Grounding is a powerful technique that most people already know. They use it before and/or after meditative/spiritual or intuitive work to come back to their bodies and to continue their daily life. I noticed lately that very few people know that grounding can also be a healing tool, especially if you combine it with healing visualizations.
Grounding at it's most basic
Grounding is a return to your body, a return to the now and a return to your senses. It can be achieved by a variety of means: eating or drinking, doing some exercise, jumping, dancing or anything else physical. It can also be achieved by visualizations like growing roots down to earth or other visualizations.
Grounding in itself makes sure you feel centered, stable, comfortable and relaxed. As a technique it's also used in rape or abuse situations to combat disassociation.
Grounding as a Healing Tool
Centered, stable comfortable and relaxed sounds great, so why don't people ground more regularly? We often feel that the only time we 'leave' our bodies is if we do intuitive work, meditation or other spiritual practices. If we are aware and energy conscious we notice that most of our energy seems to be 'outside', so it's a good idea to get it back in. However, in our daily lives a lot of times our energy can be imbalanced (too much in the head, heart or stomach area) or outside of ourselves (too much towards others).
That's exactly why Grounding Regularly can help you heal in powerful ways. Your energy will be balanced within you and can be used to heal and strengthen yourself. Even better: you can combine your grounding work with adding extra healing energy, releasing trauma's and much more!
Grounding Exercise with added Energy and Cleansing
This is my most used Grounding exercise when I need to add some energy and start my day balanced and clean.
- Sit somewhere comfortable and relaxed and start feeling your whole body
- Feel your body from the top of your head, down towards your feet
- Let roots grow from your feet down into the earth
- They grow longer and longer, hitting the middle of the earth
- Let the roots feed you and feel the energy from the middle of the earth up your roots, until it reaches the top of your head
- Enjoy the lovely earth energy within your whole body
- Retract your roots from the middle of the earth and up into your body until they are completely absorbed
- From up above, feel a shower of light fall down upon your body
- Feel that shower cleanse your body completely
- Take a few breaths and slowly open your eyes
Sometimes what we need is not so much healing of the body, as in the previous exercise, but healing of the heart. This exercise can of course be combined with the previous one. If you find yourself needlessly worrying about things beyond your control or if you are in emotional turmoil, doing this exercise regularly will certainly give you great benefits.
- Sit somewhere comfortable and relaxed and start feeling your whole body
- Feel your hurting head and imagine all your worries centered there
- Feel how a bridge is formed between your worries and the Love of God/The Universe/Guides/Angels etc.
- See how all your worries are moved unto that bridge to the other side
- Hear in your head the words: "We will take care of you, just be open to guidance"
- Take a few breaths and repeat the mantra until your worries have melted away
- Feel your hurting heart and again allow a bridge to be formed between your hurt and the Love of God/The Universe/Guides/Angels etc.
- Allow your hurt to be moved unto the bridge
- Feel in your heart the words: "You are not meant to be in pain, learn the lesson and move on"
- Take a few breaths and repeat the mantra until your hurt has melted away
- Allow yourself to be cocooned in light and strength
- When you feel up to life again, take a few breaths and slowly open your eyes
