Every day of 2021 I have been gradually caring less and less about what people think of me. Regardless of them saying Iβm wrong or harmful. I know who I am, what my intention is, and what my purpose is.
I am going to continue to prioritize my happiness and authenticity instead of the happiness and opinions of others. Too many people these days try to control others more than they try to control themselves.
If your witchcraft starts negatively effecting your life, reevaluate your practices.
Find new paths, new practices that don’t hurt you.
You do not deserve pain or harm from your craft.
Suffering is not a sign of strength when it comes to spirituality. It is just suffering.
What is Grounding? 🌎✨
Grounding or “earthing” is the practice of attuning your body and energy to the Earth’s frequency. The Earth constantly vibrates at the frequency of 7.83 Hertz aka the “Schumann Resonance.” This frequency is created in the Earth’s electromagnetic field by the electrical interaction between the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere.
Top 3 Grounding Methods 🌲🌳🌲
- Walking Barefoot
One of the easiest and best ways to ground is walking barefoot on the Earth. Letting your skin touch the ground is all that needs to happen.
2. Tree Root Meditation
- Get into a comfortable position sitting or standing.
- Close your eyes and take 2 deep, mindful breaths. Consciously relax.
- When you feel ready, set your intention to ground to the Earth. In your mind’s eye, visualize roots sprouting from the soles of your feet or the base of your spine and growing into the Earth. See the roots reaching the Earth’s core and wrapping around it.
- Picture a golden energy emitting from the Earth’s core and radiating up the roots to reach you where you stand or sit.
- Take a moment to feel the sensation of the Earth’s energy knowing you are connected with it.
3. Water
Interact with the element of water in whatever way is available to you. You can take a bath, wash your face, drink tea, or dip your feet in an ocean or stream.
Benefits of Grounding 📚
Research present suggests there is the potential to experience physical, emotional, and mental benefits from grounding.
A 2015 study proposes grounding may reduce inflammation and accelerate healing in a similar function as antioxidants.
In a 2018 study involving 16 massage therapists, grounding reduced pain and elevated mood.
A study in 2015 suggests one hour of grounding can improve mood more than relaxation alone.
Grounding is a fundamental part of a healthy spiritual practice. I ground during meditation, before and after spell work, and when I feel anxious or unbalanced. I would encourage you to give grounding a try and notice how you feel!
