Using exercises to raise our energy--in every situation

Every time we met–unless it was a completely social event– Taveta, my guide in human form towards light– would guide us into a clearing, grounding and centering. I realized that if we inwardly do an exercise in every action that we take in our daily life; we can function at a higher level.
And like a tuning fork, create around us, waves of clarity and wholeness.

Invocations, mantras, prayers seem to belong to a certain religion; and seem exclusive to others because of language or other barriers; but once we think of them in this way: as  a way of operating at the highest vibration available to us, it is easier to follow them.

For there is nothing we do that is ordinary or commonplace or  petty–everything is imbued with freshness and meaning.

Re: Using exercises to raise our energy--grounding/centering

Meenakshi, how do you perform your grounding and centering?

Re: Using exercises to raise our energy--grounding/centering

Jessica, I visualize the channel/tube of light in the center of my energy body. It extends          towards the universe and the crystal at the center of the earth. Sometimes, a tree…with energy flowing in from all directions, meeting at the heart and extending outward, around my aura and connecting to all beings.

Takes longer to write than to do!

Re: Using exercises to raise our energy--grounding/centering

Meenakshi- That is really beautiful!
Although no where near as beautiful, this is very simple so I thought I would share one I use also….

I have a few friends who are aura soma practitioners- they are gifted with an enormous amount of knowledge on the use of colour for healing. They told me to wear red socks for grounding.
I have a tendency to feel very light headed at times, to the point where I get dizzy and can't walk straight. One evening after seeing a medium perform, I walked out into the lobby and nearly fell over. I couldn't walk straight let alone drive myself home, so I thought 'red socks, I'm wearing red socks' and I was amazed how quickly I felt the earth energy rise up into my legs and through my body. I felt grounded and was able to drive home.
So thinking 'red socks' works as well as wearing them.

Re: Using exercises to raise our energy--grounding/centering

LOL! You're right, Karin Maree. That would do it.

And in a healing session; sometimes I just hold the other's ankles or toes…that helps too. Drinking water as well…

Besides which, there is always housework!

Re: Using exercises to raise our energy--grounding/centering

And I realized …also water. Just looking at the pictures on the meditation of water thread...

We can ground and center by swimming, splashing water, showering, or even walking on the beach…

Re: Using exercises to raise our energy--grounding/centering

I can relate to becomming grounded with water. Taking a long hot bath does it for me but, i engage in recreational activity involving water in numerous other ways also. My astrology chart has only Saturn in a water sign and that is Scorpio closely sextiling my sun. Not sure of the logic here but feel there are relavent dynamics at play.

Re: Using exercises to raise our energy--in every situation

Other quick ways to “ground on the go” when your body is buzzing and you need to bring it back to a more relaxed place.

Water has been mentioned here, running the affected area, or hands/wrists under cool running water can work wonders. A trip to an ocean or stream is preferable, but tap water will work too.

Touch metal (coated metal and cast iron pans are excepted here)

Eat some carbohydrates. Bread, plain sugar cookies, plain crackers, etc. Think bready, not sugary. Not sure why this works. Perhaps it keeps your body busy doing other things, or requires a certain amount/ quality of your energy that uses up the “buzzy” energy. But, it does work

With attention on your chakras, take a few deep cleansing breaths. Feel this “fresh air” move into each energy center, “airing it out.” Breathe out the “old” energy.

“Breathe Peace” : Visualize the word “Peace” floating in front of you. I usually visualize it either chest level, or in front of my mouth/chin area. Breathe it in. Watch the word slowly breaking apart and being breathed into you, where it bonds with your being. Repeat as necessary. Presumably this would work well with other words as well, I simply find Peace most beneficial for me. : )

Just thought I'd add my “two cents”   : )

Many Blessings,

Re: Using exercises to stay in light--for light beings

For light beings who sometimes can't take dense earth energies:

It helps to connect to the crystal heart of the earth mother through
thread-roots of light. She can give us the nurturing we need to see
these dark times through and keep in the light. That is all you need to
do. Be  a tree of light , connecting earth mother to the stars whence
you came. Allow her nurturing energy to flow through you and out into
the universe. Allow healing star light to flow down and out into mother
earth, taking all toxins and fears and doubt from you. This in-breath
and out-breath will help you expand to your essential nature on earth.

Look around you. You are in a forest of light trees, all coming down from an over-light source. You see the shadows that come from these light pillars, to play their shadow game on earth, and go back. They come from light and go to light. Your awareness allows you to stay in light, and not get caught in these plays.

Once
you are at ease, breathe out all that's within you that is not your
essence, into the earth - she can recycle and transmute those toxins
with the light you allowed in. Then

Re: Using exercises to raise our energy--in every situation

Sweet Meenakshi!  This is joy, absolute utter JOY.  Even as I read your words my spirit was soaring – out to breathe in the sweet fragrance of the spring soil to lay on the ground, to ground to Mother Earth, sending roots down branches high toward the stars, pulling in the light from the heart of the universe deep into every cell of my being! 

Breathe in light, breathe out light.  Yes.  We are together.  In the light.  And what wonders lay before us.
Peace and Oceans of Love!

A beautiful meditation, thanking you for your light and love

Re: Using exercises to raise our energy--in every situation

The Power of Light is a sacred pod that helps bring light.

Thanks for sharing healing light around the world and thanks to those that receive our light as well.

Re: Using exercises to raise our energy--in every situation

Wow, it looks like it's almost been a year and I never said thanks for all these wonderful suggestions. I had never imagined the center of the earth to be a crystal. When I do clearing exercises I imagine a shaft of light extending through the top of my head to the heavens/divine energy and all the way down to the center of the earth, though I think of it as fire. I can do this not only on myself, but on a building I'm about to enter.

Have you ever gone into a hi-rise and the energy is so dense it makes you dizzy, almost as if the floor is wiggling under you and the walls are buckling? I have, every time I forget to clear the energy of a space before I enter it! It happens the most in hospitals and office buildings.

Re: Using exercises to raise our energy--in every situation

Hi J~E~S~S

I agree with you on the different feeling in a high rise by of building. It is not a grounded sensation being that high up.  It is good to look out the window and spot things on the ground at a distance and that helps anchor you while you are up high.
I was reading a good piece by Victoria here on her experience on EarthDay.  Just reading helps anchor from a high place:

” I was flying thru the sky. Looking down at EARTH. Feeling most grateful for this rare vantage point indeed, this wonderous view of Grand Scale & Big Picture, with Bach in the ear-bud & a bright silver buckle securing me to blue plaid apholstry– I felt like an Apollo astronaut watching the planet float by below me. SHE is ME !  I am Her! I owe my life to GAIA, my Mother, birther, sustainer, nourisher, teacher, playmate, my lover …

 From the air, the rolling green hillsides give way to sharp jagged rock, then great stone mountains covered in braille messages where snow still dots their majestic
surface… ready to land  the farms come into view, then the fields & finally family gardens– witness to the bounty & beauty & the promise of Her re-curring seasons in this light of spring. I close my eyes to savour these images & feel in a strange way intensely connected from the sky  & forever firmly rooted along Her path.” victoria

Re: Using exercises to raise our energy--in every situation

Hi, Lee, thanks for your response! Great advice there, and great story by victoria.

My feeling of the floor and walls buckling may as well happen on the first floor, as soon as I enter a building inhabited by lots and lots of people. It really has little to to with heights, and more to do with the amount of people who go through the building who are not connected with their spiritual selves. I walk in and I feel like the entire building is buckling, like the opening credits in The Matrix movies. Then I remember to offer the building to the light and resolve not to forget to do that until after I enter again.

One time when I was walking on the first floor of a hospital building, on my way out, I felt that sensation of denseness, of wavy floors. I had the feeling an emergency had just happened and I was walking in its wake. Perhaps someone dying was just wheeled down this ER hallway. I offered the entire situation up to the light for God to work out whatever was best in this scenario.

Re: Using exercises to raise our energy--in every situation

Hi Meenakshi and all,

I agree and practice: “if we inwardly do an exercise in every action that we take in our daily life; we can function at a higher level.”

Re: Using exercises to raise our energy--in every situation

Lovely videos of where chakras emerge from, and other links to chakra meditations.

Re: Using exercises to raise our energy--in every situation

Great link, Meenakshi. I'm still trying to download the newest Shockwave player because neither my IE nor my FF could load the animation. Will see it tomorrow.
