keeps you from getting "spacy"or distracted.
When to Ground:
before you do anything with any magick or ritual work.
before you sleep you'll not only sleep better, you might remember more from your dreams as well
before mediation - help you to meditate better
Method 1
1. Center yourself first.
2. Breathe deeply.
As you breathe in, feel the clean, fresh air filling your whole body, filling your Self.
As you breathe slowly out, feel the worries and problems of your everyday life, your mundane existence dropping away, through your feet into the Earth.
3. Now imagine that ball slowly putting down roots, small at first, getting thicker, through your feet and your hands.
4. Feel those roots get thicker as they go down through layers of soil and rock, pushing deep into the Earth Mother's body.
5. Imagine the water table under all those layers of earth
6. when your roots reach the water - draw the cool, fresh energy of the Earth flow up to your centered energy ball
7. blend with it
8. the Earth Power is a deep well, and you are drawing it up into yourself
through your chakras
up your spine
through the top of your head.
Feel the Earth Power fill you
rise through you like refreshing water
feel it flow through your Center
constantly providing both new energy and a route for negative and unhealthy energy to flow away
carried by the Earth Power back to the depths of the living well to be cleansed and made useful again.
9. As the energy flows through the top of your head
feel it branch out, spreading like the arms of a tree.
Feel it grow to the sky, into the stars, and touch the bright Sky Power pulsing overhead.
As it pulses, draw it down through your branches, down through those arms and into your center
to connect with your Center, to join there in union and balance with the Earth Power.
Feel the cool breezes of the Sky Power invigorate and cleanse you, bringing inspiration and joy from the vast Universe into your Center.
10. Now you are connected to the Earth Power, and the Sky Power
feel them join together in a balance in your Center, and in your Self.
You are grounded now in all things, and may journey deeper in to other realms
this is the beginning of a meditative state, the state in which the mind is ready for both magickal work and ritual.
