We seem to be going through a huge energetic shift at the moment, so grounding is becoming more and more important. Also, grounding repeatedly, even when you think you have done it is becoming more and more necessary. So, even if you think you are connected to the Earth because you completed your usual routine, do check from time to time during the day to make sure you are still safe and secure.
And, to enable you to ensure your connection is stable and you are deeply rooted in the Earth, you may find that clearing the energetic pathways between your base chakra and your feet chakras will help.
Some people ground by extending their prana tube (or central channel) from the base chakra and they visualise it going down into the earth. This does work extremely well, but it only grounds energy. It is better to actually include your physical body in your grounding exercises to enhance the whole of your connection to the Earth – on all levels. And this will work more efficiently if you clear the energy pathway from your base chakra to your feet chakras before you start.
After all, you can visualise all the roots you like coming out of your feet and going down into the earth, but if the system above your feet is blocked, there won’t be much energy actually flowing down into your roots to ground you! Cleaning this section of your system will allow the energy from the base chakra to flow without being interrupted by any blockages you have between there and your feet. Most of us have something, especially in the knees. The knee is connected to fear of moving forward and flexibility and quite a few people are having trouble with both these things at the moment.
So, how do you do this? You will need a double terminated clear quartz – this will have a point at both ends. It is the most efficient and effective way to do this exercise because the stone will draw any negative energy its finds in your legs into its crystalline matrix through both points. It will then transmute it within the matrix and send the positive energy straight back out again to fill the space left by the blockage that has just been cleared. Clever stuff really!
However, if you only have a single terminated quartz, it will still work, but probably not a quickly and you must always ensure the point is facing down to your feet while you are working. This directs the energy in the direction you need it to go – straight down into the Earth. If you are working with a double terminated, you should also have the crystal lying vertically along your leg, so it does the same thing.
You start by cleansing your base chakra, so your energy is ready to flow through it and run down the system into the ground. There are many ways to do this and you know the best way for you, so run with it! If you don’t, you can ask a helper or guide to do it for you, you can use SHK if you are attuned to Reiki, or you can use a base chakra stone, placing it on the chakra with the clear intention that you want to cleanse the vortex completely with the crystalline energy. When you feel the chakra cleanse is complete you can move on to the rest of the exercise.
The next thing to do is to focus your intention for the exercise. All quartz is empowered by thought forms – that is to say, the thought you direct – lovingly and gratefully please – towards your crystal will encourage it to do the work with you. It is always a co-creation when you work with a crystal, with both of you working together towards a common goal. You should ask your crystal to help you clear the energetic pathway between your base chakra and your feet chakras so you can enhance your ability to ground firmly in the Earth.
And, then you start to work with your crystal, doing one leg at a time, putting the crystal all along your leg in the following places.
Leave the crystal on each position for as long as you need to clear any blockages you find there.
- The top of the thigh between the base chakra and the thigh chakra
- The lower part of the thigh between the thigh chakra and the knee chakra
- The knee (in the middle of the knee cap) to clear both the knee itself and the knee chakra
- The middle of the shin
- The ankle – with the crystal directed down from the ankle bone towards the foot chakra in the middle of the arch of the foot.
- Under the foot to clear and activate the foot chakra
- Repeat with the other leg
- Thank your crystal and intend to ground and see how much easier it is to do now the energy pathway is clear.
I hope that helps you! It always helps me!
Bright Blessings!
