I was telling my buddy Andy at the skate center this morning about my insomnia and he said something that made complete sense and had me shaking my head laughing. I don’t know how many times I received messages about grounding and while I did a little here and there, I wasn’t really practicing the art of grounding. Sure I did it at the beach festival but for someone who lives four blocks from the beach itself and is already experiencing frequency changes and sensory overwhelm, I need to be grounding everyday.
He said that with all that spiritual energy, it needs to have somewhere to go. The biggest lightbulb went off and then I saw all the ways Spirit was telling me exactly that, through videos, shorts and every time the thought popped into my head and I dismissed it. I don’t know why I didn’t really heed the messages, I like taking my shoes off and putting my feet in the sand. Perhaps it’s just me being lazy and not wanting to walk the four blocks, which is not an excuse for anything.
Now that I’m thinking about it I remember hearing that grounding helps with sleep, specifically due to the release of energy by sending it back into Gaia. Energy is constant so it needs somewhere to go. Haha I just had a visual reminder too, Tuesday night in the peak of my insomnia, I saw a video literally titled insomnia but listened to an hour and a half of Greek mythology instead. The answers are always in front of me but I guess I’m still fine tuning that too.
Grounding gives any energy (negative energy too, and perhaps especially) somewhere to go so it doesn’t get all clogged in your cell memory and hang out bogging you down. It’s a natural ascension process of releasing and purging (negative) energy to create energetic space for higher vibrations. How do you think disease forms? There’s some kind of imbalance in the body and mind that creates disease, for the most part anyway. Knowing this, every time I think about someone with cancer or whatever else I wonder what could possibly be going on in their life that has them so out of balance it’s causing so much dis-ease in their body. Keeping in mind too though that many also come with specific tasks and/or obstacles to overcome, and disease could very well be one of those.
Grounding in the simplest of terms is putting your bare feet on Mother Gaia, the grass, the sand, dirt and even concrete I’ve heard because the earth is underneath. You can also visualize it and that too can have a positive effect, intention is everything. There’s grounding mats and other ways as well, it can look different for everybody. You just have to figure out what works best for you. Walks on the beach are my favorite and I’m sure my location is by design, a lot of healing modalities happening at the beach.
That’s the beauty about spiritual awakenings…they’re unique to each individual and there’s no wrong way to do it. Somebody recently asked me what rainbows meant, his mother just passed away. I told him that means something different for different people. Get curious I told him, look it up and see what resonates, or makes sense, to you. I promise you, ask and you shall receive. The universe, and your passed on loved ones, know what you’re doing and will conspire to help you.
I guarantee the answer that’s meant to find you, not to mention when you need to hear the most, will find you. Spirit see’s your every move and knows your heart’s desires. Make no mistake it’s one of the most beautiful things in the world and is why it’s so important to stay connected with our divinity. Everyone is here with purpose and expansion is the name of the game.
Love and Light
