Grounding
This first section of this page is to tell you why it is necessary to ground. I have not come across anyone who uses psychic gifts that doesnt swear by this. No matter your path, if you are using psychic gifts, you will need to ground.
Grounding roots you to earth and allows you to work without getting that lightheaded feeling. If you do use your gifts then you know what I am speaking of. If you are just starting to explore then this is the basic tool you need to learn before getting really deep into exploration. If you do not it can affect your health. Tiredness, lightheadedness, and nausea being some of the main symptoms.
Exercise in Grounding
This exercise is called "Connect the dots". It is a combination of visualization and breathing.
1. Take a deep but easy relaxing breath in. See a bright dot in the center of your forehead. Let the breath out slowly.
RELAX
2. Take a breath in as before. See a bright dot in the center of your throat. Let the breath out slowly drawing an energy line from forehead to throat.
RELAX
3. Take a breath in as before. See a bright dot in the center of your chest at your heart chakra. Let the breath out slowly drawing an energy line from throat to chest.
RELAX
4. Take a breath in as before. See a bright dot in the center of your tummy. Let the breath out slowly drawing an energy line from chest to tummy.
RELAX
5. Take a breath in as before. See a bright dot in the center of your spine at the base. Let the breath out slowly drawing an energy line from tummy to the base of your spine.
RELAX
6. Take a breath in as before. See a bright dot in the center of your knees. Let the breath out slowly drawing an energy line from ur spine to your knees.
RELAX
7. Take a breath in as before. See a bright dot in the center of the Earth. Let the breath out slowly drawing an energy line from ur knees to that dot in the Earth.
Relax.......... Feel the circulation of energy from your body to the earth and back again. Feel it warm and energize you. When you are refreshed slowly return to yourself.
Shielding
There are many reasons to shield. When practicing the craft or even just exercising your psychic gifts you will come across those who will drain your energy or unintentionally send out harmful energies.
Emotions are a powerful energy. Anger and Fear are two of the most powerful emotions. That wave of negative energy projected out from a person can effect or drain you.
Sickness.. When someone is sick, they can unknowingly drain someone close to them. They don't intend on doing so. It just happens.
Magick attack. Well, this is very rarely done. But it is also a possibility. When we shield ourselves properly, it protects us from others harming via magick.
Exercise in Shielding
When someone surrounds themselves in white light without grounding they run the mistake of doing what I call "Flaring the Aura" This is not a good thing. Not only does it use your own energies to "power" the shield around you but makes for a bright target on the astral planes for any nasties that are drawn to bright beings. If anything hits your shield you will be drained anyway in the reflection of the attack because you used your own energies to power it. In other words.... not good at all!
1. Do the grounding exercise above.
2. After you have completed the grounding exercise do not let go of the earth.
3. See yourself in a dark room.
4. Hold your hands out and visualize a bright ball of energy drawn up from the earth. Do not discard it if you don't get white. Each person's energy that they draw from the earth is different and resonates with them. Allow it to grow in your hands till it is too heavy to hold. Let it drop and grow till it is big enough to walk into.
5. Walk into the energy. Feel it surround you.
6. See it seal around you and become an unbreakable sphere around you.
7. Come back to yourself refreshed.
