Grounding and Centering

Grounding: increase physical stability, become more aware of your environment, drain excess energy; you do not need to be in direct contact with the ground!

Methods:

·        Center your energy. Visualize a seed of light within your energy center. Feel the seed sprout a tendril(s) of energy moving down your body through your chakras/legs. Envision roots coming out of you wherever you are connected to the ground, see them pushing into the earth, stabilizing you. Feel the excess energy draining out into the earth (to be used for healing purposes).

·        Tai Chi Energy Wash: raise your hands above your head and push your hands down, feeling your energy drain into the earth as your hands are lowered.

Centering: focus on the spiritual energy center in your body; collects stray personal energy and draws them back to your energy center of personal power.

Where is my Center? Chakra points (solar plexus, heart, third eye)

Methods:

·        See your energy in your body spiraling around you and coming to focus in your abdomen (your center).

·        See your energy surrounding you and gently pull it into your center with focus and clarity.
