ground and centering

GROUND AND CENTRE:

* start by standing up as straight as possible, head slightly tilted back, taking in a few deep breaths - through your nose (if you can)- trying to push your belly out as you inhale.
* hold it for a few seconds... then slowly release... keep your lips slightly apart as you exhale.
* With every exhale, feel yourself sinking deeper and deeper into a deep state of relaxation.... deeper and deeper into a pleasant state of calm..
* Keep breathing in this way for a few more breaths (between 2&5 breaths. reamining comfortable)
* Now when you feel relaxed and ready move onto the next step..
* Take another deep breathe, drawing in deep and strong energy from the earth, up thorugh your sole of your left foot as you inhale.. through your entire body..
* As you exhale drawing out that energy through your right foot.. leaving you feeling calm, empowered and ready for magick..

TREE OF LIFE GROUNDING:

* Imagine you are an ancient tree, feeling yourself planted on holy ground
* Sink you roots deep into darkness of the Earth, feeling the coolness of the earth, the rocks beneathe you as you go deeper into the Earth
* As your roots sink deeper into the soil you reach the fiery mantle of molton core and you feel the throbbing crystalline iron heart of our mother earth.
* With each beat the sensation is drawn up through your roots and with the throbbing you feel the warmth from the molton, filling you with magick and warming your heart.
* Now stretch yor branches up into the sky, way up into heavens reaching towards the light of the sun.
* As you reach the sun un curl your leaves to receive the Solar Father.
* Now go beyond into the stars, letting your conciousness flow through the twigs embrassing the universe, absorbing different lights and blazing energies.
* Once you have gained all of that draw it down into your body, letting it enfuse every cell, letting it illuminating your mind and flooding your heart with light.
* as your whole body is filled with the wonders and energies of the universe and magick, you are now in the centre of the universe.
* Take a deep breath and exhale, Enjoy :)

WORDS THAT CAN BE USED WITH VISUAL THOUGHTS - MY ROOTS GO DOWN:

my roots go down,
down into the ground
my roots go down

I am a redwood by the forest
My roots go down,
Down into the ground
My roots go down

I am a willow by the water
My roots go down,
Down into the ground
My roots go down

I am an Oak tree by a hill
My roots go down,
Down into the ground
My roots go down.

Thank you!
Grounding and centering is very important at everything you do that includes magick or mind exploration like meditation or even astral projecting

I agree. Thank you for the post.

i really needed this thanks

Grounding and centering is very important at every magickal thing you do!
You might think that Chanting a poem is good enough but it's not...You need to ground yourself so that the energy of the spell doesn't just flap around wildly and go to whereever it flies.
That is the main cause to why spells backfire!!!
With grounding and centering, we make the energy of the spell or a ritual stable and controlled, making it possible for our spells to reach the intended destination.

IM bit confused do i have ground and center b4 meditation ? im new to it all so a bit unsure , i have been try light meditation please help :)

grounding and centering IS a form of meditation, it's best to ground and center before magical workings or when you start feeling stressed or upset.

Thanxs for your help:)
