The purpose of proper grounding technique is eight-fold . . .

  • It helps you shake off the daily troubles, and be present.
  • It begins the magickal work of shifting consciousness.
  • It raises some energy to work with.
  • It creates a container within you for energy to be held and directed.
  • It acts as a lightening rod, so excess energy can flow freely without damage to your conduits.
  • It protects you from taking on harmful energies.
  • It helps ensure that you send out only beneficial energies.
  • It unifies the group energy.

When Is Grounding Necessary?
It is recommended to do a grounding before any magickal work . . .

  • Before ritual, grounding creates a safe conduit for divine energies and unifies you with the others in your Circle.
  • Before magick or spell-casting, it generates energy to empower your work.
  • Before divination, solid grounding technique opens your mind to understand what the Divine is trying to say.
  • Before healings, it protects you from being receptive to taking on harmful energies, and purifies the energy you are using and minimizes the risk of harm to the other.

There are MANY grounding techniques that I could display that are deep, thorough and long.  But when the time is needed to ground yourself, most people, are looking for something quick, fast and in a hurry, myself  included.

Here is a quick and easy way to ground yourself at the exact moment you need to do so.

A Quick “Mental” Grounding Technique

This three-part method can be done mentally in a flash whenever you need it. Memorize it so it is always instantly available. It can also be combined with any of the earlier methods.

  1. Place your feet flat on the ground and take a deep in-breath. As you release this breathe, mentally drop your energy low in your body.
  2. With another deep in-breath, move your energy down governing meridian, from the top of your spine, down your spine, off your tailbone, and into the Earth. You are creating a “grounding wire” to the Earth. Also feel the pull of gravity down through your legs and feet.
  3. As you release your breath, release your thoughts and concerns and release any energy that is not yours down through this grounding wire and through your feet.

With this technique, you consciously align yourself with the force of gravity in pulling your energies down into the force field of the earth. By involving Governing meridian, you are able to instantly move your energies with your mind.
