We are in a symbiotic relationship with Mother Earth. She is a source of energy and power for all life and this amplifies the more we choose it. As established when we discussed Gaia, the Earth is actually reflecting in real time the collective state of the consciousness of humans as a whole. The raising of her vibration in these times is aligned with the raising of the human vibration with the influx of higher frequency energy over the past 25 years. For our purposes here, it is necessary to know that the earth serves our vibration in powerful ways. So, it is essential that we become aware of and create regular attunement with the Earth in order to live fully in our body.
To be grounded means to be fully integrated in the physical body, aware of the movement and flow of emotions, thinking in life affirming thoughts, and knowing our expanded connection and sourcing from the Cosmos. In other words, we live in our home. Too many people are not grounded and thus feel lost and separate. Spiritual seekers often do so at the expense of their body, where unprocessed woundings and abuses move like specters in the darkness
Grounding involves a choice to feel the body, to establish and massage a connection with Earth, to trust that life affirms life, to allow a two way communication stream with many forms of guidance, and to know that we are powerful and safe by both design and conscious integration.
It is imperative to always and in all ways be grounded. It allows us to be fully present in the moment with access to all of our skills, talents, powers, and capabilities. How to do so is a many sided adventure:
- Be aware of your feet upon the Earth. Stomp your feet and know that each step activates the root chakra connection.
- Activate awareness of the Earth Star oval plate chakra 18” below the feet in the Earth. Know that it is the energetic interface with Earth. Bring up the power and clarifying energy of the Earth through the left foot and leg to then wash through the complete body energetic. Any debris or toxicity is then swept to the right where it moves down the right side out through the soul of the right foot to be used by the Earth as energy for the highest good.
- Visualize roots or lines of energy going from each foot and the Root chakra to the molten core of the Earth. Visualize and feel the energy coming up through the three roots to solidify the connection with the planet.
- Dance, especially Native Dances that have solid steps on the Earth. Chant and dance Kuake Lano Lano, Wichi Ti Ti, Mother I feel You Under my Feet, Apache Power song, Wani Wachialo, Wa Taho,
- Get out on the Earth. Walk barefooted. Spend time in the ocean, in a river, in a puddle. Stand, sit and lay upon big rocks and boulders. Pick up stones to carry for awhile. Watch clouds and breathe deeply. Stand in the wind and let it cleanse your auric field, front side and back side. Hug a tree. Talk and listen to plants. Drink teas that bring you into your body. Hold on to minerals and gems, especially smoky quartz and obsidian, to give an earth connection. Go to power spots, intersection points of ley lines, sacred spaces, caves, and mountains.
- Shower and bathe, especially in Epsom Salts. Wash your hands and feet. Invite yourself back into your body. Do a soul retrieval. Use rattles and smudging with White Sage, Cedar, and Sweet Grass. Use crystal bowls or Tibetan Bowls or gongs to clear the field and reactivate the feet.
- Breathe
- Make sound with your voice using the uh, ooo, and oooh phonetic. Move while you do it. Drum alone or in a circle. Draw or look at mandalas or sacred geometry shapes. Om while you are doing it.
