Grounding... |

| Grounding's not a spell, but extremely important nonetheless. It after all returns our mental condition to 'Neutral'. Psychically, it is unwise to attempt the 'gathering' of energy from your rituals - we humans are conduits to the energy of the Metaphysical realm, not hard drives! Grounding overall is the cancellation of excess stored mental energy that collects over time from rituals and even everyday life. The practice can drastically improve your state of mind - clearing up negativity and refreshing you. Without the practice of Grounding, it is even possible to become physically ill resultantly. It's always confused me a little as to how I could achieve a 'grounded' state - not unlike an earthed wire? So here's how I achieve it now. I'm always open to new ideas, so come throw some improvements my way if you see fit!!! 1. Get rid of all background noise as much as possible (harder for me to do since I've got Tinnitus...) 2. Adopt a cross-legged or 'lotus' position (if you're able - I know not everyone out there practices Yoga!) 3. Concentrate on a single 'marker' in your mind with your eyes closed, and your hands comfortable. I often, by reflex, envision a face or a line when I do this. 4. Gradually slow your breathing. Repeat a calming mantra over and over in your head as you do, this can bring oneself into induced trance. 5. Keep focusing on your marker. Sway yourself if it helps, sometimes it seems to happen unconsciously, as you reach an altogether different 'state of awareness'. 6. Bring the 'marker' completely to the forefront of your mind - see it as your connection to your physical existence... All the hardships, strenuosities and excitement that comes with being alive. 7. Feel the marker grow in intensity of these 'life attributes'. See it as a seed; ready to explode into being, explode -you- back into your physical existence... 8. Feel the marker grow in size, intensity and overall - energy. (This part always makes me tremble a little). The time has come for the excess mental anguish, the energy -you've- borrowed from the Nous, to be expelled. Now envision the marker exploding in every conceivable direction - from all angles, see 'roots' from the marker speed absolutely, -directly- DOWN, anchoring you to the very core of the Earth. 9. Stay this way for a moment. After all the build-up, the mind should now be akin to a 'calm ocean'. You should feel very relaxed, at peace with the world. 10. Now focus on your breathing and muscle control. Practiced flexing the muscles in perfect rhythm with your breathing, which should return to your 'normal' rate. 11. Open your eyes. You’re back in the Physical realm, minus several bucket loads of excess energy! Additionally, I hear some people like to add the classical 'Spell Sealer' sentence to the completion of a Grounding ritual: So Mote It Be! |
