After psychic protection, Energy ground connection it is probably the most important skill you can develop if you are interested in psychic or energy work.

What is grounding?

Grounding your energies it means bringing them back to a more physical and earthy vibration. This is an essential skill to learn for psychic development, as you need to return to physical reality after working on other levels.

It’ll also come in handy if you’re ever feeling a bit ‘out of faerie’ and it’s a key skill in learning how to control your abilities… and will help clear your head if you ever need it.

How do we do this grounding thing?

The visualization is the main element that you will use. If you’re not very good at seeing things in your own mind, don’t worry, you’ll get used to it. If you are really not very visual right now, simply bring your focus of attention to the mentioned places or areas of your body, or feel a sensation in the area. It really is the intent that will make this work rather than anything else, so don’t worry too much about getting it exactly right.

A very simple grounding exercise

• Stand with your feet hip-width apart, allowing your arms to hang loosely at your sides.
• Slightly bend your knees and let your weight sink into your feet.
• Rock gently back and forth on your feet a few times to find your balance.
• Bring your full attention to your feet, and in particular to the bottom of the ball of your foot (about 1/3^rd put your foot down between the big and the 2^n/a Toe).
• Imagine all your weight sinking to this point.
• Visualize the roots extending from this point deep into the soil.
• Stand like this for a few moments, allowing your body to relax and take a deep breath.

If after this you still feel a little spacey other things that will help ground you your energies are:

• Seal your feet, especially if you can do it barefoot and outdoors on real dirt.
• Eat a small piece of chocolate, bread, cake or cookies (remember how Harry Potter recovered from the Dementors attack? Chocolate is our friend!)
• Hold a piece of one of the grounding crystals such as hematite, black obsidian, black tourmaline, or jet.
