Grounding, a quick how-to

Have you ever felt flighty, or scatterbrained, dizzy or generally unwell while being around high energy people or magical items?

GROUND YOURSELF!

Empaths especially need to ground themselves as they easily absorb energy and are most likely to feel ungrounded.  

I have to ground myself any time I walk into a metaphysical shop.

I like to think of grounding as the magical equivalent of a jogger stretching their legs before and after a run. it focuses you and gets you ready to get stuff done. grounding is the process of ridding yourself of negative/stale/stagnant energies, and pulling in new, fresh, powerful energies, and connecting with the energies around us.

here is a short list of ways/options of how to do it.

physically

literally shake it out. stretch, crack your knuckles, etc. breathe, roll your neck around, clench your fists and  then stretch them wide open. 

Eating reminds us that we are human and pulls us back into feeling a part of our physical bodies.

visualization / the tree method

imagine tree roots growing out of your feet and into the ground, and branches growing out of your arms/head into the sky. pull energy into yourself through the roots/branches

Grab Your Hematite!

Hematite or any crystal associated with the root chakra actually,  Meditate it and feel it's energy.

others

you can invent your own ways to ground. as long as it involves pulling energy into you (from whatever source, it doesn’t just have to be the earth) and connecting with the sources around you.
