I was recently asked what technique I use to ground myself. This is the technique I use, you may want to tweak it to suit what works best for you. These are also the directions to help move your spirit in alignment to spiritual ascension.

Grounding for spiritual work
Sit tall and comfortably with no distractions, or lie flat. Try to keep your posture straight. Take minute to breathe deeply, imagine these deep breaths are cleansing your body and mind of any type of energies. You intention is to become a neutral vessel.

When you have calmed down to a neutral state of being, imagine/hear that your body is emitting vibrations that sound like a fan cycle, low and rhythmic. Imagine that your fan is speeding up faster and faster to the point where it now sounds like a high pitched frequency that makes a solid noise. Imagine this noise goes higher and higher until it is inaudible. This is projecting your intention to raise your vibrational frequency.

Imagine your spinal cord growing down through your body into the earths and connecting to the core, or a tree outside, wrapping around the roots. In your mind ask the earth/tree permission to ground. You are now grounded.

Next imagine the top of your head opening up and you ask higher consciousness to connect with you. "I wish to connect with energies that only hold the intention of my souls higher purpose." It sends down a pure bright white light is coming down from the sky and runs straight through you to the core, imagine the energy always moving through you but also fills your entire body. This is projecting your intention to connect to higher consciousness. Imagine this grows outward like a bubble/force field. You are projecting your intention to become protected. Make the bubble as little or as large as you wish. You are now protected and connected to the source of higher consciousness.

Keep trying this until you feel your body is changed. You should feel a bit of light tingle, like an energy current coursing through your body. Your third eye area might become sore. If you are having trouble start over. Holding a dark grounding stone such as obsidian in one hand and a conduction element such as quarts crystal, amethyst, or copper in the other might help you connect better. By holding these stones you are projecting your intention to ground, connect and protect to the source of higher consciousness.

Grounding for protection (leaving your home)
Begin with the same process, but now imagine that you summon the archangel Michael, you say something like "I wish to connect with energies that only hold the intention of my souls higher purpose." He comes to you and you ask him for the blue cloak of protection.  You slip on this robe with hood, you are now grounded and protected for leaving your home. Thank Michael and ask him if there is anything that he would like to say to you. You may want to spend some time enjoying his energy and have a conversation with him. You may want to keep a grounding stone in your pocket or purse when you leave the house for physical reminder and conscious assurance.

Once you have achieved these states you can ask your higher self to maintain these states as long as you need to or in the case of protection and grounding until you say otherwise. You can also use this technique to protect your home, car, self, office, other people, etc.

Always thank the energies that come to you. When you are finished, you can withdraw your tail from the earths core and close down your light bubble if you wish. If you do not close your circle, note that you may notice that you start to feel a little dizzy, tired, and disrupt electrical appliances and systems. That is because you are operating at a frequency that is much higher than what these systems were built with and a higher level than what your body is used to. Staying in these states will start your body and spirit into the ascension process of spiritual growth and aura development and expansion.

Love and light
