<h3>
<br>
<p>Here is an exercise I use many times a day to stay grounded, well
enough connected to source to be quite immune to most negative energy.
It's a pretty simple visualization, when I use it with other people I enhance
their energy flow with the power of my own Magic, and the result is Kundalini
awakening. I have discovered K. is readily transmittable over the net..
this course is Shakti-charged.</i></b><p><i>I also use the same grounding technique when I set out to do healing, or any kind of magic. So will you.</i><p><i>You can do it sitting at your computer, hands apart, spine straight,
feet flat on the floor.</i><p>I've seen some people in my life totally transform their lives, from
the springboard of this one little visualization, repeated faithfully.
Following guidance.
<br> It is ancient and powerful.
<p>I have come across <a href="gr_anim.html#links">many</a> different types of grounding meditations and visualizations, in my spiritual studies. The simplest is a child imagining it is as tree, with leaves absorbing sunlight and roots digging deep into the Earth. The best parts of all of them are embodied in this simplicity. <br> Use the <a href="gr_anim.html">visualization</a> anytime. A suggestion for making the grounded
state permanent is to carry a stopwatch that is set to go off 8x a day
for 45 days, doing the visualization each time it goes off. (thank you,
Morgana)<p><div align="center"><img src="titles/dragons.gif" width=540 height=16></div>
<h3>
<i>Grounded is our natural state of being. As we grow up and our parents
try to civilize us, we internalize the idea that we are not perfect not
deserving of unconditional love, and we choke off the source of life energy
that is meant to support us.<br>
We get bad energy habits from our parents that need to be changed with
persistence and attention for our spiritual wellbeing.</i></h3>
<div align="center">><img src="titles/dragons.gif" width=540 height=16></div><p>Sit comfortably, cross legged or in a chair in a balanced position,
hands apart, feet flat on the floor. Take a few deep breaths, relax your
body, focus your attention.

<i> Visualize a sunbeam coming straight down from waaaay up above, shining
directly on the top of your head. <br>
Feel it warming the top of your head,</i></h3>
<i>then the top of the head becomes a flower (1000 petaled lotus)</i><p><i>The flower opens to the warmth</i><p><i>and draws the sunlight down it's stem,</i><p><i>into your head,</i><p><i>sparkling, tingling,</i><p><i>into the third eye and throat,</i><p><i>to fill a reservoir space in the torso,</i>
<br> <i>an oval going from belly to collarbone.</i><p><i>When the space is filled</i>
<br> <i>with bright sparkling radiant light,</i>
<br> <i>brilliant as the sunrise reflecting off the ocean,</i><p><i>we notice the inner container has a hole in the bottom,</i>
<br> <i>and a stream of light leaks from the bottom of the reservoir,</i><p><i>down through your feet, down</i><p><i>down like a laser beam drilling</i><p><i>down</i><p><i>Waaaaay down</i><p><i>to the very center of the Earth.</i><p><i>Gaia's fiery crystalline heart,</i>
<br> <i>Her Kundalini.</i>
<br> <i>When the beam hits the centre,</i><p><i>it seems to almost start some kind of explosion down there</i><p><i>it sparks a volcano of light from the firey crystal</i><p><i>that comes up</i><p><i>up</i><p><i>up through the earth</i><p><i>roaring back up</i><p><i>like "Old Faithful",</i><p><i>back into your feet,</i>
<br> <i>(feel them start to tingle?)</i><p><i>exploding the reservoir of light in your center</i><p><i>into star bright radiance, glowing, growing</i><p><i>into an oval bigger than you.</i><p><i>shooting out the top of your head</i><p><i>like an umbrella-fountain,</i><p><i>sun drops rolling down to describe the oval</i><p><i>that is the perimeter of your aura,</i>
<br> <i>two feet above your head</i>
<br> <i>and three feet below your feet</i>
<br> <i>making it complete and sealed against all harm.</i><p><i>A force field bubble shielding you.</i><p><i>Some of the light going up</i><p><i>keeps going up</i><p><i>waaaay up</i><p><i>up to wherever it came from</i><p><i>up there.</i><p><i>The center, fed and charged</i>
<br> <i>by the light flowing through you down and up</i><p><i>increases in brilliance</i><p><i>bigger and brighter</i><p><i>to fill the whole oval of your aura completely.</i>
<h2>
<b>Feel yourself<br>
as an egg of light <br>
on an eternal thread of light <br>
with light coming from Creator to Earth <br>
and back again <br>
through you <br>
and around you.</b></h2>
When you can hold this mental image clearly,
<br> (as bright and clear as you can make it)
<br> make an internal request for it to stay that way.<p>Snap your fingers,
<br> "Circuit is Locked in".
<br> Your unconscious will now maintain the light circuit,
<br> while you do other things.
<h2>
You are now grounded. <br>
<div align="center"><img src="../titles/barzap.gif" width=600 height=20></div>
<p>How do you feel?</h2><dl>
<dt>
Do you notice:</dt><dd>
the complete absence of negative, limiting, or fearful thoughts in this
state?</dd><br> the relaxation and sense of well being?
<br> the tingling of the soles of the feet and fingertips?
<br> the sensation of lightness of being?</dl>
<b>These are the signs of being grounded into "Universal Source".</b>
<p><div align="center"><img src="../titles/barzap.gif" width=600 height=20></div><p><i>If you try to find an emotion that describes the feeling of this
energy,</i>
<br> <i>you will discover that the only word that fits is "Love".</i>
<br> <i>absolute, unconditional love and acceptance.</i><p>The shock of this realization sometimes completely un-grounds very insecure
people.
<br> <b>Are your feet still tingling?</b>
<br> If this idea makes your feet stop tingling, you need to take a few
minutes to slide on past the feelings of being unworthy, you know Creator
loves you... unconditionally.
<br> Limitlessly.
<br> <i>Regardless of how you feel about you.</i><p><b>If you have become ungrounded,</b>
<br> <b>Go back to the top and start over again.</b>
<br> <b>Take your time, focus on your breathing in the light..</b>
<br> Very worth doing.<p><div align="center"><img src="titles/dragons.gif" width=540 height=16></div>
<h2>
Think of how good that feels... love is supposed to feel good, right?</h2>
<i>Think of how good it feels to be in love,</i>
<br> <i>and imagine what it is like to feel that good all of the time, but
without needing to be fixated on another person as the source of the feeling?</i></h2>

The foundation of my spiritual teaching is the Grounding exercise. This is
an exercise to open yourself to the universal life force, and draw it inside
of your body to accentuate your own life force. Begin by taking three deep
breaths. Breathing in relaxation, breathing out tension. You should be
sitting up straight with your hands apart, your legs uncrossed and your feet
flat on the floor. ... deep breaths ... just relax yourself.
<p>Now I want you to imagine that you're on a very warm sunny beach, or
somewhere out of doors that feels good to you... and I want you to imagine that
it's high noon, and the sun is directly overhead... and you can feel the heat
from it on the top of your head, it's very warm. Focus for a moment on
imagining this until you actually feel the heat. The effect could be very
subtle, but it will be very definite... and as you feel the heat on the top
of your head, it will feel like the top of your head has become a flower.
The crown chakra is the thousand petal lotus and as you feel the sunlight,
the flower begins to open, ever so gently. To open itself and spread its
petals so that it can draw the sunlight down inside of you.<p>
And as the flower opens, the sunlight begins to enter you. It goes in your
head. It goes in your face. You can feel it going down your spine and into
your neck. In the center of your torso, there is, like, a reservoir, to
hold this energy. Just imagine that you have an oval shape from your collar
bones to your pelvis, and the sunlight that's coming down inside of you is
starting to fill up this oval shape. You can imagine that the sunlight acts
like liquid if you like, but just imagine it filling that center, any way
you want to imagine it... visually... feeling it... If you tend to
imagine things with sound, then you can imagine the sound of a glass
filling. The tone changes as it fills up. The important thing is just that
you imagine that your center is filled with light, from above you.<p>
Now as your center is filled, I want you to imagine that the bottom of your
reservoir has a little leak in it. Not enough so that it's ever going to
drain dry, but there's sunlight coming out of the bottom of the reservoir.
It's going down through you. It's coming out your tail bone. It's going
down your legs. It's going out your feet into the earth... and as it goes
into the earth, it's like a laser beam drill. It's drilling down... down...
down into the earth... all the way down into the earth. It's going down...
it's going down to the very center of the earth, which is a beautiful
fiery crystal... and as the light from above you touches that fiery crystal
at the core, it starts off an explosion down there.
<p>
What you give to
the crystal it gives back better. and now there's more light, and its coming rushing back up the hole that you
made to the center of the earth. It's like a volcano. It's like Old
Faithful. It's coming back up, up, up, up, and you feel it when it comes in
your feet, Your feet will start to tingle like they've been given a really
good massage. Pay attention to that tingle. You feel it coming up your
legs. You feel it coming up into the center, and when it hits that center,
that center explodes into radiance, and expands into a circle that is the
outer edge of your aura. Approximately a couple of feet above your head, a
couple of feet below your feet, all of you is contained in a big egg shape,
a big egg oval of light.
<p>
Imagine that.
<p>
The oval is filled with light, and some of the light that's coming back up
through you from the earth. Is shooting out the top of your head, and its
coming down around you like one of those fountains that are shaped like an
umbrella... and the drops of the earth light are raining down around the
outside of your egg aura to create a shield for you, like an egg shell. As
the light rains down, it begins to shield you.<p>
Now some of the light that's coming back up from the earth goes all the way
back up where it came from, all the way back up to touch the sun... and when
the light from the earth touches the sun, it reacts exactly the same as when
the sun touched the crystal underground. The love you give to the earth,
and give to the sun begins to come back down multiplied. So now you can
feel almost like a warm rain, more sunlight raining down on top of you, coming
into you, and filling you.
<p>And if you imagine how the energy is moving between the center of the Earth
and the center of our solar system, which is the sun, and your own aura,
it's like you are an egg of light, on the eternal thread of light, with the
energy moving through you both ways. Focus on the energy moving. Get the
conception very clear in your mind. You may feel it as a tingly sensation.
When you've got it very clear, (*snap*) lock it in, so that the energy will
continue circulating without your conscious focus.<p>
Keep watching this video and practicing until you get very good at doing
this.
