Grounding

 Grounding is connecting yourself and the Earth. You connect with the energy of the Universe, dispelling negative energies and absorbing the positive light energy that the Universe has to offer.

Ground before:

• spells
• rituals
• divination
• meditation
• shielding

1. Find a good space. Place both feet on the ground.

2. Visualize a cord of light running from your core to the Earth. 

3. Push all the negative energy to the Earth.

4. Pull the light from the Universe.

Other common practices are slow drumming or chanting, listening to relaxing music, or slow trance movements. 

Following spellwork, the same grounding activity as before can create a circuit completion sandwich. I was taught to take any excess energy raised during spellwork, and reach down to touch the earth and feel it run through my hands and back into the planet. 

Many people choose to eat after spellwork, which is the most intuitive and replenishing grounding activity a person might try!
