Grounding and Protection Exercise

[stef]

Prepare your space and yourself so that there will be no interuption. Sit in an upright chair, or at least sit up straight with your feet firmly on the ground. Take in a good breath and breathe out some of the stresses of the day; when you breathe out do it as noisily and forcibly as possible, no one will hear you, so really push away those stresses. Repeat another twice. Relax as much as possible and start to visualise or imagine roots growing from the bottom of your feet down into the floor. The roots are like plant roots that can be main roots with smaller roots growing off them. Let the roots grow down into the earth via whatever route you imagine. If you are in a high building, see the roots grow down the walls until they meet the ground. Let the roots work their way through the earth, through various layers of rock until you begin to see an orange or golden light. Let your roots grow towards this light. It might be better to say do not try to stop them as they can move towards the light at great speed.

When the roots reach this light, they will either try to surround it or grow into it. When the roots have done either of these, start to see the energy move up through the roots, in the same way as you may imagine a plant taking in water. Watch the energy come back along the roots. The first few times you try the exercise the energy may move relatively slowly, as you get used to it, it will speed up. Stay with the roots and moving energy. When they get to your feet, this time receive the energy in both feet and see and feel it filling your feet up. There are several sensations you may perceive. Each person feels these things slightly differently. You may feel a tingling sensation, or warmth, or a glowing feeling or you may just visualise the energy without having a physical connection. All of these and others are perfectly noirmal, there is no right, or better way. Whatever you feel and see is the right result for you.

Now let this energy work up your legs, into your calves, into your knees and into your thighs. Again, this may take a little time but stay with it and without trying too hard feel the sensation. When your legs are full feel the energy move into your pelvic region and start to fill up your lower abdomen. Visualise it going into all your organs and up to your chest. You may continue to feel warmth or tingling or this may change as you see the energy filling up your body. Let the energy carry on up into your upper body and when it reaches your shoulders see it travel down your arms and into your hands. See it travel back up your arms and into your neck, into your head and face until it reaches the top of your head.

When the energy reaches the top of your head let it out in a fountain so that it cascades all around you, falling down onto the ground. You can keep this fountain going for a while so that the flow into your feet is always as fast as the flow from the top of your head. An important aspect of this exercise is to see the energy or light returning into the ground. You can imagine either that it is going straight into the ground or it is forming puddles that slowly sink into the earth.

That is the end of the first part of this exercise. Maintain your position; visualise a star above your head with white silvery light coming down towards you. This white silvery light, the star energy, enters into the top of your head and starts to fill your head with clear, crisp energy. Feel this energy working its way down through your body in the reverse pattern of the roots' energy. When it reaches your feet see the energy come out of the bottom of your feet and sink into the earth. Again it is important that the energy goes into the earth.

Give yourself time to come round and see how you feel. You should feel more solid and connected to the earth, less fearful and possibly glowing.


This is a very good exercise to do if you have a lot of negativity around you.

This grounding exercise is excellent! I'm sitting here a little dazed, and fully feeling "reiki fire!" The only reason I can even type right now is because I'm used to dealing with spiritual/energetic things of varying natures. I'm loving this! Thank you, Stef!

Stef, that was worded so well to follow......nice! I was taught the same, but use my Chakras as a focus, one color at a time, bringing them up from my roots to their point & the white light coming down to meeting them, finnishing with a cacon of Amber. It's a great meditation & I love the energies I get from Mother Earth. So glad you shared that!!

[lightsoulja]

Could this be similar to a technique which goes as follows:

Sit up right, feet firmly on the ground, breath deeply, as you get relaxed go inside your body, see it hollowed out then see the electric blue Reiki energy pouring into your crown flowing down to your feet.

With each breath see this liquid light flow, flowing down into your feet creating a pool of blue electric light, on each inhalation see this energy fill your body more and more as the pool rises to your ankles, on each exhalation breath out the negative, all your worries and stresses of the day as the blue electric light illuminates your body from the inside.

As the energy fills up your entire body and reaches the lungs, see this energy pouring into your veins into the oxygenated blood as it carries around your body, as this energy reaches your head see it over-flow and spill over your whole body, as it does so, see it moving through every part of your body, though your cells to your bones.

The first time I did that one I felt my upper chest vibrating with energy as it flow through my whole body and my blood carried it around, very relaxing.

So I can imagine combining the two would have a lovely effect as the energies from Earth and Heaven balance your whole being.

Alternate infamous viewpoint :

ON THE CHOICE OF A HUMAN SACRIFICE

The supposed purpose in performing the ritual of sacrifice is to throw the energy provided by the blood of the freshly slaughtered victim into the atmosphere of the magical working, thereby intensifying the magician's chances of success.
The "white" magician assumes that since blood represents the life force, there is no better way to appease the gods or demons than to present them with suitable quantities of it. Combine this rationale with the fact that a dying creature is expending an overabundance of adrenal and other biochemical energies, and you have what appears to be an unbeatable combination.
The "white" magician, wary of the consequences involved in the killing of a human being, naturally utilizes birds, or other "lower" creatures in his ceremonies. It seems these sanctimonious wretches feel no guilt in the taking of a non-human life, as opposed to a human's.
The fact of the matter is that if the "magician" is worthy of his name, he will be uninhibited enough to release the necessary force from his own body, instead of from an underserving victim!
Contrary to all established magical theory, the release of this force is NOT effected in the spilling of blood, but in the death throes of the living creature! This discharge of bioelectrical energy is the very same phenomenon which occurs during any profound heightening of the emotions, such as: sexual orgasm, blind anger, mortal terror, consuming grief, etc. Of these emotions the easiest entered under one's own volition are sexual orgasm or anger consuming grief, with grief running a close third watch a Korean movie called [APT] if you don't see where I'm going with this. Remembering that the two most readily available of these three (...) has been burned into man's unconscious as "sinful" by religionists, it is no small wonder they are shunned by the "white" magician (he has a point) who plods along carrying the greatest millstones of guilt!
The inhibitive and asinine absurdity in the need to kill an innocent living creature at the high point of a ritual, as practiced by erstwhile "wizards," is obviously their "lesser of the evils" when a discharge of energy is called for. These poor conscience-stricken fools, who have been calling themselves witches and warlocks, would sooner chop the head off a goat or chicken in an attempt to harness its death agony, than have the "blasphemous" bravery to masturbate in full view of the Jehovah whom they claim to deny! The only way these mystical cowards can ritualistically release themselves is through the agony another's death (actually their own, by proxy) rather than the indulgent force which produces life! The treaders of the path of white light are truly the cold and the dead! No wonder these tittering pustules of "mystic wisdom" must stand within protective circles and bind the "evil" forces in order to keep themselves "safe" from attack ONE GOOD ORGASM WOULD PROBABLY KILL THEM!

- Anton Szandor LaVey

Sorry I couldn't resist its about time someone quoted that in here.

I embellished it a bit with pertinent information.
You could try masturbating to Marilyn Monroe to summon her from the dead but I doubt it would work unless she really likes you.
[APT], a Korean horror movie, demonstrates that sympathy and grief often do the trick.

Its a great movie to watch if you have interest in shamanism....

See : Korean Shamanism (Muism)

If any of you are surrounded by negativity you probably have something you need to work on to get some positivity back

LaVey is onto something in that chapter. I don't actually believe he even knew what he was talking about. He was widely read and rituals sacrificing animals are not new. But his linking of emotional sacrifice with magical power was new. And pioneering. and any system of reiki is based on this principle.

There is a self-attunement guide within that rambling paragraph if you stop and think about it.

he just skims over it but its there

Korean shamanism is necromancy
Its called shamanism but it has nothing to do with animal spirits. Necromancy is a 'bad word' but thats a better term for it. Its not like other kinds of shamanism.

In other words I completely disagree with you

There is no good and evil

Spirits might be angry, or happy with you, but there is no long lasting negativity.

the nature of karma, if you will, is dualistic in a waxing and waning nature

Just saying not everyone thinks grounding is necessary
