Most people in the
metaphysical community use the term ‘grounding’. ‘She’s so un-grounded’; ‘You
just need to ground yourself’ etc. The act of grounding is done to connect
ourselves to the Earth. It is a re-connection to the planet and our physical
bodies.
Most that use the
term don’t really have a concept of what it is, or how it is done. It has
almost become a cliché.
When we ‘ground’
ourselves we release excess energy we have picked up through various means. Directing
our energy through the Gaia Point allows us to ultimately release our
‘energetic baggage’, our stress and negativity, into the Earth to be recycled
and utilized in a beneficial way. And thus we play our part as an instrument of
the Earth’s energy system.
Energy is neutral. We label it as positive or
negative, but at its core energy is neutral. Energy is meant to be returned to
Source to be recycled, reused, and reassigned. Dust to dust and so on.
We release this
energy through our Gaia Point. I have perceived this point as a variety of
colors from reddish-brown to golden green. I recognize this point as always in
the Earth itself, always below us. I have heard it described as 18 inches below
the feet, I find this to be true when one is standing on the ground. However,
when one is horizontal the point is directly below their center in the Earth.
This point stays anchored in the Earth regardless of distance [I have no idea
how this works with space travel since I have not had any astronauts as clients
since I began working with this point].
There are a variety
of ways to ground ourselves and reconnect with this Earth energy. Some of my
favorites are the most simple, but not always the easiest to accomplish
depending on where you live. Things such as: Walking barefoot on the ground –
in dirt, on grass or sand – while being aware of the Earth beneath your feet is
the quickest way to reconnect; a walk in the woods, touching the trees and
being aware that you are exchanging breath with these wonderful living things;
swimming in the ocean or other natural body of water and being aware of the
flow of energy that exists there. Notice the key word here is AWARE. Being
aware of the life force that flows through nature helps us to connect to it.
Awareness comes through appreciation.
I use the terms Gaia and Earth
interchangeably. I apologize if this offends anyone, however I perceive Gaia as
the personification of the Earth as a living being. Earth seems so impersonal
whereas I feel that the term Gaia holds a natural respect and affection
deserving of this life supporting entity.
But what if you are
not in a position to connect directly with nature? Not to worry, there are
plenty of options. You can use any number of representations of the Earth to
focus on from pictures of a tree to a sound machine that mimics the ocean to a
houseplant and more. Be imaginative. Even a drop of pure maple syrup on your
tongue can connect you to Gaia.
If
you think about it, just about everything around you has some essence of the
Earth. Short of things like plastic and polyester most things are gifts from
our Earth mother. So finding something to touch, view, hear, taste, smell or
even visualize is not an issue. If I am stuck in the house I like to watch a
video of the ocean and hold a bit of sea salt. But that’s me I’m an island girl
at heart. Maybe you want to hold your houseplant or smell the leftover branches
of your Christmas Tree [Disclaimer: I do not advocate the slaughter of innocent
trees for decoration] The point is that we all can find what works best for us
and we can use a variety of these techniques.
