Grounding the New Energy

As part of my Open Heart Journey with Sue, I have become more aware of how I ground my energy down through my body and into the earth. Many of us are becoming quite proficient at bringing in large amounts of energy through the breath and through releasing emotional blocks and overlays. But often this energy is stored in the body and not taken all the way down and grounded effectively which can leave the receiver feeling very energized and ‘woozy’. This can be fun and certainly lets you know that ‘things are happening’, but can also leave you feeling a bit ‘frazzled’, especially after a few sleepless nights!

We are like an electric circuit; the universal energy flows in through the top of the head and wants to flow down the back of your spine and through your legs and out through the hands and feet. Emotions create blocks that interrupt this flow but our posture also affects the flow of energy through the body and so by adjusting the way we stand we can greatly improve the flow of energy through the body and assists with grounding it into the earth. Even wearing high heel tends to throw out this alignment, meaning you are not grounding yourself as effectively.

To notice this effect try the following exercise: First notice how you normally stand, notice your head, shoulders, chest. Notice the way your breath moves in and out, notice your lower spine, legs and how the connection between your feet and the floor feels.

Now stretch yourself up by the crown, as if there was a string attached to it. Notice as the back of your neck stretches, your chin drops slightly and your shoulders naturally move down and back. As the shoulders move back the chest opens up allowing a greater freedom of the breath moving in and out. Allow the back to arch and the pelvis to tilt forward, letting the belly soften and relax and letting  your bum stick out! Now take a moment to notice your legs and the connection between your feet and the ground, notice the energy flowing through you, from the top of your head down the back of the spine, into the legs and down to the feet. Are your feet tingling?!

To further assist with grounding my energy Quan Yin suggested going for more walks, so lately whenever I go for a walk I focus and breathe with my lower abdomen and I have been noticing an amazing energy flow through my legs as a result. ‘Conscious walking’ has been almost as much of a revelation to me as conscious breathing has been! I’m finding that with every step I feel the muscles, and bones move and as I am conscious of, and breathe into my lower abdomen I can feel myself grounding my energy and connecting with Gaya with every step.

  

Allow yourself to physically express the divine god/ goddess that you are by standing tall and proud at all times; this will do much in allowing this energy to manifest in you and to ground it in this reality!
