Being of Earthly Use

There’s been a lot of information given out about the potentials of the 11.11.11 energies and many wonderful possibilities for our collective spiritual advancement and enhancement have been suggested. However, what does need to be emphasised is that the fundamental principle underlying all of this is the need to really ground ourselves and thus the new energies quite thoroughly over the next few day, weeks and months etc

There’s a few reasons for this. Firstly we humans need to be grounded to the planet – full stop. I’ve been a grounding “bore” for a few years now and I like to think it’s served me and hopefully others well – one of my clients pointed out to me at the weekend that on a previous Reiki course that I had forced her to ground…fortunately this was a spot of language confusion and she was actually quite grateful for the “forcing”. The point is useful though because it is essential to our physical, mental and energetic well-being and without it we can run into really big challenges.

I’ve seen a few unfortunate incidents over the years with people who haven’t been able to or have been unwilling to ground (and I do appreciate that’s their free will choice). However, in the past couple of weeks I’ve noticed an increasing amount of physical and mental “emergencies” with several clients with grounding challenges which are all related to the root chakra/grounding channel and frankly none of these are pleasant experiences. The possibility of these “emergencies” may well become more frequent in the future for those who are unable to get their grounding act together.

And on a more pleasant note, we do need to be of earthly use – and that means that the whole point of these energies is to anchor them into the planet and not just as a one-off thing on a significant date in the calendar; it’s an ongoing way of being and of life. I liken grounding (and protection) to cleaning my teeth; as an energetic being having a human experience, I wouldn’t dream of leaving my flat in the morning or going to bed at night without having done either and that’s how I would encourage others to view it too.

We also need to be fully grounded and anchored to exercise our discernment more clearly than ever from now on. Being grounded empowers us to work productively with and overcome the three “D” words – denial, delusion and dissociation. Our heads and brains are lovely but they are not going to be up to scratch in discerning all the energies of the future. In the world of energy all that glitters ain’t necessarily gold. It’s our hearts and our solar plexus that are going to do the hard yards for use in terms of deciding and discerning. In various spiritual traditions, the solar plexus is the gold, it is the true aura, the centre of power, our incarnational star etc – in short it’s where it’s at….that and the heart. And of course one way of getting those areas fully empowered….is getting grounded.

And grouding should be and is a joy. After all, we are connecting to the energy that sustains and nurtures all life on this planet and that’s certainly a pleasure for me. The “rules” of grounding have been changing for a while now, and are continuing to change…eating, stamping our feet a bit and some of the “lesser forms of grounding” are not going to cut the mustard anymore. We need to be doing active grounding exercises and we need to be doing it several times a day – a minute or so each time is pretty easy to spare when it’s one’s well-being that can be substantially improved by doing it. A proverbial piece of cake.

If anyone reading doesn’t know what the heck I am talking about when I mention grounding exercises then please email me – and I will send you a couple of grounding exercises by email.

Have a fabulous Friday and please do enjoy all the wonderful happenings on 11/11/11 – it is going to be a very special day – just stay connected to our beautiful planet while you are enjoying 🙂 and you are being of earthly use
