Spiritual Grounding

Spiritual grounding is very important for everyone... but especially critical if you havebeen doing spiritual development or psychic work. It is easy to get quite ungrounded...especially the way we live our lives today with little real connection to the earth.

It is sometimes actually necessary to be ungrounded... if you are doing processes thatelevate you to the higher realms. But afterwards it is also necessary to ground yourself...and make a connection to Mother Gaia.

Grounding/Earthing is all about the awareness that we are still in a physical body as well

as endeavouring to become spiritual workers and beings.

These notes are only guidelines to aid you on your own Spiritual path and as with allspiritual work it is often about finding your own Truth. If you disagree or feeluncomfortable with anything that is suggested here by all means find an alternativeTruth that is acceptable to you.

Why is it so important that we ground/earth ourselves?

Below you will find a few ways in which being grounded can make such a difference to

our everyday life:

Brings life in to matter and to be able to bring our healing abilities into thephysical.

Increases balance and stability in our physical and our emotional state. Helps bring acceptance that we are here to fulfil a purpose. Brings strength. Helps in creating a bridge between Spirit and matter. Provides an outlet making the release (of energy) easier. Allows the attainment of higher Spiritual levels.

As a healer it is very important to keep your patient grounded.

Being Ungrounded

Often when you are ungrounded continuously... you may not be aware that you areungrounded... but others around you may notice. If you are doing development of your

gifts... especially psychic... spiritual grounding is important to do.

Below is a list of some of the more common symptoms of being ungrounded. Usuallyeach individual will encounter the same one or two symptoms each time they areungrounded.

Dizziness or feeling spaced out Forgetting appointments or other important things Misplacing or losing things Feeling generally unwell Bumping into things or other general feelings of clumsiness Falling asleep during meditation Having out of body experiences without meaning to and feeling that they are not

within your control Sensitivity to light and noise Unable to carry on a normal conversation, including losing track of what you

were saying. Daydreaming A feeling of being 'Spaced Out' Heart palpitations Eyes flickering Weight gain Static shocks (car, supermarket trolleys etc) Having brilliant ideas that never happen Arguing and unable to get your point across

(Please note that many of these symptoms can also be linked to other physical conditionsor illnesses, if in doubt always check with your GP. Light and energy work iscomplementary to general medicine and should not be viewed as a substitute.)

Energy Grounding

Energy Grounding as a preventative measure to avoid health problems, is important.Make sure that you regularly ground yourself into the Earth Chakra.

The earth star chakra meanings relate to the very foundation of your being, withineveryday life. It also relates to energy and is your anchor into physicality... and is veryimportant for everyone, but especially spiritual people.

This chakras meaning is all about the idea of 'grounding', especially in a metaphysical

way. This chakra is where you connect to Mother Gaia to resource and reground yourbody. As you reconnect to her energy, you do two things. You draw from the earth the

vibration that enables you to become grounded... and discharge into the earth yourexcess energy.

This is particularly the build up of energy in your bodies after intense spiritualexperiences. It is important that you regularly make the connection to the earth through

your earth star chakra... to ground yourself.

If you continue to allow yourself to remain ungrounded, a variety of differentproblems...including those listed above... may develop. Most of these are unnecessaryand are totally preventable. So what action should we take?

Here are some things you can do to help bring you back down to earth:

Eating (hence sometimes the weight gain) - healthy & balanced. Drinking water Walking barefoot, especially in natural surroundings (garden, beach etc) Sports, yoga, tai chi etc. Gardening Animals eg. walking the dog Being purposeful Visualization of roots/colour (see below) Carrying/working with crystals (see below)

All of the list above is fairly self explanatory with the possible exception of visualizationand the use of crystals.

Another way to start the process of spiritual grounding is by burning white sage. If youare in the position to be able to sage yourself... begin by smudging yourself. Use eitherwhite sage alone or mixed with other fragrant herbs. These are often sold in purposemade smudging sticks.

Emotional grounding is also important and hence, walking in the water will aid youremotional body as well. This contact with the earth is a very helpful... to assist you tobegin to ground yourself.

As you do this (grounding), you release energy from your body. It is transformed intoearth energy when you discharge it into the earth below your feet. Of course if you arein a cold climate, and it is winter, walking on the earth may not be possible.

When you are not able to get outside for any reason...do a grounding meditation.Relaxing...centering... grounding... very important actions for your overall well-being.Go within, become centered... then follow through with the following visualization.

Grounding Meditations

Tree

A most effective grounding meditation involves a visualization.... for spiritualgrounding. Sit down in a chair in a relaxed position. It is best done with bare feet thatyou place flat on the floor... so that you are can feel as connected to the earth aspossible.

As you are sitting there, centered, relaxed and at peace, you need to visualize thefollowing:

Close your eyes... and start by mentally drawing a line from the bottom of your feetdown into the earth... about twelve inches below the sole of each foot. Imagine that anyexcess energy you have in your body... moves down your legs and out of your body anddown into the earth.

Now I want you to imagine that you are a tree... a beautiful tall, healthy tree. Feel rootsdescending from the soles of your feet... as you send them down deep into the earth.You go deeper into the cool moist earth, and you begin to take nourishment from it.You feel your roots growing stronger and you feel your life-force energy deepening andstrengthening.

You feel a surge of love and gratitude from Mother Gaia come up through your rootsand into the soles of your feet and up into your body. This love and gratitude is for thegift of energy you have given to her.

You spread your arms above your head, and visualize that these are your branches. Youfeel leaves growing on your branches, strong, healthy and vibrant. Your branches reachhigh into the sky... enjoying the warmth of the sun on the leaves... or the coolness ofthe moon. You reach up to make contact with spirit.... and gather the energy from theDivine Source and allow it to energize and nourish you.

You have had your fill so you allow the balance of the vibrations from the higher realmsto make its way down your body.... and slowly filter down your legs. As you allow this

energy to flow out of the soles of your feet...you give thanks for the gift you have beengiven. You feel gratitude to Spirit for the gift you have been given. You thank MotherGaia for all she does for you... as you give her this gift of your body's excess energy, tobe transformed into earth energy.

When you are ready you slowly open your eyes. You know that you can come here asoften as you like and do a spiritual grounding, and that the earth will enjoy the gift yougive her of your excess energy.

Colour

Colour can also be quite helpful, deep earthy colours such as red, brown and terracottaare always good. Again just imagine that this colour surrounds you. You can imagine itas light or a cloak or blanket, whatever is easier for you.

Sit in hot water

A hot bath or a dip in the Jacuzzi isnt just relaxing, its cleansing. Take a hot bath withsome Epsom salts mixed into the water. Water is purifying. Sitting in a warm tub ofwater will slough off any negative energy thats sticking to you. The shower is okay ifyou dont have a tub, but while youre in the shower, you want to imagine all the gunkyenergy peeling off your body and going down the drain. Sometimes other peoplesenergies can stick to us. You may come home from work with other peoples problemsattached to you. Water will clear that right up.

Sit in Stillness

Be in the present moment. Sit in a chair or better yet, sit outside on the grass under atree. Get quiet. Just look, just listen, just feel the air gliding around your body. Noticewhat you smell. Notice what you hear. Just absorb the present moment. Disallowyour mind from wandering to the future or the past. Just be in the now. Notice thatyou are alright, that nothing bad is happening to you, and that you are totally at Onewith the world around you.

Crystals

Crystals can be very helpful in the grounding process. It is best to carry them in atrouser or skirt pocket (or sock if you can make it comfortable!). Simply keep the stonewithin your aura.

You must remember to cleanse and dedicate your chosen crystal for this purpose beforeusing it. A small piece of tumbled stone will be sufficient to carry with you. Here is a listof a few easy to obtain crystals that could be used for this purpose:

Red jasper (most jaspers are good as grounders), Bloodstone, Hematite, Gold tigerseye, Carnelian, Garnet, Pyrite, Copper, Amber, Unakite.
