GROUNDING

Are You Grounded? How often have you been told that "grounding" is important? What does it mean to be ungrounded anyway? Grounding exercises help tremendously with maintaining a balance of our physical and spiritual bodies. Being energetically grounded allows you to be better equipped to create and maintain wellness in your life. A quick way of grounding yourself immediately is to say to yourself: I am grounded into the core of this reality. I radiate love and light from all levels of my being. I am an anchor of love and light in this reality. I am love, I am light, I am one with Source. The following are some additional grounding techniques which are very meditative and relaxing.   Grounding Technique: Begin by focusing on your breathing. Be aware of your own body and the various points where tension are trapped. Feel the tension gathering in your chest stomach. These are tension from your toes, legs, your hips, the lower back and solar plexus. Feel the tension rising up the chest, neck, jaw and out through your nostrils in the form of smoke with every exhalation. Work next on your upper limbs as tension move from the fingers, hands, arms up the neck and out of you through each exhalation. Finally, feel the tensions, stress, negative emotions sinking downwards from the forehead and be freed as you release them in the form of smoke into the air through exhalation. Visualize a sphere of white incandescent light above your crown chakras. With each inhalation, you draw the light into your body as if the way you would with fresh air. Absorb the energy with each in breathe and through your crown chakras. Feel the warmth relaxing your forehead, face and all the way down to every single part of your body. Now there is nothing but the white light circulating through your body system. See yourself glowing in white light. You are rejuvenated and refreshed now. Looking at your feet with your mind’s eye. You see roots growing from the sole of your feet into the ground, anchoring you onto the very spot. Feel your unwanted emotions transforming into the excessive energies and see it seeping out from your soles into the ground. Focus on the breathing once again and become aware of your body, beware of the chair you are sitting on, listen to the sound from the surrounding. Returning slowly to consciousness by counting down from 10 to 1 and when you are ready open your eyes.   Grounding Exercise: Body Scan Bedtime works fine for people who don't fall asleep easily, but for those who tend to fall asleep quickly upon hitting the pillow, sitting upright in a chair is probably best. Basically this exercise is a body scan which can be helpful in becoming more fully aware of how your body feels. Aside from the body scan helping to bring the body/spirit connection to balance it is also an excellent tool in identifying physical stresses and upsets. Pain can be so overwhelming in one part of the body that the rest of the body gets neglected. The body scan is an exercise in assembling the larger hurts alongside the minutest details of stresses that you may have overlooked within your body. Be prepared to be amazed at the discoveries that you will make about your body during this process. For example: A headache may get temporary or permanent relief by altering the focus down to the feet, although this depends on the severity of the hurt you are experiencing in your head. Besides getting better grounded by doing the following body scan exercise, another benefit is that sometimes painful hurts are often miraculously lifted from us while the body scan is being done in order to help bring our awareness to the less obvious. Bring your thoughts from busy mental chatter downward by focusing on your feet. Don't rush this process. Take your time moving from each part of your body. Also, you don't need to touch yourself, just allow your mind to switch focus from wherever it is. Begin with your feet and move upwards. Notice the soles of your feet, your toes, in-between your toes, the top of your feet, the back of your ankle. Do they feel hot? or cold? Do they hurt? Are they numb? Do you feel your blood circulating through them? Are they feeling tired? Don't judge how they feel - just notice how they feel. Wiggle your toes. How does that feel? Once you have a made a strong connection with your feet you may then move your attention upwards to your ankle... then switch focus to your lower legs, onto your knee caps, behind your knees, your thighs, and so on. Keep reminding yourself not to rush. Allow yourself to breathe throughout the scanning process, especially as you come to any areas of discomfort (stressed muscles, soreness, etc.) or at any spot that feels like there may be an energy block. Once you have moved through your torso and up to your neck, drop back down to your fingertips, move your attention to the hands, up your arms and shoulders, returning your attention once again to your neck before finishing up with your focus on face and scalp.     Other Ways To Ground Yourself: Grounding techniques to help you focus on the here and now. Listen to music: Listen to your favorite type of music. Concentrate on the lyrics. It may help to sing along with the lyrics as well. Touch the things around you: Touch things in your surroundings and name each thing as you touch it either in your head or aloud. Doing so will help you concentrate on your current circumstances and reminds you that you are not in the past. Pets: Brush, pet, or play with your dog or cat if you have one. Animals can be extremely therapeutic. Even being near your pet may help you feel better. Read: When you read, you must focus on the here and now. Read a book you enjoy.
