Grounding Demystified
Grounding is the best named of the psychic tools. It has the same meaning in the psychic world as it does in the world of physics and electricians. It's all about "flushing" the excess energy away from the device, in this case your own body. They also say "sending it to ground" as a way to describe what is happening. Even in common usage, grounding and being "down to earth" is a perfect way to describe "owning your own energy" and being in your body.
What is my excess energy? I feel like I need more energy not less, can grounding help me? Yes, it can! In a nutshell, the "excess" energies are not you and not your energy. For example, most everybody has their parents energy in their space. These can be who you are and what you should do and be. It's not just your parents of course, friends, classmates, teachers and bosses are some of the main culprits. Spirits can jump into your space as well. Ever know anybody that gets so drunk that their accent or body language changes? This can occur above and beyond the usual slurring of speech and normal body language changes while drinking. Many serial killers and the like say things like, "I didn't do this crime but I know that this body needed to be punished." The psych wards are full of people who have been unable to "own their own space". We've all heard of the religious term/concept of possession. But I digress..... the scope of spirits and possession is too large for this article and requires it's own if not it's own book.
Now that science has "discovered" a mind body connection, we all now know that visualization is more than just imagining or fantasy, you can actually move energy around!
SO HOW DO I GROUND MYSELF?
You send energy that is not you down your grounding cord to the center of the earth to be "recycled". That is it, the most basic, beneficial and POWERFUL psychic tool is just that simple.
I Think I Left My Grounding Cord in My Other Pants!
Your grounding cord is an energetic tube that runs from the tip of your spine, aka 1st chakra, to the center of the earth. It starts off smaller, grows to the size of your trash can and expands greatly as it nears the center of our planet. You may need to visualize this, as many of our grounding cords have been neglected and undeveloped.
Ground the Planet
You can ground other people, places and things as well. We can ground the entire planet, together. You can do this with only your mind, but you may have seen healers and spiritual types(shaman, priests, etc.) use hand gestures, that look like they are pushing energy down to the floor (similar to the motion you make with your hand while treading water). Sorry I can't think of a better example.
How To Ground Yourself
1. Sit in chair with feet flat on the ground, arm uncrossed
2. Visualize your grounding cord starting from the tip of your spine to the center of the earth
3 Visualize that chord/tube expanding as it descends
4. You can draw brown earth energy up through your feet, through your legs into your abdomen
5. Draw purple cosmic energy in through your head to your abdomen
6. Mix those two energies together and flush one third of it down the cord
7. This will be a stream of energy that will "clean the pipes"
8. Drop anything that isn't you into this stream for recycling
