Grounding
Hello everyone
Several times in the past, I've been asked to talk about grounding.
But in order to talk about grounding
we have to understand that we're talking about
multi-dimensional occurrence from a third-dimensional perspective
using third dimensional language.
Your consciousness is much like a stream
and as your consciousness streams through multiple dimensions
the parts of your consciousness that are focused into one dimension or another
are called aspects.
That's why if you meet people who go out of body often
you might hear something like my tense dimensional aspect
attended someone who is out of body
during a vehicle crash last night.
To ground yourself means to fully connect and phase
with the perspective of your physical dimensional aspect.
Your consciousness is not as much as finite clump of energy
as it is an infinite current of energy.
For this reason, it is easily compared to electricity
removing the excess electric charge from an object is called grounding.
Removing the excess emotional charge that is a result of getting lost
in a non-physical dimensions of thought is also called grounding.
When we pull our focus back to our physical dimensional aspect
we entrain with the frequency of Earth itself.
We allow energy to move through our root chakra
We allow ourselves to be fully present here with our physical bodies
and physically incarnated perspectives.
For this reason though, grounding is particularly difficult
for people who have suffered from any kind of abuse.
or sexual abuse especially.
People who feel unsafe in their physical bodies.
Anyone who feels traumatised will find it more safe
to be out of their body, exploring other realms and dimensions
in this Universe.
To be fully phased might have been dangerous
but there's a problem when people begin to become safe
that is when we become safe it's no longer beneficial for us
to spend our time outside of body.
That actually intereferes with our day-to-day life.
So if you've ever experienced some kind of event
which makes it so that you feel unsafe in your physical body
grounding is actually very good for you.
When we have suffered in the past,
we tend to frequently go back to the past in our minds.
Grounding pulls us out of those traumatic memories
and into the stability and safety of the present moment.
Grounding is the perfect remedy for anyone who is feeling
stressed, triggered, regressed, rushed, overworked, confused
overwhelmed, panicked, angry, clumsy or drained.
I'm gonna provide you with some tips which will help you to ground
because this video is all about how to ground yourself.
Tip number one is walk barefoot on the Earth.
The Earth maintains a negative electrical potential on its surface
when you are in direct contact with the ground
walking, sitting or laying down on the Earth's surface
the Earth's electrons are conducted to your body.
Bringing it to the same electrical potential as the Earth itself.
In other words, when you are in contact with the Earth
its tranquil energy naturally transfers to any conductive object.
Whether it's a metal rod, tree, a plant or an animal
or a human
and they become grounded.
Throughout history, humans have walked barefoot on the ground
which naturally discharges and prevents a build-up of electrical stress.
Your immune system functions optimally
when your body has an adequate supply of electrons
which are easily and naturally obtained by barefoot contact with the Earth.
Laying on the ground also helps. Doing squats with your palms on the ground.
or touching your forehead to the ground also works.
Obviously, gardening is a very grounding activity as well.
The second tip is to bring your attention to the present moment
fully to the now.
One of the best ways to do this is to perform a body scan.
You take a deep breath sitting in a comfortable position
and you begin to internally scan your full body starting at your toes.
What do your toes feel like? Are there any sensations you can perceive?
Do they feel hot? Are they tingly?
Do they feel heavy? Just notice what you see and perceive there?
And move your way up through the legs, up through the pelvis,
all the way up your spine and your torso
up through your head, down through your arms
You're just observing the way that your body feels
in this moment. You wanna be where you are physically
so you may wanna walk around the room and pick up things
and just notice how it feels to touch those things.
You can run cold water over your hands .
You can notice not only what's going on in your body
but what's going on in your environment.
It may even help to list things.
So if I was to do it right here in this moment,
I would say
pool cues hanging on the wall
the sound of the refrigerator
the feeling of the cold air against my skin.
Any kind of attention to the present moment
is going to ground you in your body right here and now.
Eat root vegetables.
Anything that grows under the surface of the Earth will help you connect with Earth's energies.
because in order for that vegetable to grow inside the Earth
it has to entrain with Earth's energy more so than other things.
Some examples of grounding foods are:
potatoes, turnips, carrots, beets, sweet potatoes and radishes.
Some people like to argue that eating meat is very grounding.
This is not actually the case. Eating meat decreases your frequency
Grounding your frequency and decreasing your frequency are not the same thing.
Utilise grounding stones.
As I said in my video on crystals, any time you share the space with something
an object, a crystal, anything
you have to entrain to match the frequency of that object
or the other way around.
But when it comes to a rock or a mineral
they hold such a solid vibration that it's much less likely
they're gonna match your vibration
Much more likely that you're going to raise your frequency
to match theirs.
So keep grounding stones with you.
You can wear them as jewellery or keep them in your pocket.
Some examples of grounding stones are:
hymatite, smokey courts, absydian, red coral,
onyx, just kidding,
black termaline, ruby, garnit, pyrite, tiger iron and black ople.
Utilise grounding scents.
A scent just like a stone or anything else is a vibration.
When you have a scent around you, you are forced to entrain
with that energy or move out of that space.
So you can use this to your advantage.
I think the best way to use scents when it comes to grounding
is to use essential oils.
And everyone has their own perspective about what essential oils are the best for grounding.
But here's my favourite essential oils for grounding:
cedar, vetiver, benzoine, myrrh, sandalwood, cyprus, oak moss, patchouli, rosewood
chamomile, ylang ylang.
You can also use lavendar which is good at convincing the consciousness
to relax into the physical.
You can use these oils alone or you can combine them.
One of the best ways to do this is to get a spray bottle.
But make sure the spray bottle isn't plastic.
It has to be glass or metal.
You wanna fill it with spring water.
Not tap water, because tap water can actually dilude and corrupt the essential oils.
So one you've filled up the spray bottle with water
you wanna drop a few drops of each essential oil in there.
And then you wanna potentially put a grounding stone with it.
And you can shake it up really nice and then spray it
on yourself throughout the day.
You can use colour to ground yourself as well.
Colour is a very powerful vibration so you can wear that colour
or you can visualise filling your body up with the colour.
The colour that's used for grounding the most is red because red is associated with the root chakra.
which is the chakra which deals with grounding.
You can also use browns or blacks. All of these colours are grounding colours.
Use sound to stimulate your root chakra.
Certain crystal balls, metal balls, and alchemy balls
have been designed so that the sound they emit stimulates and balances your root chakra.
This grounds you binaural rhythms also do this.
You can find binaural beats and rhythms made specifically for the root chakra
for grounding for free on YouTube.
But you can also purchase them and listen to them in your car
and when you go to sleep at night.
In my opinion, the best way to use sound when it comes to grounding
is to tone.
When you're toning, you're using your own voice
to stimulate areas of your body and you can use your own voice
to stimulate your root chakra.
The way you wanna do this is to hum a tone
Start high and then go low
The root chakra vibrates at a very low frequency
And you want to pay attention to the sensation you feel in your body
relative to that tone.
So if you start high, you might feel the vibration
somewhere here in your chest or here in your stomach.
As you go low, you feel that vibrating sensation
move down.
You want to move that sensation down between your legs
or even the base of your tail bone and hold it there.
So for me, the tone, if I was gonna do this
I would start high like this
[humming]
and then I would watch it go down like so.
[humming]
That final note is my root chakra note for my body in terms of toning.
So that's the note I want to hit if I want to stimulate my root chakra.
Spend time around grounded individuals.
People are the same as colours and scents or stones.
They hold their own vibration.
Some people are grounded than other people.
And sometimes a person is more grounded on a day than another person.
So if someone's particularly ungrounded, being around someone who is grounded
can be very beneficial.
Especially if they have close physical contact.
One of the best ways to do this is to hold the palms of their hands
another way to do this is to have the person who's more grounded
walk up behind the person who's ungrounded
and put their palm underneath ??? of the person's head
and then to move their hands down to the back top of the hips
and to keep their hands there for the count of eight.
Do grounding meditations and visualisations.
There are many of these grounding visualisations and meditations available.
So if you enjoy guided meditations, do a search for grounding meditations
and grounding visualisations and give them a try
until you find one that works for you.
My personal favourite is to visualise myself as a tree.
To begin this particular visulisation, I begin by raising my hands
on the in-breath and bringing them down on the out-breath four times.
So it looks like this.
[breathing in]
[breathing out]
So I'm doing it four times after I'm done with that
I'm visualising my energy sinking down into the centre
of the Earth.
I'm visualising myself becoming a tree.
As my energy goes down, it goes far enough
that it hooks itself into the centre of the Earth
and then I pull that energy back up through my body.
I then visualise that I have roots growing from my feet
that are working its way into the centre of the Earth.
and pulling that energy up through the totality of my body
I maintain the in-breath and the out-breath
in order to pull in Earth energy and breathe out whatever blockages I have
in my body. This is a very grounding visualisation.
Take a salt bath.
I'm not talking normal table salt. That's toxic.
The salt I am talking about is:
sea salt, solar salt, sulphur salt, Hawaian salt or Himalayan salt.
Those are just some examples.
It's no mistake that salt is notorious for healing the physical body
it holds one of the most purifying vibrations around.
This is why we use it to neutralise energy in healing crystals.
Immerse your body for at least 20 minutes
add one to two cups of high quality salt to your bathtub while you're running the water.
And just like you did with the essential oil mister bottle
go ahead and add your favourite grounding stones to the bath as well.
Maintain and strengthen your body. We, spiritual types, tend to be so focused
into the spirit and into the mind that we forget that the body
is a very necessary part of our spiritual practice.
So taking the time to exercise and to eat healthy foods
is focusing on your body. That will help you to ground yourself
here in the third dimension in the physical dimension.
The ability to consciously ground yourself
is a very important tool to have when it comes to spiritual practice.
Because the physical master is not only a person who can use his consciousness
to transcend the physical dimension but he is also the person
who is able to fully engage their consciousness with the physical dimension.
So go ahead and try these tips.
And have a good week.
