In this article I will reveal a simple yet powerful grounding exercise.
But why would you need a grounding exercise? Because it will help you
get connected with your center. Your center is that thing you need in
difficult times. Your center will be there to help you overcome any
problem that arises. You must not lose your center. Instead, you must
stay connected with it at all times. The grounding exercise I am
revealing here will create a deep connection with your inner self and
your center. Let's begin..
If you don't succeed in performing the exercise well then don't be
disappointed. These things take time. Keep trying and give time to
yourself.
You will also need a notebook to take notes. This will help you perform
the grounding exercise better and clearly understand the process.
Finally, you will need consistency. You must repeat the exercise for at
least 10 minutes a day. If you meet these simple yet important
requirements then you are ready to perform the exercise. Here it is..
Go to your private space and sit in a comfortable position (you can try
the common cross-legged posture) and put some soft music on.
Now you will need all your visualization skills. First you must see
yourself in the center of a flower. The flower is colorful, lovely and
open. It's petals lay around you. Now see the petals rise one by one.
Imagine pure light coming from an outside source and filling the space,
you, the petals, the whole flower. Now see yourself being one with the
flower (you are the bud) and sinking into the blossom. The flower is now
closed. Feel the peace around you. Think what you have just created and
feel happy and one with your center. Try to feel your heart beating.
Determine the beating pace. Stay there for a while, these moments are
precious. This is the first and most important part of the exercise!
Very simple but powerful..
One issue that will likely arise is the presence of random thoughts that
will try to distract you. Don't get discouraged and keep clearing your
mind until you think nothing but your center or the images of the flower
and you becoming one with it.
When you are ready see the blossom unfold slowly. All its petals are
opening one by one until you find yourself in the center of the blossom
again..
Before you finish, remember to take some notes of your thoughts and
feelings that you believe are worth mentioning. At times it would be
useful to look at your notebook to recall the feelings of the past and
observe your progress.
The exercise presented will work even for amateurs but the more you
perform it, the better the results and the level of understanding of
what is going on around you.
