I am called to share my spirituality. I am compelled to share the knowledge I have gained through my years of study and practice in working with the elements and the Divine Source. Let’s learn about Grounding:
Grounding is connection with the earth. There is nothing imaginary about this process - but I can guarantee you it’s magickal! It’s relatively simply and straightforward, but if you practice daily you will find that the rewards continue to expand in your life. Grounding is connecting to the Divine by centering your being in a purposeful way.
We are connected to the Mother Earth and our species has known this over many millennia. We honor her in many different cultures and under many different names: Gaia, Demeter, Terra, Rhea, Bhumi. The earth is seen as feminine because of its ability to bring life from seed. Plant a seed and it will grow with proper care. Just as a woman can bring life forth from her womb or with her words. But the gift of life is not for a woman alone. As humans, we are all blessed with the gift when we work together. As man and woman create children - as we work to harvest the fields - as we manifest growth in our life with our thoughts and actions.
To reconnect with the greens, browns, & yellows of the earth - let us call on the practice of Grounding.
Find time to be alone outside. If you have to excuse yourself from friends/family, make yourself clear. You want time to be alone and undisturbed. Go outside to a place you feel comfortable. Is it in the soft grass near a body of water? Is it near your garden, or in the trees? Pick your place and go there. Take your shoes off. Don’t be surprised if people come to find you - or animals - because they will be drawn to you & the shift in your energy. In the beginning, make it clear you need time alone before you go - but don’t force it. If you get interrupted, just go with it. Allow yourself to explain why you are in this space and what you are trying to do. Perhaps they will join you!
Take your shoes off and put your toes in the earth. Sit or stand and feel the earth. Hear the earth sounds around you. Breathe deep and slow. Close your eyes and imagine you are a tree. Your head is the leaves, your arms the limbs, and your body is the trunk. Your feet connect you to the earth. Imagine they sprout roots and dig deep into the earth. Past the first layer and deep down through the rocks. Holding fast to the earth so that no wind could move you. Flow with the wind, sway with the wind and earth. Feel the energy of life inside of the earth flow up through your roots and replenish your spirit. Let it fill you - until you are ready to release the connection. Before you do - thank the Divine for the experience of connecting and for the refreshing energy. Seal the connection without pushing the energy back out of you. It is a gift. You can keep it. You are connected to the whole earth. Try to do this daily, even for 5 mins - or at least 2 long sessions per week.
Do you have a journal!? If not, now is the time! 😊
