If you’re well versed in the wellness world you definitely understand the importance of a good grounding technique. Grounding involves getting in touch with your senses, focusing purely on the things you can feel, hear, smell, and see, and shutting out the outside world along with all your busy thoughts. By focusing on your internal state you are able to let go of your external worries, making this the perfect practice for those who need a moment of mental clarity, a moment to themselves, or to reduce some anxiety. However, grounding can be a little difficult to get into on your own. It is important to set up a proper environment so that external dealings do not distract you from your internal environment. Lucky for us Dally has crafted the perfect components to aid in setting up an effective grounding experience. Their mission is to help people slow down and “enjoy the leisurely,” making their products the perfect tools for grounding.
Dally, a hand soap brand created by NYC couple Kevin and Liz, was created to encourage others to take a step back in an often hectic and fast paced world. Marketed as the “soap that takes you elsewhere,” their products are uniquely designed to evoke scents that bring you back to that happy place that is your own little oasis. The brand currently has a line of three different soaps all meant to depict different mindscapes. Each soap is accompanied by a curated Spotify playlist to help enhance your leisurely experience. By creating a product that strongly plays on your main senses, Dally has designed the ideal starter kit for a good grounding technique. Naturally crafted from botanicals and free synthetic additives, colorants, parabaens and artificial fragrances, the scents are strong yet soothingly pleasant. Perfect for creating a nice spa and zen-like ambiance, making it easier to slip into your subconscious, and the soaps obviously play on the aspect of touch as well. By adding the personalized playlist to each soap, a guided meditation-like experience is created, making it easier to block out the outside noise and focus on your inner works. Check out the list below to see how Dally can really enhance and personalize your grounding experience.
If you’re looking for a moment of warm energy … try Naps In the Grove
Thanks to its citrus ingredients, Naps In the Grove is one of Dally’s more vibrant soaps. It still has Dally’s signature earthy scent (probably due to the geranium), but the addition of neroli and orange peel extract definitely gives it a more citrus edge. Use this if you need a little revitalization. The geranium and coriander give off a very grounding feel while the citrus provides a sense of warmth that will be sure to give you a calming boost in mood. Pair with the Naps in the Grove playlist, close your eyes, and get ready to transform to a sunny afternoon.
If you’re looking for a moment of calm serenity … try Rolling Wave After Rolling Wave After Rolling Wave
This soap aims to bring you back to those lazy beach days where salt is in the air and you have not a care in the world or a plan for the day ahead. The notes of eucalyptus and peppermint give this product a very fresh and calming feel while the lavender and restorative sea salt give that one-with-nature, one-with-the-waves vibe. The aromatic experience with this product is very soothing and almost spa-like. By taking a moment to really explore how this soap affects your senses you are sure to enter a moment of calm and clarity. The accompanying playlist includes hits like “Chill Waves” and “Chamber of Reflection” that will further help you visualize a relaxing day at the beach and augment your grounding experience.
If you’re looking for a moment of hope and possibility … try Barefoot in the Grass
Barefoot in the Grass is the earthiest of this soap line. Including ingredients such as juniper, dandelion extract, and basil, this soap has an extremely floral component and is reminiscent of a field in spring.The addition of bergamot adds an upbeat, vivacious component to this otherwise soothing formula. With songs like “Orange Sky” and “Heart of Gold,” this soap’s curated playlist effectively achieves the inspiring atmosphere the brand claims to create.
