MATTHEW JOHN: “25 Ways To Get Grounded!”

As the energies streaming into our planet from the Sun and the Great Central Sun continue to intensify at a staggering rate, the importance of GROUNDING becomes more and more crucial. For those suffering from a seemingly endless stream of Ascension symptoms, grounding is an absolutely necessary practice to help your physical body and to increase your quality of life. Here are 25 easy ways to ground:

1. Spend time barefoot on the ground

This is by far the simplest AND most effective method. When your bare feet (or hands or any part of your body. are physically touching the Earth, you are directly electrically and vibrationally connected to the Earth and the Schumann Resonance that She continually vibrates. If you work from home or spend a lot of time on your laptop, set up your laptop outside on nice days and do your work with your bare feet touching the bare ground. You may or may not notice the effects, but in the long run it will make a big difference.

2. Stay hydrated

Water comes from the Earth!! Adding a pinch pink Himalayan salt to your water is a great way to stay hydrated and give your body essential minerals.

3. Eat grounding foods

Meat and root vegetables are grounding. As are red fruits. But do yourself a favor and purchase organic, grass-fed meat and wild fish if you can afford it. Lean meats like bison, duck, deer and lamb are more likely to be grass fed. Grass-fed beef if it is from a reliable source. Wild fish, especially wild salmon! Root vegetables: sweet potatoes, yucca, daikon, carrots, turnips, beets. Red fruits: watermelon, strawberries. Be sure to incorporate some red into your diet each day!

4. Sunlight!

Most Americans and Canadians are Vitamin D-deficient, especially those living in Northern climates. I recommend getting at least 20 minutes of direct sunlight exposure 3-5x per week to maintain healthy Vitamin D levels and also to ground and re-charge. Direct sunlight naturally recharges your chakras and detoxes your entire physical and energy body. Expose as much of your skin as possible to the sun–yes, if you live out in the country and have no neighbors, bare it all!!! If you live in the South or West where it is very hot, you certainly need to get your sunlight before 10 a.m. or after 5 p.m. in the summertime. In the wintertime middle of the day is best as that way you will be getting both UV-A and UV-B rays! If you live in the North, in the middle of the day is the best year round if it’s not too hot!!

5. Hugging trees

Trees love to be hugged and I love hugging trees!!! The trees are our friends and want to connect with us!!! It is extremely grounding to hug trees. Wrap your arms around a tree for 30 seconds with your bare feet on the ground and you will feel different afterward!

6. Breathing

Perhaps the simplest but most important. If you have a hectic schedule, please do yourself a favor and practice taking ‘breathing breaks’, where several times a day you stop whatever you’re doing to just focus on your breath for 30 seconds. Put your hand over your abdomen and just breathe in and out slowly. All meditative practices which focus on the breath are very grounding.

7. Creating a grounding cord

Visualize a cord of light about 6 inches in diamater starting at your root chakra for men or your sacral chakra for women, and running alllllll the way down and connecting with the center of the Earth (you can visualize the center of the Earth as either a great sun or a solid crystal core.. Focus on this grounding cord for a minute or so, and then declare that it shall remain in place until the next time you meditate upon it again. Make it a practice to put your grounding cord in place every morning after you rise and every night before you go to sleep. You can make your grounding cord literally any color. Experiment with which colors make you feel best. You’ll find that some days, you feel drawn to go with one color, and other days a different color. Go with that!!!

8. Focusing on your feet

Focusing on your feet while you walk or sit opens up your main foot chakras and is grounding. You can practice ‘becoming’ your feet–moving your consciousness down into your feet. I find this a great practice to do while walking in nature.

9. Nature

Spending time in nature is one of the fastest and most effective ways to ground. Allow Mother Nature to absorb any negative energy you’ve accumulated in your energy field. Allow the negative ions of the Earth to detoxify your physical body. Spending an hour in nature 3-5x a week will make dramatic differences in your health and well-being!!!

10. Salt baths

Taking a 20-minute soak in warm water with 2 cups or more of Epsom salt, pure sea salt, Himalayan pink salt, or rock salt is a terrific way to ground. Also, bathing in salt water cleanses your energy field of negative energy and attachments.

11. Showers

Running water contains negative ions, which is grounding and detoxifying. Taking a shower morning and night is not only hygienic, but grounding!!

12. Playing with animals and children

Playing with your pets and your children is very grounding. They are much closer to the ground than us adults!!!

13. Yoga, tai chi, and qi gong

These ancient practices bring you into alignment with the breath and the present moment. They are very grounding.

14. Conversing with others

Having conversations with others in-person is grounding because it brings us into the present moment. The sharing of laughter and love is grounding and healing.

15. Exercise and playing sports

Physical exercise is grounding, as it brings you in touch with your body and the present moment. Playing sports for fun is great as the Joy of playing and being present which others is very grounding.

16. Grounding crystals

Carrying and/or wearing grounding crystals is a great idea to help you with grounding. All black crystals such as hematite, black obsidian, black kyanite and jet are not only grounding but also protect your aura.

17. Grounding shoes

There are several websites out there which are selling handmade earthing sandals and shoes. Leather is conductive to the natural energies of the earth, while rubber is not.

18. Grounding mats and sheets

I have not tried these yet but you can purchase grounding sheets and mats online, or you can make your own (there are YouTube videos showing how to do it and it’s pretty simple).

19. Drumming and playing instruments

Making music is grounding, as it brings you into the present moment of the music you are co-creating. Making music with others is even better!

20. Being creative

What do you love to do that lets those creative juices in you flow? Writing? Drawing? Painting? Singing? Practicing that creative passion brings you into Alignment with the Present moment and Joy and is very grounding!!

21. Grounding tones

You can search on YouTube for the Schumann’s resonance. There are several videos which have the Schumann resonance in binaural beats or tones. My favorite one is a video by Sapien Med, which you can find here.

22. Singing

Singing joyfully not only grounds you into the present moment, it clears out your throat chakra and balances your thyroid!!

23. Practicing presence

When you are present, you are grounded. You can make any activity grounding if you can focus on the activity itself, and slow down. A great way to practice this is every time you eat. To slow down, and focus on chewing the food. Not only is this grounding, but it drastically enhances your digestive processes and allows drastically more vitamins and nutrients to be absorbed by your body!!!

24. Running energy downwards

Visualize energy running down from above your head, through your crown, down your spine, and into the Earth, either through your feet or your grounding cord. You can do this while you are sitting, lying down, or even walking. You can look up the “Pushing Down Exercise” by Dr. L Wilson or click here to read more about the benefits of running energy down. His instructions are to run energy from your head down to your feet for 30 minutes or more per day, but I believe that any adaptation of this exercise is extremely beneficial, such as running energy from above your crown, through the crown and down through your grounding cord into the Earth. The key here is to run energy down. The benefits of doing this are extraordinary, as you will see if you read Dr. Wilson’s article. Benefits include detoxifying the organs, improved energy, and releasing etheric attachments.

25. Having a grounded person help you out

If you are lucky enough to be around someone who is energetically grounded, centered, and balanced, have them put their hand on your lower back for a little while and you will feel more grounded!

So there you have it, Lightworker family. Now go out there and get grounded!!!

NEZEL PADAYHAG: “How To Use The Elemental Energies To Recharge Your Batteries”

In this fast changing world, we need to keep pace to be not left behind. We strive hard to beat deadlines, seek to fulfill our plans and goals, and be in constant motion to stay smart and productive.

While all these are helpful in creating the life we want to live, our bodies can sometimes get exhausted and overwhelmed.

Hence, we need to pause, take a rest, and recharge the inner batteries that keep us moving.

There’s no need to wait to get drained. As symptoms of overload start to appear, let’s give our bodies the much needed break it deserves.

It doesn’t have to be long or complicated. We can recharge our batteries by simply tapping into the power of elemental energies.

How To Use The Elemental Energies To Recharge:

1. Air Element

Air element is essential for the survival of all living creatures. Without it, life wouldn’t be possible.

Seen as active, thin, and movable, air embodies freshness, happiness, intelligence, and mercy.

The energies that the element of air brings help in keeping our focus and rational thinking as well as open our mind to cosmic events.

How to fully connect:

Find a place, preferably an open space, where the air is clean and where you can feel the movement of the wind.

Nature is ideal, like a field or a mountain. But if it’s not possible, a roof or terrace is the best alternative.

Breathe deeply and feel the wind as it touches your face and your skin. Feel it as it blows your hair. Let go, have fun, and allow it to rejuvenate all your energies.

2. Water Element

The water is seen as a cleansing, healing, psychic, and loving element.

Water quenches our thirst and supports us when we swim.

Because water is the element of emotion and subconscious, a connection with it eases depression and the pains brought about by passions.

How to fully connect:

If you feel like crying, do it because it’s a means of connecting with water. By allowing your tears to flow down your cheeks, you allow bottled up emotions to flow with it.

A good cry reduces your stress and calms your mind. Water can also be used as an object for meditation, which can be done by feeling every drop of rain that falls on your face.

Another way is by moving your hand through a stream, lake, pool, or a bowl full of water. Feel its fluidity as it refreshes and energizes you.

3. Fire Element

Being the sole element that shines, fire is the purest of all the elements. Fire is used in rituals because it’s a small form of purgatory where the purging of negative emotions can be done.

It’s transformative as it converts the energy of other objects into other forms, like heat, ash, light, and smoke.

If you feel lethargic about life, connecting with this element re-energizes you.

How to fully connect:

Go out on a sunny day and feel the warmth and light of the sun on your skin. Sun gazing at sunrise or sunset is even said to provide a lot of health benefits.

Set a fire in your fireplace and hear the crackling of logs as fire consumes it. Meditate on it while smelling its smoke.

Another way is to light a candle and gaze into its transformational flame. Allow yourself to immerse in the energy of fire.

4. Earth Element

The element of earth is famed for its grounding benefits. Being the foundation of all the other elements, the earth is where the seeds of all things grow.

It’s an element of stability as well as the foundations of the body. It’s the realm of wisdom, knowledge, strength, growth, and prosperity.

Because it’s fertile and nurturing, Earth is also seen as our mother that provides us nourishment and shelter.

How to fully connect:

Press your hand against fresh soil to feel its vitality and stability.

If you have an access to a field, you can perform a sitting meditation. Sit on the ground and breathe deeply. Imagine your energy reservoir as a root that digs deeply into the Earth.

Allow the energy of the Earth to nourish this root until you feel calm and revitalized.
