If you have been doing a lot of mental work (which is the most common cause of ungroundedness in your culture), then to do a grounding where you imagine the sun coming down, or where you open your chakras from the top does not make a lot of sense, because you are just bringing in more of the energy that is already unbalancing you.

If you have been doing a lot of mental work (which is the most common cause of ungroundedness in your culture), then to do a grounding where you imagine the sun coming down, or where you open your chakras from the top does not make a lot of sense, because you are just bringing in more of the energy that is already unbalancing you. It is better in this case to doa grounding where you imagine that you are a plant sending roots down intothe earth, or where you sit with something really earthy and let it groundyou for a while.

You can evenput stones in your bath tub if you would like, either crystals or earth stones, to help accentuate the energy you feel you need. When your body is tensed from unexpressed emotions, and your mind is flying all over the map trying to find resolution, a water grounding is especially helpful: take a bath, cry, slowly drink a large glass of water, run until you work up a sweat, shower, water your garden, imagine yourself being dipped in a well and washed clean of your troubles.

Put earth stones in your bathtub to help ground you. So manyof you, and we mean this especially about those of you in the New Age culture who are trying to open up to new/old spiritual practices, pick up all kinds of techniques from various traditions, without really understanding thoroughly what they are good for, and what context best supports them. And so we see a lot of people trying to do groundings that don't really ground them.

The weight and metal of the iron bring in magnetic energy, the electricalcurrent and heat bring in sky. And the symbolic effects of clearing out wrinkles help your mind to unfurl as well. But if you do not like to iron, then find other simple household tasks that mix energies. Sweeping is a good activity to bring in earth energy and move your air energy (spinning mind) into a more consoling rhythm. Scrubbing pots and pans is good grounding to release too much mental energy, the metal and water combining to bring in more earth.

If you are too hot and feeling logy, bringing in air (turn on a fan) and water (drink some) will help to balance you.This is just common sense. If you are at your desk and feeling low energy,lighting a candle and gazing at it for a while can re-vitalize your energy. Do you see why many spiritual rituals begin with a bath or cleansing (water), the sweeping of the floor and arrangement of furniture (earth), the lighting of candles (fire) and music or the lighting of incense (air)?

Otherwise, you may find yourself mentally or physically knocked off balance. Meditators who do not take time to activate the flow of magnetic energy in their bodies will find their bodies signaling this fact with aches, pains, and over time, injury. Physical laborers, dancers, or healers who do not take time to cleanse and unify their sky energy, will find themselves unable to concentrate and more vulnerable to accidents.

If you have been doing a lot of mental work (which is the mostcommon cause of ungroundedness in your culture), then to do a grounding where you imagine the sun coming down, or where you open your chakras from the top does not make a lot of sense, because you are just bringing in more of the energy that is already unbalancing you. It is better in this case to do a grounding where you imagine that you are a plant sending roots down into the earth, or where you sit with something really earthy and let it ground you for a while.

You can even put stones in your bath tub if you would like, either crystals or earth stones, to help accentuate the energy you feel you need. When your body is tensed from unexpressed emotions, and your mind is flying all over the map trying to find resolution, a water grounding is especially helpful: take a bath, cry, slowly drink a large glass of water, run until you work up a sweat, shower, water your garden, imagine yourself being dipped in a well and washed clean of your troubles.

Put earth stones in your bathtub to help ground you. So many of you, and we mean this especially about those of you in the New Age culture who are trying to open up to new/old spiritual practices, pick up allkinds of techniques from various traditions, without really understanding thoroughly what they are good for, and what context best supports them. Andso we see a lot of people trying to do groundings that don't really groundthem.

The weight and metal of the iron bring in magnetic energy, the electrical current and heat bring in sky. And the symbolic effects of clearing out wrinkles help your mind to unfurl as well. But if you do not like to iron, then find other simple household tasks that mix energies. Sweeping is a good activity to bring in earth energy and move your air energy (spinning mind) into a more consoling rhythm. Scrubbing pots and pans is good grounding to release too much mental energy, the metal and water combining to bring inmore earth.

If you are too hot and feeling logy, bringing in air (turn on a fan) and water (drink some) will help to balance you. This is just common sense. If you are at your desk and feeling low energy, lighting a candle and gazing at it for a while can re-vitalize your energy. Do you see why many spiritual rituals begin with a bath or cleansing (water), the sweeping of the floor and arrangement of furniture (earth), the lighting of candles (fire) and music or the lighting of incense (air)?

This is especially important for those of you who work at desks or computers all day. Take frequent breaks to bring in more earth -- stretch your muscles, walk, admire a potted plant, discuss practical details or sports with someone,bring your attention to your lower body, firmly planted on the chair, and let its weight and solidity filter into your awareness more fully, pulling you down out of your head.

Many of your problems are a result of energy that has built up in you and is seeking release in unhealthyways. The more you bring play into your life, the more you bring in activities which allow you to recognize your energy and work with it, both literally and symbolically, the more securely you will feel grounded in this life, no matter what turmoil is happening "out there" in the world."
