GROUNDING EXERCISE

Grounding is an important part of our self-care. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. From time-to-time, our vibrations shift and our spirit bodies take over, thus loosening our rootedness to the earth realm. This dynamic manifests as light headedness, excessive daydreaming, forgetfulness, and clumsiness (among other things). People who engage in spiritual work (healing, readings, channeling, clearing, etc.) can be particularly susceptible to this condition. One activity to quickly ground your energy is a brisk walk outside while holding a lighted stick of incense. Amber, frankincense, Nag Champa, or anything that feels right.

PREPARE FOR SPIRITUAL WORK

Take ample time before your ritual to select a special soap, bath salt, or herbal bath for your pre-ritual cleansing. You don't have to bathe right before your ritual. Some people bathe the night before. Work with your own schedule. If you like, dress your bath with candles, essential oils, flower petals, etc. Adding crystals to a bath can call in powerful energy (caution: some crystals are damaged by water or salt like selenite, malachite, kyanite, lapis lazuli).

• Clear the space by sweeping, mopping, and/or vacuuming the room. Walk clockwise around the room with a smudge bundle, making sure to get smoke in every corner and closet. If you prefer, use a rattle, bell, drum or other noisemaker to loosen and remove stagnant energy. After you remove unwanted energy, make sure you do a meditation or visualization to fill the space with positive energy.

• Wear specific colors to support your ritual.

  • White - cleansing, understanding, spiritual growth, establishing order, clarity

  • Black - transformation, banishing and releasing negative energy

  • Red - love spells, health rituals

  • Orange - encouragement, power

  • Yellow - communication, divination

  • Green - money, prosperity, god luck, fertility, employment

  • Blue - healing, psychic work

  • Violet - divination, balance

  • Silver - psychic development, meditation, warding off negativity

  • Gold - health, success, divination, good fortune
