Introduction
We live in a materialistic world where we use transport to get us from one place to another, shoes to walk in, and environments that are becoming concrete jungles by the day. We are depleting ourselves of our natural states. We are losing touch with the earths ability to charge us and in doing so, we are becoming “insulated living beings” with more and more unnatural diseases (or as I like to call them dis-eases) affecting us.
Why Grounding is important
Did you know that we are negative ions and Mother Earth’s surface layer is positive ions, and when we place our bare feet on soil, we naturally charge. There are many scientific studies on this subject and one famous person, Clint Ober, from Earthing.com has dedicated his life and technical background to prove that we are so NOT grounded. But, it is not always possible or realistic to walk about bare foot. Check out his website here
But, it is not always possible or realistic to walk around bare foot, especially if you live anywhere that is not warm.
Preparation
In a quiet space, close your eyes and breathe in, through your nose, for the count of 4. Exhale through your mouth for the count of 6. Repeat this cycle a few times, ensuring you slow down the counting at each cycle. This will ensure you engage the “Alpha brain wave state”. Your mind will naturally wander and when it does, just place your focus back to counting. Once you are in a tranquil position, feel your presence in your body and how deep into your seat you are at this moment. Notice the weight of your hands on your thighs and your whole body feeling heavier and relaxed.
Grounding
Place your focus on your root chakra which is at the base of your spine. Feel the energy pulsing there. Now imagine a root extending from this area and moving down into the earth. See it going down, down, down all the way to the centre of Mother Earth. Relax. As you approach the earth’s core, you start to see a golden light glowing and as you inch closer, you notice the ambience of this light is a large teardrop-shaped crystal. Its shape and form is beautiful and the golden glow is so mesmerising and magical looking. You immediately sense that the energy emanating from this crystal is calm, inviting and waiting to be absorbed. Instinctively, your roots start wrapping around the golden crystal. See it wrap as many times as you desire. Start pulling up this golden energy from Mother Earth through your root and back towards your lower body. Up, up, and up it travels til finally, you feel its gentle, loving energy in your root chakra. Let it sit here. Beautiful.
Sit here for as long as you like absorbing this beautiful energy. You can take as much energy from Mother Earth as you need. You will now feel you are even more weighted into your seat and super relaxed.
