**First, I need to apologize for taking so long to get this post out! I had promised someone back in November that I would write a post about energy basics, but life has been busy life-ing! (I think I could write a novel just from my experiences over the last couple of months!) š**
Recently, Iāve been crossing paths with people who are new to understanding energy. These beautiful, empathic souls are feeling the heaviness of the world but are not yet equipped to quite deal with the turmoil it can cause in our hearts if we arenāt protected and grounded. Even on my own personal journey, Spirit has been highlighting the need to go āback to basicsā and Iāve been doubling down on my meditation practice.
There are a few easy things that we can all do to help protect and clean our own energy. They are: Grounding, Centering, & Shielding and they should be done daily as part of your hygiene routine. In fact, brushing your teeth would be a good time and reminder for you to do these 3 easy steps.
šGROUNDINGš
Ground your energy into the Earth. Itās easy and makes such a huge impact! There are so many easy ways to ground yourself, Iāll just list a few and you can find one that speaks to your comfort level:
*The absolute fastest way to ground yourself is to touch grass. š The gamers are right!!! Bare feet on the Earth is best, but sitting on the ground, or putting your hands on/in the earth is fantastic too! Hug a š³ or if youāre shy- even just touching a tree or leaf is great!! Go for a walk and breath deeply, inhale fresh air and exhale your worries.Ā
*Play with/groom your pets! š¶š± Our animal companions are an extension of the Earth and give us tangible love back instantly. We donāt want to always overwhelm them with our heavy emotions though, so try to give the really icky stuff to Gaia first if you are able.
*Use your imagination: Visualize beautiful roots or cords growing from the bottom of your feet. Picture as your roots go down into the š, through all the layers of rock, sediment, and water tables- all the way down to the molten core. Plug them into the ā„ļø of Mother Earth. (ā£ļøSend her a little love when you do. She works so hard transmuting all of our heavy energy, a little love goes A LONG WAY!!! Trust me! When you do send her love, pause for a moment and try to notice what she sends back.š)Ā
ā£ļøGrounding is really beneficial to do if you are dealing with heavy emotions. Try sitting outside for a minute before reacting or replying in the heat of an argument. Notice how quickly that simple act can de-escalate the situation!
āļøCENTERINGāļø Reclaim your energy.
*Take a Chi Shower: āØRaise your arms over your head and inhale as you reach for the heavenly golden light. Exhale, and wash the golden light down over your body – using your hands as a guide. Do this 3 times.
*Imagine a golden sun āļø shining above your head, like a halo. The sunās rays stretch out to everywhere you have been, and to everyone you have interacted with recently. Breath deeply. As you inhale, the suns rays retract from where they have been spent, and as you exhale they shine, once again, directly on you. Do this 3 times.
š«§SHIELDINGš«§
Shield your energy daily!!! This is so vital for all the empaths out there! There is so much heavy energy running rampant around the Earth right now, learning to shield is a huge step to being able to navigate life a little more peacefully!!
*Use your imagination and picture a bubble of golden, white, peaceful light surrounding you in all directions and holding you securely as you go throughout your day.
*If you are around a lot of people (school, theme park, etc) you can also imagine a wall of mirrors surrounding your peace bubble like a disco ball šŖ© facing outwards- with you in the center. All the energy sent your way- will be sent back to the sender in kindness.
ā£ļøAny time you wash your hands throughout the day, it is a good reminder to check in and reinforce your peace bubble. š«§
One of my very favorite energy clearing tips: Epsom salt showers!! (Baths work too.) Put one cup of epsom salt on a wash cloth and stand under the running water. Feel the yucky energy drain from your body, while the salt dissolves under your feet! āØMagical and completely effective!! āØAdd your favorite essential oil for an aroma therapy treat!
These are just a few examples of energy hygiene steps that make can make a huge difference in your energy! These easy steps will keep you protected and more balanced in between your energy healing sessions. Iād love to hear your experience with these or any other easy beginner steps or suggestions youād like to share.
The energy out there might be getting a bit intense, but together we can keep each otherās spirits lifted as we support each other in love, peace, & kindness.
šBig Love & Many Blessingsš
XOXO
