There are many challenges and hardships to face. Overcoming them with allow you to learn and gain from them. I have a book entitled "The Pleaidian Workbook" by Amorah Quan Yin. Within it are many techniques for achieving different effects in this process. They have helped me a great deal thus far, and the book encourages people to spread the knowledge and techniques to as many people as can benefit from them. So I create this post.. I will regularly post exercises and visualizations you may use for clearing emotional bodies, karma, healing, relationships, and on and on and on. Please keep the replies respectful and non sarcastic. Thank you.
If anyone enjoys these exercises or they help you at all, I encourage you to aqcuire this book.. it is simply amazing. They are presented with the assumption that the reader is familiar with basic spiritual terminology (chakras, auras, etc.) If you are unfamiliar with any of these terms there are many resources that you may use to get a basic knowledge of them (search engine, this forum, books)
Without further ado, I present to you Grounding. May your path be filled with divine light and your learning process be full of joy and wonder.
Grounding
This spiritual goal (enlightenment) requires you to be in your body, and thus there is a need for grounding. The technique used for grounding is as follows:
1. Sit in a comfortable chair with your back relatively straight, your feet on the floor, your hands and feet uncrossed, and your eyes closed.
2. Use your breath to bring as much of your conscious presence to the center of your head as possible. Let go of any stray thoughts inhibiting this process until you feel centered.
3. Now take a couple of deep breaths. Notice how much of your body expands with each breath. What parts do not expand?
4. Consciously expand more of your body with your breath until you are inhaling as far down the spine as possible without strain or discomfort. Do this two or four times until you feel more alive and present in your body.
5. Feel your feet on the floor. Use your breath to bring more aliveness into your feet.
6. MEN - Bring your awareness to your first chakra, at the base of your tailbone. Visualize a tube or spiraling cord of light about four to six inches in diameter attaching itself to your first chakra.
WOMAN - Bring your awareness to your second chakra, about halfway between your naval and the base of your spine. Visualize a tube or spiralling cord of light about 4 to 6 inches in diameter attaching itselff to your second chakra.
7. Take about half a minute to a minute to breathe gently and feel the changes happening in your body and consciousness. Occasionally, some people have experienced parts of the body aching or throbbing as they ground for the first time. Some have even experienced buried emotions coming to the surface. If this happens, just be aware that these pains, whether physical or emotional, are probably at least in part why you were not grounded in the first place, since the natural tendency of humans is to avoid unpleasantness of any kind. However, since awareness of a problem is the first step to healing it, allow yourself to explore the feelings within your breath and curiosity instead of contracting or pulling away from them. Let go of judgements or fear of feeling and attempt to assume an attitude of gladness at being made aware of the need for attention in this area of your body or emotions.
Keep breathing into your area of discomfort. Usually this will bring ease fairly quickly. If it does not, it could be an indication of a more chronic problem with which you may need assistance in healing unless you are well versed in dealing with such things yourself. More techniques for working with clearing yourself will be given later.
If you experience no discomfort, you may notice a sense of becoming more present and real. You may feel relaxation and a slight heaviness in your body as you hold the grounding cord in focus for a while.
8. After becoming accustomed to the grounding cord, visualize the color of the grounding cord changing. See a full spectrum of colors and use varying shades and textures of each color. Make it fun. Stay with each color long enough to feel its effects on you. Explore as many colors you can think of in addition to the ones named below:
Start with blues. Change your grounding cord color to pale baby blue, then royal blue, navy blue, teal blue, and cobalt blue.
Add a little green to the blue, and visualize the cord as deep turquoise, then pale aquamarine.
Experiment with greens: soft baby green, emerald green, forest green, olive green, grass green, and peridot or light yellow green.
Next visualize yellows: pale soft yellow, bright sunny yellow, golden yellow, and mustard yellow.
Then see shades of orange: pale yellow orange, peach, bright orange like the fruit, salmon, rust orange, then red orange.
Visualize reds: pale pink, carnation pink, hot pink, bright red, blood red, maroon, and red violet.
Now see the purples: lavender, royal purple, grape purple, and blue violet.
Then try whites: pure white, white with sparkles of sunlight, mother of pearl or pearlescent white, and cream.
Next see brown tones: tan, caramel, chocolate, caramel brown, tree trunk grayish brown.
Do metallic colors last: metallic silver, metallic gold, copper, platinum, and silver and gold mixed.
You will find that some colors are soothing and calming while others help you feel stronger and more confident. Some colors help you feel more in your body, while others are extremely unpleasant and ungrounding. Find the ones you like and either write them down, along with how they make you feel , or, if you have a good memory.. make a mental note of them.
9. When you have completed scanning the colors, determine the one you want for now. Remove your original grounding cord by pulling it down and releasing it into Earth. Now give yourself a new grounding cord of the chosen color and send it to the center of the Earth.
10. Open your eyes.
In the future, if you wake up feeling tired and grumpy, you can use the grounding cord color that helps you feel lighter and more energetic. Or, if you are experiencing a lack of certainty and confidence, use the grounding color that gives you more of those positive qualities.
Grounding will not solve all your problems or take away every unpleasant emotional state, but it can help you get through them more quickly and easily. Knowing the best color for a given situation can help keep you grounded and able to cope at times you might normally tend to check out.
For about a week, begin each morning by removing the old grounding cord and giving yourself a new one. The color may be the same as the previous one or different, based on your current need. As often throughout the day as you can think about it, repeat this process. Even if it is fifty times a day at first, and even if it is while walking down the street or doing your work, give yourself a new grounding cord. The more thought-energy you put into creating anything, the more real and long lasting it becomes. You will become so proficient at grounding yourself that you can quickly do it with your eyes open while at work, or while walking or moving in a car. You need not take a lot of time to do it, even if you do it fifty times a day in the beginning.
After about a week, you will be able to ground yourself in the morning and have it last longer. Once a day may be all you need. You will become familiar enough with the difference in being grounded and ungrounded by then that you will know when you need to replace your old grounding cord with a new one.
Some people have skipped over the one week exercise, though I would not advise it. Those who do this one week exercise consistently feel more grounded, present, and available for life and healing than those who are less persistant. Those who bypass this step may find that their healing process takes longer, that their emotional distrubances are lengthier in duration, and that their full sensory perception is not as accessible or useful. So I highly enourage you to follow through until grounding becomes second nature.
This is just the beginning, the most basic exercise. However it is one of the most important. Most of the exercises following this one will begin with you grounding yourself. So become comfortable and familiar with grounding.
