Grounding
(by Cheryl Dunn)
Grounding connects you to the living earth and the the cosmic
energies of the heavens. You can do this standing, sitting, riding in
a car or even standing on your head if you wish. I wouldn't want the
visualization task for the last one, though. :)
The best position to start out is sitting in a chair with your
feet flat on the floor and your palms resting on your thighs. This is
called the Egyptian posture and is an open meditation posture rather
than the closed posture of the lotus from India. The open posture
allows for a free flow of energy through your body. It acknowledges
and embraces our life's relationships.
So, have a seat. Get comfortable. Breathe deeply into your belly
rather than rapidly in your chest. Now imagine a cord from your tail
bone and feet reaching into the earth. Send out roots like from a
tree. Connect yourself solidly with the earth. That's it.
Now that you are grounded pull up some green earth energy for
yourself. It will be slow peaceful energy that can sustain you in
times of stress. Feel this nurturing energy flow up through your feet
and tail bone to your heart then allow it to flow out to every cell
in your body.
Next send any negative energy or any energy that you perceive
came from a source other than yourself down through your grounding
cord into the earth. Say to it, 'I release you to be used for good.'
This energy will then be cleansed by the earth and recycled back to
where it originated.
Thank the earth for the use of it's energy.
Check with yourself. How do you feel now? Smile. Our earth loves
us all.
While you are still grounded imagine or visualize the crown of
your head opening up and receiving white light from the cosmos. This
is star energy and will be golden and warm. Run it down the back of
your body and allow it to mix with the earth energy. Allow the mix to
flow to every part of your body, your mind and your aura.
And how do we feel now? Thank the cosmos for the loving energy it
has given you.
Decide that any excess energy will drain off down your grounding
cord and be recycled by our earth. You can also bend over and spill
out any excess cosmic energy from your crown rather than cycling it
all the way through your body to your grounding cord.
You have been running some form of energy all your life, so while
this is new to your concious awareness, it is not a stange thing for
you as a being to be doing. Still, don't over-do since you are
handling a lot of energy with this exercise. Seven cycles a week are
recommended for beginners.
You are now in an enhanced state mentally and psychically. If you
want to look for Power Animals, Names or Symbols it will be easier.

Aura Cleansing
(by Cheryl Dunn)
Amethyst and Anyone else who wants to try,
You can explore and repair the seven boundries of your aura.
It is a powerful healing and will help you in many ways.
When you have run several cycles of earth and cosmic energy
check for any pictures that may show up and look at them and
explode them. Bless them and let them go.
Next rest your awareness in the center of your head. If you
have trouble doing this, place your hands over your ears and
go to the area between your hands. This is called the 'seat
of your soul'. Notice how this feels. It is usually a calm
center to be in and a good place to start any soul work.
Now move your attention to two or three inches outside
and around your body. Your aura is oval or egg shape and
goes all the way around you, including your feet. It consists
of seven layers and can extend out several feet. No rule on
how far it goes. You are the only judge of where your
aura's outer boundries are. The first two or three inches
is the first layer of the aura and is related to your physical
health. Go over the boundries of this layer as well as all
six outer layers.
Look around the layer of the aura you are repairing. See,
feel, hear or imagine something you would like to repair
and then repair it. If you don't find any thing to repair,
spend some time smoothing the boundries. Own the entire
boundry. Contemplating the characteristics of a particular
layer can help you light up this boundry.
Things you may find are rips, holes, weapons, dents,
bumps, ridges and no boundry at all. All these anomolies
are caused by the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
Fortunately they can be fixed - by you. Sew up the holes,
put a poltice or a bandage on them, fasten them back
together with velcro or duck tape. What ever will begin a
healing of the damage that has been done.
Smooth out the dents (caused by others throwing "Stuff"
at you. If they are big take a psychic hammer to them and
tap or bang them out. Weapons are someone else's negative
energy they threw at you. Pull them out and drop them down
your grounding cord or blow them up. Be sure to blow up
any pictures you find attached to them.
If you find an area of no boundries, pat or hug it into
place. Create a new boundry if you need to. Use gold cloth,
or gossomer spider webs or star dust or what ever you find
beautiful. (No beer cans. You will just have to get rid of
them later. :))
Any unwanted energy, colors, feelings, sounds should be
dropped down your grounding cord for our earth to recycle.
Take a vacumn cleaner with you and get rid of the dust and
dirt. Drop the bag down the grounding cord.
This is your aura. Decorate it with the colors and sounds
and feelings you would like to have there. It is your most
intimate home. Make it glorious. If it seems like you can't
do it all in one sitting, dust and polish what you can.
Patch and stitch and put up temporary bandages where you
know you will need to come back and work later. If you
have not done a lot of personal work, getting your aura
cleaned up and beautified can take some time. Just set
aside a few minutes at least once a week for this activity.
The pay off for you is tremendous.
Be sure to do all this with a spirit of play. You can't
get in trouble if you maintian a playful attitude. Don't
go ripping through trying to do everything at once or
invalidating yourself for having to clean house. Everyone
needs to clean house. Aren't you lucky you can do this
for yourself.
Shielding
(by Cheryl Dunn)
Klaus, And all. I called it shielding, but it amounts
to the same thing.
Do your grounding exercise. Really now, how many have tried that?
It puts you in a more powerful position to operate as a spiritual
being. And you feel good afterwards.
Anyway, do the grounding. Look for any negative energy in your
space and cycle it down through your grounding cord into the
earth. Look for any pictures that you may want to blow up.
Enjoy blowing them up. You can still recall the memory of that
incident or person if you wish, you just won't have so much
negative emotion and energy tied up with it.
Now we can get into chakra cleansing and aura cleansing and
how to open and close chakras and how to repair your aura,
but for right now I just want you to get the idea that these
things may need doing so you won't try to go overboard on
the shielding. Why not? Becsause you will be locking in
dirty yucky bad stuff that you really would rather get
rid of instead of sealing it in with you.
The first type of shield is one you should use if you
are doing a reading for another. What you usually do
with another person is to establish a heart cord or
connection. This is a good thing. Giving of your
essence to the other person is not. So you put up a
metal barrier at your solar plexis and stomach level
to keep them from draining your energy. You visualize
or imagine it in place and it is there. I keep my
'reading shield' there at all times. So, have you
got your shield in place now? Good. When you are done
with a reading don't forget to disconnect the heart
cord. You should also flick your fingers to get rid
of any negative energy that may have come up during
a reading.
A second type of shield is a circle of light.
You can draw a white light circle around you with
your hands and invoke a blessing by saying 'Let
my action (or this reading, or whatever) be for the
greatest good.' This white light is Creator energy
and you are safe. Others can be included in this
circle and it is a good space to do readings.
You can open this and the next circle by reversing the
directtion of your hand motion and saying 'I release
this energy for the use of those who need it.'
If you feel you are under attack by a psychic
energy that means you harm draw a circle of
fire around you and your higher self and your
aura. You can use this in an emergency anywhere
you are. Don't include others because then they
will be in it with you and you will have to let
down your fire wall to get them back out. If you
have done something that draws this kind of energy,
you shouldn't pull others in with you. You may not
have done anything 'wrong'. You may just have drawn
the jealous attention of someone who does not like to
see people happy or at peace.
Spirit Lady has you looking for your symbol. Well guess
what? That will also afford you protection. Mine is a
spiral webbed shield and Klaus has a cross with a shield.
Might be that's one of it's uses. Whatcha think? :)
Hold it in front of you to ward off attack.
Your power animal can also help you by giving you
the particular energy it is imbued with. Even Deer
or Mouse can help. Deer can run like the wind and
Mouse can hide really good. Learn the attributes of
your animal. Also study its prey if it is a predator
and its preator if it is prey. That is a symbiotic
relationship that both benefit from and will have
lessons for the traveler.
Now you can install a solid metal shield around you
but be sure to mount a video camera so you can see
what is going on 'outside'. You will not be able to
do any readings or communicating psychically with
the metal shield in place, but no one could get you
either. This is extreme and would not normally be
used unless you got into some very serious trouble.
You would have to handle your attacker at that point
or stay sealed off for the rest of your life. Really,
the best thing to do is to work for the greatest
good and not to dabble or fool around with any of
the negative forces you may run across.
You can draw a pentagram on the roof of your car
every time you drive so that you will be safe in
traffic. You can draw one over each passenger as
well as the driver if you feel the need. You can
draw the pentagram or any other sacred symbol on
the roof of your house to protect your home. Just
draw it in the air with your fingers and have
it float up to settle on the roof.
Another thing you can do is the thanking ceremony
that Spirit Lady told Melissa. Thank the earth for
providing for you, thank your Power Animal for
traveling with you, thank the Creator for allowing you
your time here to learn. Acknowledging your
relationship to those who support you will
strengthen the ties with them and give you more
strength to continue your journey.
You can carry special stones or feathers or
coins or any other thing that comes to you as
a gift from life. Some people have little
pouches that they carry with items such as
these. You can call it a medicine bag or a
magic bag or just a bag. It should be things that
have meaning to you. Even tiny drawings can go
in there. Some people put tobbacco or pennies
in it to leave as gifts to the earth when they
have enjoyed a space outside or gotten a 'gift'
from nature.
Take a shower. Wash the negatives down the drain
to be recycled by our earth. It really works.
Lots of things you can do, huh? The very best
thing you can do for yourself is to work for
the greatest good for all involved. That means
you as well as others. Don't wear yourself to
a frazzle because someone 'has to have'
something you should give out of love and concern.
Focusing
(by Cheryl Dunn)
Focusing is like having a laser beam compared to an overhead light.
Use your abilities of focus and concentration to sense energy.
Focus is the ability to concentrate on one idea to the exclusion of
all others. If you want to find information, it is important to focus
upon it. The degree of focus you put on it will determine how fast
you gain the knowledge you seek.Focus takes you directly to what you
seek. as you concentrate on something, thinking of it to the exclusion
of all else, you are directing your mind like a laser beam. When your
mind is thus directed, you cannot be affected by the other energies
in the universe; you are protected in that sense, and what you are
focusing on becomes clear. Imagine that focus is like a beam of energy
that goes out into the future, into another person, into whatever you
want answers about, and lights up that area. It is like a beam of
energy that goes out from you and sets up, like a telegraph wire, a
way for energy and knowledge to come back. If there is anything you
want to become aware of, focus upon it, for whatever you turn your
attention to you will create. As you become aware of energy, you will want to determine if it is charging or draining you. You have the ability to determine that
by monitoring your energy. If you are paying attention to a cetain
situation and feeling drained, acknowledge your ability to know and
sense truth. If you are involved in any situation, you know if you
are being draind by it or charged. Become even more aware of those
things that charge you, for where you turn your attention you begin
to attract more of the same.
