Labradorite Day 4 August 11, 2016

Why yes.. Thank you for asking… why yes I did! I started my day with a grounding exercise and a muddled meditation with my Labradorite. I took one of my palm stone Labradorite pieces with me around town today. It went shopping, to work, and played in my pocket all around home while I worked here. I know it kept me out of trouble with a few interactions I had with the public today. The fixed sewing machine that they forgot to call me about (2 weeks ago!) Lots of smiles and my baby is back home. I love Labradorite!!!!!!!!

Grounding

I have a feeling that there are a few of you out there asking what is grounding? Why, it is the act of bringing your soul into your physical body to be here on Earth and functioning within this plane. You ever feel flighty? Unable to concentrate on what is happening in front of you? Forget to pay the bills and are not sure what day it is? If you are not losing your memory then you are UNGROUNDED.

How should you fix that? I know of a few ways and want to share one of them with you today. This first is to learn an easy exercise very close to a mini mediation to connect you to the Earth. I want you to find a place to stand or sit comfortably. Laying down the first few times can be a bit challenging for the visualization, so sit or stand please.

Please close your eyes and bring your awareness to your heart chakra. Feel the peace that is possible in the center of your heart. Make an upper and lower part to your heart chakra. Now drop a cord or root down from your heart chakra through your your solar plexus chakra.. down to your sacral chakra….. through the root chakra…. down into the floor. Now take this cord through your earth star chakra and into the Earth. This cord is going to break it’s way through soil, bedrock, mantel… straight to the center of the Earth. There is something there calling to you. Whether this is a stone/crystal/the actual center, this is where you are going to wrap this cord around. You wrap it so tightly that it is impossible to undo and you are the only one that can ever undo it.

Once you have securely wrapped the cord to your anchor in the center of the Earth, I want you to feel the energies that are surrounding you. For many, this is the feeling of Goddess, Gaia. This can feel very nurturing, loving, peaceful. When you are ready you are going to bring your consciousness and this energy back up the cord with you.

You will move away from the center of the Earth, bringing the love and nurturing with you. You bring this back through the mantel, into the bedrock, into the soil, into your earth star chakra. As you bring this energy into the soles of your feet, feel the energies of the Earth enter your body. Let is fill your feet, move up into your legs. It rises into your pelvis and fills your body past your sacral and then solar plexus chakra. Finally the energies fill the bottom of your lungs and rise until you stop them at your lower heart. Feel how the lower part of your body feels with this energy.

Focusing back on your heart, you are going to take a cord the opposite way now. Take this cord from your upper heart through your throat chakra, through your crown chakra. It is going to pass though the roof above you and leave our atmosphere. This cord is going to travel past the moon, the sun, the planets, on its way out into the galaxy. I want you to find whatever Creator/Universal energy is to you. For me it is a beautiful silver cloud in space. When you get there, place your cord deep inside this representation of Creator.

Again, take a moment to feel these energies. They are different than the Earth’s energy. For many, this is a feeling of unconditional love and blessing, a complete peace they may have never felt before. When you are ready, bring this energy along with your consciousness back along your cord. You are going to bring this energy back through the galaxy, past the planets, the sun, the moon…. into our atmosphere. Your consciousness and the energy is going to pass through the roof and into your crown chakra, filling the top of your head and sliding down into your jaw, mouth, and ears. Then into your throat and down your shoulders. Finally it fills your arms and upper chest to your heart chakra. Stop the energy in your higher heart.

Feel how the upper part of your body feels with this Universal energy. Compare it to the Earth energies of your lower body. Now beginning in your heart, let the energies begin to mix and swirl. Let that mixing and swirling continue out from your heart into your abdomen, upper chest, your pelvis, your arms and shoulders, your legs, your head. These mixing energies fill every cell of your body until you cannot hold it all. It bursts out the ends of your fingers and toes, your hair cannot contain it. It bursts out of every cell in your body until these energies fill your aura. You can then turn these energies into protection (a topic for another day).

But, you are now GROUNDED….. CONNECTED….. FILLED….. and ready to turn this into PROTECTION.

This is an exercise that I have been doing for over 10 years. At first I started in the shower every morning. It would take me anywhere from 10-15 minutes to complete depending on how focused I was. By doing it every day, at the end of a month it was taking me about 1 minute. At this point in my practice, it is as fast as I can say the four words….. GROUND…. CONNECT….. FILL….. PROTECT.

I believe that I read most of this exercise in Judy Hall’s book The Art of Psychic Protection. It is a great book and came into my life at a really critical moment. Pick it up if you get the chance.

Hope you had a great day with your labradorite. Feel free to share how labradorite worked for you today either as a comment on today’s post or on Facebook!
