An instant grounding exercise, works anywhere. Try this?
Stand. Imagine your feet are in a pool of water. You can give it a color, if you like. Gold is a favorite of mine.
Breathe in and as you do, imagine that water being sucked into your feet, up your legs, up your spine, to the very top of your head. Hold it there to the end of the inhale. Then, as you breathe out, send that water down the front of your face, down your neck, through your heart, abdomen, front of your legs, right back into the pool of water.
Repeat. Sometimes as little as three times, sometimes up to 10.
(You may find that it is difficult to imagine that water coming through, and all the way up, your body to the top of your head in just a single inhale. That's okay. Inhale it up as far as you can, then imagine holding it in that spot while you exhale. On the next inhale, start where you left off (rather than back in the feet) and pull that water up from that higher starting place. If you still don't get to your head, hold the water wherever you get to for the next exhale, then start pulling up from the from new higher location. Eventually you will get that water up to your head! Pushing it back down is usually pretty easy.)
If you are outside, never underestimate the remarkable grounding power of hugging a tree. Or throwing yourself on the grass face down arms spread. I've had to do this in front of people . . . .
