[Music] hi guys welcome to the modern shaman QA time thanks for joining me on my youtube channel and if you are new to me I will say first welcome and thanks for being here and if you like this kind of thing and you're into this type of metaphysical community please like and share and comment and get involved in our community here I have a website which is just the modern shaman dotnet and you can get connected with me there for one-on-one sessions or to learn about my psychic development workshops okay so there's my schpeel let me read the question for today Rachel can you explain how to ground visually I'm glad you asked this question so when things feel ungrounded typically someone's explaining that because they feel out-of-body they feel not primal not very based in our 3d world okay so not connected to the earth not connected to their body they feel very in their head they feel out of body are very disconnected disassociation with things so grounded energy would be the opposite so our form is a very carbon-based like I said heavy dense energy form okay and oftentimes if you're ever astral traveling are out-of-body or experiencing a lot of higher dimensional planes when you come back into the human form it feels very heavy feels very dense you're like oh my gosh my body is so heavy it's like my muscles literally it's it's such an energy of density and compacted energy okay like coal almost you know um it feels like that feels like a compacted form that's just typically how I would explain the human body feeling okay now we can bring more light into the body and whatnot but that's also how I would explain what it feels like to feel grounded it feels very physical based very dense and you're able to sustain this interaction with everyday life you know with the bank teller paying bills doing your day-to-day 3d activities in a linear world you're able to do them well because you're very present in form okay kind of type-a kind of focused this is how it would explain someone who's grounded they can get things done there's a sense of logic there's a sense of moving through linearity now let's go through some techniques you asked about some visual can you explain how to ground visually you're doing this visually but you want to be as active as you can engaging the senses okay and this is what I always encourage with anything that you do even with your psychic senses you want to translate them as viscerally as you can into human form so you want to feel into it you want to smell into it you want to sense into it you want to hear into it you want to engage your internal senses as much as you can to activate the reality of that experience for you okay you want to integrate it not just make it internal vision but you want to feel into the totality of that experience tour as an experiential psychic belief does that make sense because oftentimes what happens when you do meditations or visual things they're kind of they're still held in the etheric ground they're like oh death did I'm playing prancing through a little field right now and I'm seeing all this stuff but you're not necessarily engaging all of the non-physical senses like you would in a write regular waking experience in a reality of what you would experience in 3d meaning you're not smelling air not hearing it you're not integrating all of those things so as much as you can when you ground or when you do anything psychically you want to try to activate all of your psychic senses which includes your clairaudience the internal hearing your clairsentience the internal feeling the hair centrists which is the internal old facts or smelling all of it as much as you can into that experience okay so one technique for grounding in that way would be to set up a grounding cord and I would do this through the root chakra but I like to do it through the pelvis step one would be to visualize your pelvis your like as if you're a skeletal system okay like your skeleton like a little bone you know skeleton that you would see on Halloween you know put out as decoration so imagine your pelvis as a little skeletal form okay and your pelvis has those two holes on each side of the hip bones right so I internally I would visualize those holes as an hook a hook that looks like to me I like to visualize it like a hook that is on a tow truck okay it's freakin solid okay that can carry some serious weight so we hook two hooks on each of the pelvis little holes okay in your hip bones right and then we braid those together those cords together and we send them down like we're sending down a tow truck or some sort of heavy crane down into the center of the earth letting it drop down from the hips sing it drop down from the into the earth you can even imagine like a trapdoor opening up you can get as specific as you can with the visualization see it go through the trapdoor sing and sink into the mud into the water into the porous earth as if there's an aquifer or cave underneath there it just keeps going down deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper into mother earth until it hits down o'clock at the bottom in the center of the earth and you would hook that crane to a porous rock there it always looks like a volcanic rock to me the core center of the earth this is your symbol your visualization for the center of the earth you hook it down under there and then I crank it tight just like I would crank you and you've seen this probably if you've ever had your truck towed okay so you see them and then they crank it to where it's a taut strand right cord so you hooked to your hips to both those sides of your skeletal body bones and all you hook down to the center of the earth and then you imagine a crank pulling it tighter and tighter and tighter until you can feel kind of this tug on the tailbone I am centered I'm grounded I am connected to the core of Mother Earth okay and this almost feels like it has a sense of being able to move anywhere you want to go anywhere on the planet you can move and go okay because your cord is attached to the center of the earth but that can move and still stay tunt and secure and grounded and connected so another technique that people use for grounding is seeing yourself as a tree okay and your pranic tube which is just a fancy term for your spinal cord and the energy that runs through the spinal cord right up your spine and through the chakra centers which are located within the nerve bundles of the body and seeing that spinal cord like a trunk of a tree and then seeing roots grow out of the tailbone or out of the toes and into the earth okay spreading themselves down first and then out okay and with that visualization I would just start by first feeling your tongue okay feeling this spinal cord the tailbone feeling heavy and I would recommend that you sit on the floor if you if you're doing a visualized meditation to ground okay get physically as close as you can to the floor same with if you can't get on the floor if you're if you have your feet on the floor if you're sitting in a chair then at least spread your toes out kind of squish your feet into the floor and get us in sation of the four of the ground okay of where the momentum and the energy is going downward okay so sitting feeling connected to the ground via the toes or via your tailbone on the floor feeling that sense of your tongue spreading with every breath out like you have roots coming out of your tailbone or out of your toes whatever area is touching the floor and spreading them into the earth okay just like squishy toes in the mud like you want to get that full like I said sensation of that energy integrating into the earth okay so you want to feel like go through the mud you want to feel it go through the water the heat the magma until you get to the core center of the earth and you want to spread it wide out through the earth and then you always kind of I do at least I want to tug upward on my body to feel that sense of like I'm solid I'm grounded I am I can't even I'm rock solid in this space okay and I have a sense of my etheric body feeling very connected to the earth secure peaceful grounded remember the root chakra deals with our sense of safety foundation this is our building block okay so often times when we don't feel grounded we don't have a sense of safety this is why when we lose jobs when we move when we have a death in the family when we have things that make us feel uprooted as a person we can feel unsafe and start to fear and move into elements of like worry and trauma because our root chakra feels shifty so to ground particularly in those times that are emotionally also up rooting it's really effective for the emotional body also to feel a sense of peace security safety and foundation into just being human on this planet so it gives you a ground foundation beyond everything else that's temporal that may be changing oftentimes especially in the metaphysical community when you start connecting with star family you start connecting with sole purpose and previous lifetimes there's this feeling like whoa I'm like floating out here on this little tennis ball in the middle of space and it almost feels very ungrounded it feels very detached so it's good when you're trying to integrate this sense of understanding this broader awareness you have to come because we're still human and we're still in our life we're still having to pay bills having to still interact and a human experience so coming back into a grounded sense of self doing these techniques can be particularly helpful just to help a sense of productivity in human form okay I feel like when I have a day where I'm like I have a busy day today I know I need to get stuff done I need to move through with a sense of fluidity and ease and productiveness then I always want to ground particularly in those days in that morning meditation so the last technique that I would recommend for grounding visually is if you're in a pinch like if you're in a hurry and you're like I don't have time for some big visualization it's just a quick breath okay so you just set the intention that with your breath you pull in energy from the mother earth to sustain you like lifeforce Qi energy that fresh oxygenated air from the trees having a sense of connection to the earth to sustain you it's very grounding and you can just do it literally in one breath like before you walk into a meeting before you get out of your car to meet with someone that you want to you know before you have a moment in your day that's particularly important or you want to be connected to yourself or you want to be very present in a decision that you have to make or an interview or whatever it may be just take a second spread again spread your feet into the earth like get really grounded in your stance whether you're standing up or you're sitting put your feet on the floor spread out your toes okay or stand and have a strong sense of stance like I'm grounded I'm firm you know feet shoulder-width apart having a strong sense of posture and connection to the earth then as you inhale you inhale in and you're visually seeing you're closing your eyes your internal sight visually seeing air or this life sustaining energy it can be like a little globe or sphere of energy coming out of the earth feeding up through your pranic tube is if your spine is a straw right and so you're just breathing up through the earth from your tailbone breathing up and when you exhale out you're exhaling out into the day or into the earth or into your sense of being your present surroundings okay so you're just pulling energy sustaining the body from the earth and breathing out into your present surroundings whatever that may be breathing in sense of strength security safety bringing in that energy from the mother earth and out into your presence surrounding your 3d okay just real quick but having that intention like I'm breathing in this nurturing breath of the life from Mother Earth just a couple breaths to Center you in making you feel grounded and connected and then go about your day
