Magical Notes:
Grounding ones self is very important as it’s a way of connecting with the
Earth, much like standing in the sea to connect to water, or standing in the
wind to connect with air. When we do rituals, spells etc, we can utilise the
Earths own energies with our own. This way we don’t sap our energies.
We can also use the grounding technique to aid meditation. Many have
also used it as a way of dispelling negative energies from our bodies.
How often have you walked barefoot on the grass and found you feel
lighter than before? That’s because you are connecting with the Earth
and dispelling any negative energies you hold inside. The Earth purifies
these negative energies much like trees when they absorb carbon
monoxide and breath out oxygen.
Here is a little technique from Deborah Blake.
Enjoy and have a blessed and loved week )O(

Grounding (Connecting with Earth)
Many of us no longer live on the land, so we have to make more of an
effort to connect with the element of Earth outside of ritual. Still, it is as
easy to as walking outside or sitting down under a tree or on a patch
of grass. If you don’t have a yard, or garden, take a few minutes from
time to time to seek out a local park or public gardens. If you don’t
have a green space near you, you can use this easy substitute: take
a medium-sized pot and fill it with soil (store bought is okay, although
it is nice if you an dig some up somewhere). Take five minutes to put
your hands into the dirt and feel the connection.
