Grounding amd Shielding

Many people ask me about grounding and personal shielding for defense purposes. I have explained this so many times in person, I thought i should address it here.

First grounding. A lot of people have different ideas of grounding, how they do it, why they do it.

To me, grounding is simply connecting, centering one's self, to block out distractions. To pull inward, focusing. This clears the mental clutter, helps to aid you in your workings.

There are many types of groundings, like meditations, each person will need to chose what they are comfortable with using.

These are visualizations to use for grounding i offer them only as examples , feel free to write your own. It's the connection that matters, not how you do it.

I recommend if you are able, please use music, not head banging music, but slow soft music, it will add your shift to your higher self.

For me i ground like this:

Find a nice quiet, spot if possible, remeber some times perfect situations aren't possible, we must adapt and over come our siutation, But do seek out the quietest area you can find. I prefer to be shoeless, but again, deal if you have to, the point is the intent, Nothin should be avoided because every thing isn't perfect! Nothing ever truly is.

Close your eyes, relaxing your mind, breathing slowly, in thru your nose , out thru your mouth. Do this for a few minutes, it helps to clear your mind creating a shift in your awareness.This is shifting to your higher self,(magickal self).When i center and ground,I see myself in top of a stone standing ( we have a local one). Standing in the sunshine in a circle of oak trees. I can feel the breeze tickling my face, can feel the sunshine's warm kiss,can smell the soft spring air. I am standing loosely, barefooted and robed. Creative visualization is critical to most magickal workings. You must , know it, feel it , see it to achieve it. As I stand there, feeling my surroundings, knowing peace in a safe place.I can feel the pure white energy of the One the All, wash over me, covering me, flowing and moving. I can feel energy begin to move, flow downward out thru my feet, i can feel it flowing down into the soft warm moist earth i am standing on. i feel my mind and body relaxing , letting go of tension, worry and stress feeling it move downward, letting it drain from you any negative feelings, any pain, any anger. Allow this to flow. It is natural, to connect this way to the universe, to stand bathed in energy, a gift from the All, the One. Drink it in be bathed in a peaceful white pulsing glowing energing light.

NOW, to change this to a shielding.

Envision now the energy is not flowing thru your feet.Stop the flow, Envision instead, you are creating a bubble around you, all encompassing you. A warm pulsing energy field ( see a bubble is the easiest way to describe it). You need to intensify this field make it thicker, denser. So see the white compact in, strengthening, moving closer to your body. At this time i usually envision a blue pentacle on the third eye area. This is soley for defense purposes. It is a shielding in itsself. So i am seeing

Myselfsurounded by pure intense white light, it pulsing moving, i feel it's warmth, it's protection. I know that in this bubble i have created , i am safe from many things. Ican feel it, see it, i know it to be true. Hold this image, you need to be able to recall it on command to reinforce the shielding.

Daily, you should bring this image to mind, remind your higher self it is working for you. You are the master, your mind is your greatest tool. Through creative visualization these things are possible, They bring us security and peace of mind. To function with peace of mind is critical. To walk in our higher selfs, moves up higher up the ladder to enlightenment. We can't do that if we are stressing constantly, or worrying, being suceptible to others thoughts and feelings. We must guard ourselves. Pull inward and use our minds to control the flow around us a bit.

Try this it truly can make a difference in your daily life of dealing on this plane.

 

Blessings of the One,
