Releasing Charged Emotions Through Grounding
Grounding is known in metaphysical circles as a process of connecting your consciousness to the earth and releasing excess energy from your body through physical actions. Since emotions are energy also, the process works very well in releasing fear, anxiety and anger.
There are many different ways to ground yourself but a few of the most common are as follows:
“Root” yourself to the earth.
Go outside and plant both of your feet firmly on the ground (barefoot is best, but it will work even with shoes on) and imagine that the soles of your feet are sprouting roots that travel down deep into the earth. Breathe deeply and with each exhale imagine that your fear is flowing down through your feet and into the earth. As you inhale, imagine that you are drawing up healing, restorative energy from the earth into your body.
Even if you cannot go outside, you can still do this exercise indoors " simply imagine that the roots from your feet travel down through the building and into the ground beneath it.
Wash away the excess energy.
Taking a shower or bath also seems to help discharge excess emotional energy from the body.
Hot, warm, or cold water will work equally well. As you bathe, scrub your hair and body vigorously and imagine that you are sloughing off the fear, anxiety and worry that may be clinging to you. When you rinse, see these particles of energy being washed away down the drain, leaving you feeling refreshed and renewed.
