In practice
Practitioner method
Practitioners often suggest slow walking, time outdoors and steady daily routines as grounding practices.
In an aura report, the practitioner describes this centre in these traditional terms. The reading reflects a tradition; it is not a measurement and not a medical finding about this part of the body.
