This new series of articles will contain a set of tools that each of us can use as we move further into the Ascension process. We are in a time of expanded growth now. Much of what we encounter feels different, even painful at times, but it is all part of a larger process—one that is moving us ever closer to Unity consciousness.
The first tool is Grounding—giving stability to our energy. This is the foundation for everything that will happen over the next several years, and it might be the most important area on which we should focus.
What does this term grounding mean and how can it be accomplished? Take lightening, for example. Lightening is electrical energy in the sky that manifests as light. It is harmless and beautiful until it comes into contact with something that connects it to the earth. It is pure potential until it is grounded, and only then does its power become apparent. Therefore, if you look at your thoughts as lightening, they are magnificent, but pure potential until they become grounded unto reality. The goal of grounding, then, is to take each thought we want to consciously create and give it a path to earth, to this present reality.
How can this be accomplished? If you can consider your physical body to be the conduit, it becomes easier this process. First you conceive an idea in your mind. Imagine this idea flowing into you from your Higher Self and entering through your crown chakra. Now look at your spine as the lightening rod connecting your energy centers with the earth. Envision your idea flowing down your spine and out into the ground through the soles of your feet—actually it helps if you see yourself connected deep into the earth by roots which stretch out from your body and extend deep into the core of the planet.
As your ideas are grounded, they become like seeds planted by the dark of the moon. Fertilize and water them with love, but leave them alone to grow. It doesn’t help a flower to mature any faster if you tug on the sprout. That will just kill it. Everything blossoms when the time is right.
The difficulty most of us have is getting past the chaos in our heads. We have thousands of thoughts every moment. Grounding involves selective thinking…choosing the ideas which are viable in the moment and sending only those to be planted—releasing the rest. This process of selecting is what enables our focus to be precise and to generate the results we desire and not those we don’t.
As we move into higher consciousness this selectivity becomes more and more important. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. Plant your feet firmly and extend your roots deeply, for this is the tool which will allow your dreams to manifest into reality.
