Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Energy is viewed as the force that integrates the body, mind, and spirit and doesn't relate to groundedness.
Rationale 2: Grounding relates to one's connection with reality. Being grounded suggests stability, security, independence, having a solid foundation, and living in the present.

Rationale 4: This relates more closely with sadness or depression than groundedness.
