Today I’m going to share a wonderful grounding exercise to help center yourself in your body.
You are a soul living inside a body, and it’s that soul energy that needs to come through. Here is one way.
Start by sitting comfortably. Relax and try to let go of all fear, anxiety, and worry. Put it on the shelf or bookmark it for later. Move the stress aside and try to connect to your inner sense of peace.
You will know you’ve found it because it will feel like home.
Calm, peaceful, happy, loving, uplifted. Find that energy in the center of your being, then begin to push it out.
Spread it up your chest and neck. Breathe evenly as you feel the energy move. Direct it to every spot, mindfully. Your shoulders, neck, ears, and finally through the top of your head.
I can’t help but smile while I do this.
Then move the energy down. Arms, elbows, hands, and fingertips. Feel it fill you up with warmth and joy.
Now keep going, down through your stomach, waist, hips, and pelvis. Move the energy through you, pausing to work through any challenging bits.
Take your time. If you get distracted you can simply bring your attention back and keep going. Breathe evenly and feel every part of your body as you move the energy through.
Now spread it through your legs, thighs, kneecaps, calves, ankles, feet, and tips of your toes.
Go through your whole body until you have been filled up to the brim with bright soul energy.
Now rest.
If you would like you can push it out, make your aura big and commanding, leaving no room for interference from others. You can share your light, or use it to protect yourself. You are grounded in your body and connected to your soul energy. When you are grounded in yourself you cannot be phased by the energy of others.
You’re connected to your soul, and are in control of your energy.
Now rest, or get busy. Put your body to sleep or to work. Use your energy to create, interact with others, tackle your problems, or simply enjoy this moment with a heightened sense of awareness.
Repeat this exercise as often as needed.
This was first taught to me by the wonderful teacher Sarah Monaghain and while I may have modified it slightly in my retelling, the credit for this wonderful exercise is hers. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
