A Word on 'Grounding'

Grounding is essential in any kind of spiritual work, as well as in everyday life. Grounding is showing man's respect and connection to the earth's energies. Think of it like the electrical grounding system of every house. Grounding helps in centering and focusing on the body and to live in the present.

This process fosters a feeling of stability in moments of insecurity, it offers a calming effect when emotions are running high; it leaves you in peace and in harmony withinand with the world around you. Grounding is about gathering together all of your energies - mental, emotional and physical, calming your thoughts and feelings to bring about inner harmony and balance.

Method Of Grounding

Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Place your hands on your thighs. Focus your attention on your body. Begin with your feet. Then slowly, and thoroughly, move your awareness up through your legs, thighs, torso arms, neck and head. Focus on your breathing. Imagine that you are surrounded by light. As you breathe in, inhale this light, and feel your body filling with it. As you breathe out, exhale any tension, any pain you may feel in your face, your shoulders, your whole body. Inhale Light. Exhale tension until you are relaxed and calm.
