bottom up!
In this brilliant, well-designed GROUNDING FUNDAMENTALS course you will learn what I have researched and practically tested with myself and my clients over the past decade
In my private practice, I often hear the question, "What can I do by myself at home to make my therapeutic process as supportive and effective as possible?"
The short answer is: Stand with your knees slightly bent and breathe, then observe your sensations in the body.
I came in contact with standing grounding exercises in my body psychotherapy training. I found it fascinating each time how my perceived sense of self changed after doing these exercises! At that time, I was still training in martial arts and was becoming more curious about standing. I was even more curious about the emotional-energetic applications of standing. There was a time when the standing grounding exercise became my daily routine. And the progress I made in my inner growth was incomparable to any other time in my life!
First, let me tell you what grounding is NOT:
Sitting in impossible positions while trying hard to "empty your mind"
Performing various martial arts forms
Mastering complicated breathing techniques
Doing excruciatingly cold water immersions (and smiling while doing it!!)
Running barefoot for miles
Cross-country running
Hugging trees
I've tried all of this and much more... ok, except for the hugging trees part! ;). To be honest, the above activities can bring you closer to the state where you feel grounded, but doing the activities just for their own sake won't be enough. You need a "secret ingredient." After years of experience and experimentation with myself and my clients, I've figured out what almost no one teaches us:
The essential know-how to connect your mind with the body in the long term.
It all boils down to simplicity.
So, don't wait any day longer and
START with your
GROUNDING ASAP!
This highly structured program provides you with a solid theoretical background and very practical guidance so that you can deepen your knowledge of your body through your own foot-on experience!
Being connected to yourself isn't only a mental thing - it's a very physical experience, and no amount of meditation or sports exercise that doesn't involve conscious body awareness will help you do that!
In the GROUNDING FUNDAMENTALS course you:
Learn and understand the importance of grounding to your overall well-being!
Master the standing technique as a priceless tool for stress relief and inner growth!
Create your own grounding plan so that nothing can surprise you because you know how to get back on track immediately and efficiently!
GROUNDING FUNDAMENTALS course is a detailed step-by-step guide into the world of your body sensations, energy, and feelings so you can build a solid foundation of conceptual and theoretical knowledge about how to feel balanced in stressful situations!
Because when you are grounded, you are:
present in the moment, in reality, and deeply in touch with your feelings
not easily influenced by other emotions, expectations, ideas, or agendas
in high-quality connection with yourself, with other people, with nature, and with the world as it is
When we are grounded, we develop an exceptional connection to our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual self, people and the world around us!
Give yourself and your body a gift of space, time and attention ... and master yourself!
Imagine your body as your child! Imagine yourself becoming an extraordinary guardian of your own body!Don't tell him/her what he/she should be, but see its uniqueness, its incredible potential, and its creative expression. Ask yourself if it is worth deepening a relationship with him/her?
What do you get with the course?

Raving reviews
This is a part where I need to disappoint you! I'm a psychotherapist and when I work with my clients, I follow the ethical standard of protecting my clients' privacy. I also protect my clients' processes and cannot use their work for testimonials. Keeping my agreements with my clients energetically intact is my top priority and I'm not willing to ask them for reviews just for the sake of marketing.
Right now I'm only working as a psychotherapist. I'm also thinking about giving workshops on grounding in the future. So, when I get some reviews from people I'm not bound by privacy agreements with, I will be happy to put them on a website.
Thank you for understanding.
But what I can do with zero problems is to give you my story with grounding. So, here it is.
My story with standing
I came in contact with standing grounding exercises in my Core Energetics body psychotherapy training. I found it very interesting how my feeling changed after we did these exercises. I was also very frustrated with myself at that time because I was able to stand in that position for a very short time. I still remember this strong pain in my right calf muscles, sometimes accompanied by a cramp, which prevented me from going deeper into the standing exercises.
Then I came across the book about chi and the power of internal martial art. In this book, I read how this martial art master was dedicated to practicing standing, and how he'd occasionally stand for up to six hours continuously, how he'd stand at night in a small cemetery where he found a quiet place to practice. This frustrated me even more.
At that time, I was still practicing my martial arts and was becoming more and more curious about standing. But I was even more curious about the emotional and later the energetic applications of the exercise. There was a period of time when the standing grounding exercise became almost my daily routine. I especially loved our annual family vacations at sea on the remote island, where I could stand even longer in the shade of the pines and explore my inner universe, surrounded by the sounds of sea waves and cicadas and immersed in the warm atmosphere of sun-warmed air.
At that time, I also had my regular weekly individual psychotherapy sessions and five-day intensive body psychotherapy training modules every two months. When needed, I also used Dynamic Energetic Healing, which I saw at the time as a more spiritual component to my explorations.
But what I regularly did on my own at home was standing.
Looking back now, I know that I made all the mistakes while standing because I was doing it on my own and I didn't have proper guidance. Besides, I thought, what could go wrong with standing, you're just standing, right? Out of all these mistakes, the rules and guidelines explained in more detail in the course were born. These rules and guidelines:
can save you a lot of time and time is important because you need a lot of it to explore yourself
protect you from unpleasant events, especially if you don't have the opportunity to process otherwise your emotional and other energetic things that may come up during the exercises
provide an optimal and safe environment for the body so it can do precisely what it needs to do, even if the standing grounding exercise is the only thing you decide to do
Over the years, I've developed an entire treatment system that I use when working with my clients, and in all of its complexity, grounding plays a central role. And standing is an essential grounding skill that anyone can use to help themselves in the process.
Do you have questions?
Here are some answers!
Over the years, I've seen many changes in my clients who were willing to invest their energy and time in grounding practices. These changes range from physical to emotional and to various lifestyle changes. The process is individual and depends on where your starting point is.
Experience shows: when people are willing to work on it regularly, after two months, the quality of how they are present with themselves and others changes qualitatively. They are also more in touch with their pleasant or unpleasant feelings while having a few more tools to deal with unpleasant feelings. As they, you, too, will be more centered and balanced. You'll have a better connection to yourself, other people, and the world as it is.
The course is designed to last nine weeks, which is a little over two months. But everyone has their own pace and it's recommended that you take it slow and give yourself more time. You will have access to the course for 18 months. Usually, a child starts walking within a period of 18 months. So that's more than enough time to acquire all the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge about grounding.
Registration is open, and you can start the course as soon as you register. This is a self-paced course and you are the boss and decide when to start!
Due to the digital nature of the course, we don't offer refunds. When you purchase this course, you get instant access to the entire course. All sales are final. Make sure you're informed before making a purchase. If you have any questions about enrollment, contact us at info@groundingfundamentals.com, we're here for you!
Grounding Fundamentals can be a great starting point for your wellness. With this online course, you will lay the foundation for your inner explorations, and then you can take them to the next level with several other programs. Grounding Fundamentals is an introductory course that teaches you the basic things about grounding and gives you practical instructions and exercises.
The focus of the course is on exercises that you can do yourself. You'll also learn why working with muscle tension can lead us to re-experience past trauma and why we can't heal trauma completely alone. Grounding is a helpful tool if you suffer from PTSD, but you need to be careful because there are usually all kinds of triggers that can trigger an extensive emotional response. Also, the intensity of the emotional reaction can vary from person to person. I recommend you consult a mental health professional before you start the course. If you decide to take the course, you should do it as a supplement to other therapies where you work individually with a therapist or in a group. And if you do the exercises alone, you must be especially careful and follow the rules explained in the course without exception.
In this course you will learn that grounding is all about connection, and emotionally, the connection is the domain of the heart. If you have a severe heart condition or have doubts about your heart condition, you should consult your doctor before beginning the course. Half of the course is doable heart-wise, but you need to be extra careful during the charging and discharging exercises.
Medications are likely to distort your internal perception to some degree and you probably need to go to work with a lot more patience. You will need to take the course content and exercises very slowly and I recommend that you consult your mental health professional before beginning the course.
Pregnancy isn't a disease. Grounding helps you connect with yourself and your growing baby. If you are in doubt about your condition, consult a gynecologist. I advise you to skip the not-so-subtle charging and discharging exercises and start them only after your baby is born.
Well, there are many different exercises and you can ground yourself in many different ways, but this course focuses on standing exercises. The only physical requirement for the course is that you are able to stand on your feet with your knees slightly bent, and it would be good if you could bend forward. If you're physically disabled and cannot stand on your feet, you can still benefit from this class by learning the basics of grounding. There are also other exercises in the course that don't require you to stand. After you learn the basics, you can find your own ways and adapt the exercises to your needs and abilities.
It's not my intention to limit your personal decision to take the Grounding Fundamentals course. However, this course isn't appropriate for individuals with any of the following conditions: diagnosed severe and persistent psychiatric disorders, suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, substance abuse, or substance dependence. If you're unsure if this course is appropriate for you, I recommend that you consult with a physician or mental health professional before beginning the course.
Don't hesitate to contact me. I want to make sure all your questions are answered so you can make the right decision for you. Email me at info@groundingfundamentals.com.
Your teacher
My name is Samo Božič and I'm a certified body psychotherapist in private practice in Slovenia. I graduated on the Netherlands institute for Core Energetics (NICE) and I'm a full member of the European Association for Body Psychotherapy (EABP).
I'm deeply invested in developing therapy work in individual and group settings, connecting issues of manhood, fatherhood, sports, nature, grounding and grounded spirituality.
I also have more than fifteen years of experience in education. Before devoting myself entirely to body psychotherapy, I was a physics teacher and later worked at the National Institute of Education in Slovenia, where I worked in various areas of education.
My main areas of work were physics in primary and secondary education, teacher education and training, teacher consultation and support, curriculum design, management and leadership of various study groups, seminars, thematic conferences, mentor networks, etc. My responsibilities also included working on the meaningful and innovative use of technology in teaching, e-learning, distance learning etc.
I also enjoy moving, being active in nature, and playing all kinds of different sports. My wife says that I'm a sports freak. When I was nine years old, I broke my collarbone while skating downhill and the only thing I remember from that event is my younger brother yelling, "I knew you were going to kill yourself!" :) My current passion is apnea training and freediving. I used to be a paraglider, have been involved in long-distance running for some time, practiced various martial arts and I have a black belt in Shotokan Karate from the Japan Karate Association.
All this formal and informal knowledge that I have accumulated over the years has given me a broad overview of how we can develop our potential and has been a great help in creating this online course.
The scientific way of thinking, my physics background and my knowledge of the laws of energy and the theoretical and practical knowledge that I acquired during my body psychotherapy training are the essential pillars of my teaching in this course. That is especially important when we start tracking our energy in the body, which is of great importance when we talk about grounding and especially when we want to feel grounded.
I'm also a devoted husband, married to Tina, who is also a psychotherapist, and we have worked together in our private practice for many years. I'm the proud father of two inspired teenage girls who enrich my life and fill my heart. My relationships are an essential part of my life. There is no college to master this area of life, only experience counts here. However, there are laws for respectful and loving family relationships.
Wanna know the six significant benefits of knowing how to and having the tools to ground yourself?
Cognitive acuity and clarity
Your mind is unbiased and open to other perspectives and can incorporate multiple points of view. Usually, you quickly move from a vicious cycle of negative thoughts that keep building up to a calmer, clearer, more perspective thinking that relates to what's going on here and now within you and your body.
Emotional intelligence and flexibility
You feel a positive attitude in your body, even in times of uncomfortable feelings. You're able to accept your good, bad, "positive" or "negative," unpleasant and ugly emotions without judging or shaming yourself, without "feeling" that you are wrong. You're able to express emotions like anger or fear in a healthy way and are able to emotionally regulate yourself properly.
An open and grateful heart
Gratitude is the ultimate way to connect with your heart. When you're grateful, your heart is open. You appreciate your life and the lives of others, your environment, nature and the people around you.
Stress reduction on the spot, better sleep and relaxation
You have fast-acting tools for immediate stress relief to deal with anxiety, panic and excessive worry. You have the ability to relax your body even without sleep, and when you go to sleep, you wake up rested in the morning.
Increased energy level
You don't waste your precious energy and keep it trapped in your body. This means you have the strength and will to do all the things you never get around to because you always feel tired.
Harmony of mind, body and soul
Your thoughts are in sync with your feelings and are accompanied by appropriate actions and behaviors. You aren't following the wants, needs and desires of others, but are in touch with and following your own.
