Grounding


Earth’s healing energies are a vital part of our over-all health.

Just Some of the Benefits of Grounding:
 Helps to polarize and balance your bodies’ energy
 Promotes feeling centered
 Encourages feeling confident
 Re-vitalizes chi/core energy
 If you feel like your head is in the clouds, grounding will help you focus

Grounding Suggestions:

1. Earthing
My favorite way to stay grounded is to walk barefoot on our beautiful earth, preferably on lush grass but anyplace you love is perfect. Walk, run, dance or stand still – whatever feels good is good for you. I would just suggest taking a moment to stand still with hands on your thighs and take a few slow deep breadths in your nose and out your mouth. With each breadth let the roots in your feet gently go down deep into the earth and allow earths energies to flow into your roots and up into your body – it can feel very strengthening to your soul but there is a gentleness also.
Make sure to wiggle your feet and toes around and even down into the ground if you can, it feels fun and inspires a childlike openness.

2. Earthling Hands
Just as we walk barefoot in in the grass to ground ourselves we can also place the palms of our hands firmly onto the earth and this feeds us earths healing powers. It empowers us with its strength and love and it feels deeply comforting.

Stand barefoot, taking deep slow breathes for a moment or two and center your intention within and from within kneel down and place the palms of your hands firmly on mother earth. Let your hands move around and find the perfect a spot that feels right and let them be open and spread wide physically and non-physically. Let the energy of your hands become receptors for earths beautiful healing force, to it’s life-force, and let it fill you. Do this as long as it feels right to you.

At the end of this you can change your intention and send thanks / gratitude back to earth. When I have done this in the past I feel the earth gratitude for my gratitude and it makes me smile and laugh every time. It’s all subtle energy but beautifully powerful energy!

3. Getting And Giving A Hug From Mother Earth
Stand on the earth as mentioned above, in #1, but this time hold the palms of your hands facing downward and set the intention that nature’s energies are lovingly reaching up and into your hands, take some deep breathes, open your energies and you will feel it!

*** I have also stood in this position with one slight variation – my hands / palms were facing outward as if I was getting ready to hug someone – in this case the earth and I have felt waves of energy that seemingly come from all directions to meet me gently and it feels like the earths energies are hugging me and I hug back. It is one of the most joyful experiences of oneness you can have as the earth and your energies meet through your hands, feet and through every cell in your body – this one is beyond grounding, it’s profoundly spiritual. You can really feel the earth’s incredible power. The earth is hugging your soul!

*** Another suggestion is trying to lay flat on the earth with the side of your face on the earth, palms on the earth, with the intention you are telling the earth how much you love her and how sorry you are we are hurting her. I have found this to be very powerful. Just allow yourself time to energetically join the earths energies in love and gratitude.

4. Sitting or Standing Up Against A Tree
This will ground you for sure, and it will absorb any energy you need / want to release.
Try closing your eyes and feel yourself connect with the tree and its deep roots. Your roots reach out to connect deep into the earth and to wrap around a large stone or to the trees roots itself – whatever feels right to you. In this position, up against the tree, you can send not only the roots from your feet but also from a cord that stems out of the base of your spine – let it reach down into the earth and / or the tree itself to release and receive.
Now set your intent about what you want to release and / or receive – this could be getting rid of negativity in general, excess energy or something specific. There are no rules. Then take a few deep slow breathes and affirm you are letting go and feel energy pour out your feet and / or cord – it can be a subtle feeling at first but with mindfulness and by listening to your internal landscape you will begin to feel the flow of your energies. Empowering. Then ask the tree to send you the energies you need, like grounding, confidence, security and whatever you need through its deep roots and it happily will. Trees are very friendly and smart, check out this incredible video by Professor Suzanne Simard! And this is a great article as well!

5. Figure-8ing With Tress
I discovered this – if anyone really discovers anything – at the Omega Institute the last day I was assisting Donna Eden on one of her amazing 5-day trainings. I felt some release surfacing and went outside and sat up against a tree, as I do, and suddenly I lost it – sobbing. The waves of emotion began to match the waves I felt between another tree directly in from of me about 100 feet away? It was across a clearing and there were other trees but I knew this one was the one sending me energy too. I closed my eyes and clearly saw and felt a radiant figure-8 going between the trees and I was inside one of the 8’s. It was transcending and the happy tears of release streamed away and I felt my energy deepen into the earth and intertwine with these two trees. It was profound. I felt amazing after!

6. Spooning The Feet, And Hands
Our physical body has polarities – our head is the north polarity and our feet the south. Sometimes due to life or shifting earth energies they get reversed and using a stainless steal spoon to correct your polarities is wonderful! This is very important for grounding because our feet are where you take in the earth’s yin and healing energy.

With a stainless steel spoon, use the round side; rub all over the bottoms of your feet. Rub every-where, even the sides. Try doing figure-8’s with the spoon too. You can actually use the front side of the spoon, or even a fork but not too hard, if the other way isn’t working or you may want to just try a new variation. It’s an option but just be careful of how hard you press – it should feel firm but gentle.

Spooning the feet will correct the polarity on your head but to make sure your head is correctly polarized you can use your hand – flip your hand back and forth so that the palm is down and flip it over so the back of your hand is flat on the head – you can do this quickly and it corrects any imbalances…speaking of hands…

Our hands have polarities too so spooning them is very helpful. If your polarities are not correct you will not be able to connect with someone when you shake their hand – let alone if you are using your hands for healing work. An interesting note about shaking hands – if you want to really connect with someone use both your hands when shaking them. One hand is shaking and the other is gently placed on the back of the other persons hand and this creates a complete energetic connection. Bill Clinton always did this and is perhaps why so many people reported feeling an instant connection with him. Basically carry a spoon with you at all times, joking, but do remember your hands have electromagnetic energy so if there is no spoon in sight just use them to correct all your polarities by flipping them facing up and down.

Our non physical body has polarities too – about a foot over our head, over our heart and between our legs, this is best to energy test for but I see no harm in gently using your hands over these areas just in case.

These are a great Eden energy Medicine Technique.

7. Grounding With A Hematite Crystal
Hematite is a very grounding stone and when all else fails I always put a tumble hematite stone on the side of each pinky toe and I just sit there for a few minutes – you usually can feel it when you’ve grounded – trust your intuition! But, it’s a great quick fix.

Try this Grounding Visualization.

Healers note:
Healing energy travels faster through earth than air so if you are doing long distance healing for someone try and lay on the ground palms facing down and send out the healing! When I do Skype sessions I have a small square of green grass (you can buy them at a plant store / nursery / farmers market) and I place my feet on it to increase the energy transmission – and it is helpful in releasing energy for you and your client.

And, being barefoot in the grass, as mentioned above, is very grounding.

Chakra Radiance


If you are unsure where your chakras are….
For basic chakra clearing and balancing
I’ll be making a video of all these techniques but until then if you need visual help just contact me and I will be happy to send you a picture or even a quick Skype call to demonstrate…

Chakra Heart Connections
Sometimes our individual chakras may be super strong but they may not be connected to each other and we need them to be. They need to communicate and transmit supportive energy to each other, and to our Auric field, so making sure they are connected is fantastic chakra and healthy energy maintenance!

If you know how to self-test fantastic but in all honesty I always connect them all at the same time – it cares for the entire chakra system and our energy, and chakras, appreciates that.

A beautiful way to connect your chakras is with over-laying hearts. With the palms of your hands trace a heart over your 1st / base chakra and from the bottom of the heart pull the energy up to your 2nd / sacral chakra and trace the heart so that the bottom of it ends within the top of the heart you just made on your 1st / base. From this spot you pull upward to your 3rd / solar plexus chakra and let it end inside the top of the 2nd / sacral chakra. You continue this upward, it’s almost like weaving hearts and over-laying them up your body to just over the top of your head.

Figure-8’ing The Chakras
This is super simple yet super powerful. With the palm of your hand, starting at the 1st or base chakra (over the pelvic area) and you make figure-8 motions, slowly, upward towards the sacral or 2nd chakra and then continue this all the way up to and slightly above your head. Take your time, three slow breaths worth of time to connect each chakra to the one above it.

Once you have completed the above finish with a two-handed, crossing over, continuous figure-8 motion up the front of your body. Instead vertical figure-8’s you are now making horizontal figure-8’s with both hands and your hands crossover each other as you harmoniously weave upwards. You are not only connecting each chakra but also creating crossovers within many of your energy systems and it feels amazing!

Waving Into The Chakras
Inspired by Eden Energy Medicines Heaving Rushing In

It’s simple and powerful! I’ve been doing this for long time now and it makes me, and my clients, happy every time! The benefits are limitless bringing joy, radiance and healing into your bodies energy systems. You can also customize this for whatever energy you need at the time. Sometimes we need comfort, other times bravery, just know whatever you need is available through this self-care tool.

1. Quickie Version. Standing, sitting or lying down have your palms upward, arms slightly extended from your body, about 1-2 ft., as this is really one continuous movement where you open your hands upward briefly to bring radiant energy into the palms of your hand and then with a flowing wave motion you scoop that energy into your chakra(s). You start at your 1st / base chakra moving up to the 7th / crown. You may feel the radiance in the form of heat or even a tickle, it will be different for everyone, and some may even see it. I sometimes visualize golden balls of energy in my hands and I connect to all the joy and love in the universe and then scoop that into each chakra. Remember you can call upon any energy you need, such as happiness, confidence, relaxation etc. I usually do this process pretty quickly and because of that as I move up the chakras I am creating crossovers at the same time. It’s like Lacing the Nadis, except you move upwards and are scooping in universal radiance as you go.

2. Shamanic Version. In Tikal Guatemala we were doing a sacred ceremony at night in the middle of a ruin that was an energy portal to the Pleiades star constellation. The energy was out of this world, literally! I wanted this radiant magical energy to become apart of me. I was lying down on the grass and began to make true wave motions. I opened my arms stretching them outward as far as they could go, palms up and slightly higher than my body. Sometimes I turned my palms to touch the ground and then upward because I wanted to get the earth energies as well as the cosmic ones. So with palms up I let them fill with the high frequency energy I was bathing in and I slowly waived that energy into each chakra. It’s not one wave, it’s a few encouraging waves. It was a smooth and gentle gathering of the energies surrounding me and seeding within me. I did this several times to each chakra. Sometimes the waving was continuous and other times I took the time to let my hands sit on the chakra I was feeding, which really allowed that chakra to soak in and root to the radiant energy. This is a very instinctual technique, you want to follow the energy and do what feels right to you. Set the intention for what you want to bring in and affirm that it is very loving, nurturing and radiant.

You don’t need to be in some sacred place to connect to this kind of high frequency energy, you can do it in your backyard or even your floor – intention is everything! Mother earth is wise so you can ask that she connect you with certain energies and / or places anywhere in the world – everything is connected! I often call upon places where I have had profound meditations or experiences; it’s a great tool and a great reminder of our oneness with everything.

3. I have found doing all these radiant chakra techniques in different environments and times of the day can really shift what you bring in. At night you can bring in moon energy and all its femininity, its gentleness and radiance. Do it in the middle of the day and take in the power of the sun energy, which I have found to be energizing, uplifting and joyful.

You can of course always visualize any part of this process – our mind and intentions have great power!

Speaking of intention….

Ellen Meredith teaches us to tap into radiance and let it “drip” into your chakras, or any other place in your body that needs radiance, like an injury or someplace that just feels stuck, blocked or heavy. It’s quite simple, using your intuition and intention to find some radiance – point your left pointer finger up in the air and move it around until you feel radiance and let your finger plug into it. Then hold your right hand / pointer finger over the area you want to fill with radiance and these 2 hand / finger positions will allow radiant energy to flow into you.

Trust yourself and enjoy!

Tina’s Note:
This experience was so powerful and sacred I am having a hard time capturing it on paper, it may still be processing and it’s extremely esoteric, so I will continue to work on it but I wanted to share as much of it as I could in this moment. I have broken it up into sections so you can skip parts you may not be interested in. This photo by Rick Maitri is inside the ruin while the following story was happening – pure magic!

The Story Leading Up To The Story
In Tikal, Guatemala, we were encouraged to have alone time to explore and commune with whatever our energies needed. I was walking around on my own and not a person in sight – most tourists come in the morning so the park after lunch it is practically empty, which was amazing. Mysterious feeling too because I was thinking wow I am walking though an ancient Mayan city! It was thrilling and because I was very connected to the love energy of this land (not the brutality). I was taking it all in…and then a truck full of men with machine guns pass me by. This is not unusual for this area so I wasn’t worried but when they stopped way up the road (and I use the word road loosely) I thought do I just keep going to where I know, which means I would have to pass the men with guns, or do I go off road which I was warmed to be careful of because getting lost is a real possibility. Clear choice, the road less traveled.

The path became very narrow and I heard bustling in the dense jungle I was walking through. I stopped, it stopped. I walked, it began to walk again. I stopped. It stopped. Jaguars are nocturnal so I wasn’t worried about them but there were many other exotic and possibly territorial animals. So I said out loud, hello I’m friendly! Silence from us both for a few minutes and then I heard the bustling going away from me, I guess he was just checking me out but now I wanted to see him. I did try! It was thrilling pushing back huge leaves and branches as I tried to find him. Unfortunately I never got to see my jungle friend.

A Ruin Found
When the path became too dense to follow anymore I didn’t want to get lost, which I felt I already was. I turned around and the path lead me into a different direction than I had come strangely, I couldn’t find the main road but I was loving my adventure and just went where energy guided me. I came upon a ruin with a very dark tunnel on the side of it. I wanted to go in and immediately went towards it and then I felt strongly I wasn’t supposed to go so I began to walk away and then I felt called to go in. Into the pitch-blackness of the tunnel I went. It didn’t even occur to me I could use my phone as a flashlight, crazy. The tunnel was narrow so I was brushing my hands against the walls, which were moist with moss, and walking very carefully. I could feel a change on the wall, it began to curve slightly and I saw a glimmer of light. I followed the turn and saw the exist about 20 feet ahead of me – it was beautiful and exciting – I felt like a real explorer☺

I walk in and immediately my heart jumped with joy and I gasped with delight. I looked around, sat around, did some energy moves and began to look for stones – I asked the land to give me a stone but I couldn’t find one that stood out to me so I figured it had nothing for me. The energy began to feel very intense as if it was saying time to go so I went. Some of this sounds very whoo whoo but I promise these energies were so palpable that they could not be dismissed.

The Loving Experience
Later that night we were having a sacred ceremony in a very special place they told us, an energy portal to the Pleiades constellation. When we arrived I was stunned it was the place I had found earlier. The Pleiades had called me to this place for some reason, asked me to go and now welcomed me back with all it’s love and power. The shaman (Tata) went in first blissing the “birth cannel” (the tunnel I had gone through earlier) and we then had to bow and kiss the earth humbly asking if we could enter. As I walked through again and reentered the ruin it felt different – the power had increased but it wasn’t intense, it was powerfully gentle.

I positioned myself in the middle of the grounds, right under the Pleiades constellation and the moon was lighting up the ruin, stunningly magical and mysterious. You could feel its life. I was lying on the earth looking up and feeling everything – I could feel the entirety of patchamama. I laid there on my journey staring up at the sky, at the stars and moon and I would turn my body slowly to stay aligned in the center of the portal and one of the times I moved my hand which was laying face up but somehow the earth seemed to be reaching up to give me a stone. It felt like an earth hand literally put it into my hands – what a gift, what an experience. All of the sudden this stone was in my hand and I knew it was a sacred gift from the portal. I put it on my heart center under my cloths and felt it helped deepen my connection with everything. It’s a powerful stone and I am thankful for it. I keep it with my special wakka stones / crystals next to my bed and I travel with them too. But this Pleiades portal stone still retains it’s full power – when I touch it I can feel the energy of the place running through me, feeding me, empowering me with love and earth and cosmic energies.

The earth was hugging me, I seriously felt it around me and the heavens were bathing me and I felt it showering through and in me that in itself is incredible. But, it was even more glorious when I felt true deep sold self-love light up inside me. Never have I felt love that deeply and it’s still with me – I transformed. I sat up and began to hug myself and what a feeling! I have never hugged myself that way before in the physical sense but also energetically. The land and the energy portal was wrapping me with so much love and radiance I felt connected to all the love in the world but mostly it was the love inside of me that opened wide.

I began to do the Waving Into The Chakras. This is inspired from Donna Eden’s Heaven Rushing In. I opened my arms wide, palms up and let them fill up with this magical power energy and I scooped it into each chakra – it was indescribably beautiful. And I can feel the difference in the foundation of my chakras and all my energy systems really. This energy integrated into every level of who I am physically and non-physically. It felt liberating, sacred and opening in everyway.

You Can Create This At Home
The energy of any land has it’s own unique energetic vibration and if you are a traveler you will know what I mean when I say some places just encourage your energy to transform into something deeply wonderful and lasting. That said where you live could be your radiant power source. It might be that already and if so you just have to tap into it and if not you might need to do some energy work to create it by using sage, crystals and set clear intentions all over your home and land.

You can also call for energy from a place you had an amazing spiritual experience – energy from the entire planet is ready to connect with you and be in service to you, just ask and you shall receive.

I have found it is rare to find any land that does not respond to love and gratitude. Everything is connected! Try it out – lie flat on any land near you and send it love, gratitude and tell it you are so grateful for its beauty and strength and see what happens! I have asked friends to do this in the past and they were amazed they could feel love being given to them.

The energy was out of this world, literally! I wanted this radiant magical energy to become apart of me. I was laying down on the grass and began to do Waving Into The Chakras but the energy and my instincts were guiding me differently. Guiding me to make true wave motions. I opened my arms stretching them outward as far as they could go, palms up but my arms pretty much stayed parallel to my body, maybe slightly higher at times. This felt right because I wanted to get the earth energies as well as the cosmic ones. My palms were up and I let it fill with the high frequency energy I was bathing in and I slowly waived it into each chakra. It was a smooth and gentle gathering of the energies surrounding me and seeding within me. I did this several times, taking the time to lay my hands on the chakra I was feeding, and sometimes I didn’t do that, I was following the energy. Sometimes once the energy was waived into one chakra, in a continuous motion I let my hands / arms crossover to open my arms once more and repeat the process. I might say it felt profound but that seems cliché because the energy was like nothing I have ever felt. It was very loving, nurturing and radiant.

Please know you don’t need to be in some sacred place like this to connect to this kind of high frequency energy, you can do it in your backyard – intention is everything! Mother earth is wise so you can ask that she connect you with certain energies and / or places anywhere in the world – everything is connected!
