The importance of grounding and protecting our energy

Article JANIS GIBSON

Are you feeling, fuzzy, lacking clarity and purpose? Then perhaps you are simply just ungrounded.

LOOK FOR SOME OR ALL OF THESE SIGNS TO SEE IF THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING FOR YOU

- Out of balance (literally)

- Not present

- Being spacey and light-headed

- Heart palpitations

- Static sensitivity

- Falling asleep when meditating

- Noise and light sensitive

- Forgetful

- Light bulb moments which are never implemented

- Argumentative / picky

- Unable to concentrate

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE ARE AWARE OF BEING UNGROUNDED AND TAKE STEPS TO REMEDY THE SITUATION

- Brings life back into balance by connecting our energy to the ground to reconnect our physical body with our spiritual body

- Restores balance to our physical and our emotional state

- Brings clarity to fuzzy thinking and difficult decision making

- Strengthens our physical body

- Releases excess energy generated in the body (through meditation particularly)

- Allows a greater sense of self

TO EASILY GROUND ONE’S ENERGY

- I find using 7.83Hz or Earth’s resonance is a powerful way of grounding. This may also be known as Schuman’s Resonance – the frequency at which the Earth resonates. Playing it on any device can be extremely relaxing as it works on calming the mind and body.

- Stand barefooted on bare Earth or grass

- Hug a tree

- Lie on the ground

- Completely immerse in water

- Crystals – these are just a few recommended for grounding – Carnelian, Garnet, Amber, Jasper, Petrified Wood, Black Obsidian, Hematite, Tiger’s Eye

- Man-made devices, i.e. grounding mats, blankets, socks and patches (only recommended indoors)

- Connect to nature in any way that is appropriate for you, perhaps a walk in a park or forest, walking on the beach, hiking in mountains, where the air is pure.

PROTECTION

As spiritual beings, it is incredibly important to keep our energy protected at all times. This can be done in many ways but some of the most common are: Placing our body in a cocoon of white light; using the Blue Cloak of the Archangel Michael wrapped around us; many healers also use Golden Light wrapped around the body as a shield, imagining a cylinder of metal around us.

Crystals can also be used for protection. I am a fan of Black Obsidian in my healing room and when I am away doing any spiritual work and many of the black crystals such as Obsidian, Black Kyanite, Tourmaline, Jet, Onyx, Black Jade, Black Amethyst, Black Opal, Tahitian Pearls, Black Spinel, Black Sapphire, Black Diamond, Black Garnet, Shungite and Blizzard Stone can be used to provide a coating of protection around the wearer. Black crystals also have the power to absorb negative energies.

We know that both crystals and humans vibrate to particular frequencies, so why not combine both to elevate our vibe and enjoy the benefits that working with clear and grounded energy can bring.
