Grounding is an important first step in any energy work.  We are all part of the earth and staying connected to the earth’s energies can help us stay focused, stable and balanced.  It’s a good idea to ground yourself before an energy healing session or just to balance your energies.

 

Here are few simple techniques to get you started:

 

1. Stand barefoot on the grass or dirt and imagine that you are drawing in the earth’s energy through your feet, up into your body.  Breathe deeply.

 

2.  Meditate while holding a stone or crystal and try to connect with and feel its subtle energy.

 

3.  Hug a tree!  That’s right, take a nature walk and touch the trees and plant life around you.

 

4.  Visualization is a very powerful tool to help you ground yourself.  Remember – “Energy Follows Thought”.  Visualize that you are sprouting roots out of the bottoms of your feet.  “See” the roots working into the soil and growing deep into the earth.  Imagine that you are soaking up the earth’s energy through your roots and up into your body.

 

You’re grounded! (but you can still go out and play)
