Here's a few out of the many that exist.

 

1. Stand in wet grass with bare feet.

 

2. do the Gaits, and then spread K-1 on both feet

 

3. Do Connecting Between Heaven and Earth

 

4. Do the TFT 3 step centering drill, as taught by Diepold

 

Group.

 

What are some other ways to reconnect with the earth?

the size of a silver dollar and made out of carbon steel. Works real

well and easy to carry.

There is a whole document on grounding techniques at the Energy Medicine

Handout Bank:

GROUNDING TECHNIQUES C 2005 Donna Eden & David Feinstein, Ph.D.

http://www.energymed.org/hbank/handouts/grounding_techniques.htm

 

My favorites are spooning the feet and massaging my gaits and K1. Actually,

I love any foot massage

 

There are also some stones that help with grounding like hematite - I have

friends that wear them for that purpose.

 

Many blessings,

There’s always hematite. Also many flower essences can not

only help with grounding, but help clear what is keeping someone from

successfully “touching the earth”. There’s the method Ellen

taught opening the bottom of the feet at the instep. I don’t have my

notes handy to describe it. She called it sonar something. Many qigong moves

focus on grounding, and an excellent book on the topic is Mantak Chia’s

Iron Shirt Chi Kung I. Just visualizing roots extending down through the perineum

and the bottoms of the feet deep into the earth is helpful. Hugging a tree, and

circulating the energy between oneself and the tree. Checking the bladder, gall

bladder and stomach meridians and their source points – making sure there

is no irregular energy in them.

 

Grounding is sometimes difficult if most of one’s energy

is in the head. Thus working the belt flow at the neck, doing neck massage,

releasing tension in the neck and shoulders, working all the neurolymphatics

and the neurovasculars can all be helpful.

 

Thinking of the dan tien – the area 2 fingers below the

navel and deep within the body – as the center rather than the head will

open the lower chakras and help one connect  energetically to the ground. Chakra

clearing especially in the lower chakras is often helpful – and at the

back as well as the front of the body.

 

There’s more, of course, but that’s a good start.

And for those who were at Donna’s recent training, tracing

the diamond connections would also be grounding.

I love walking barefoot in the grass, not necessarily wet, though. It

feels so healing. The stainless steel spoon does usually feel very

good. Sometimes even walking barefoot in the house feels good too.

There is just something about the feet with no shoes or socks that

feels so freeing.

 

My 2 Kahuna Energy Disks are rarely out of my pockets. Once I thought I

had lost a disk and I really scoured around to find it.

 

I have some rocks from years ago when I studied with a Peruvian shaman.

They are my friends and my feet love it when I rub one of them across

the bottoms including the K1 area.

 

There is a salt water beach near me and occasionally I will splash in

the quiet waves of the bay.

1) Creating a grounding vortex, and stepping into it.

 

2) While laying down, have a helper create a vortex off your feet.

(see Donna Eden's Energy Medicine for Women DVD)

 

3) I've been experimenting with running (jogging really) with my eyes

closed, so I can feel what happens to my energy as I lift off, and

then reconnect to the ground....

 

4) Also, pulling your energy down the side of your body, down your

legs and off your feet. (great for fire types, who tend to flare out

the tops of their heads..)

 

5) SPIN glass crystals or magnets off your toes.

 

6) Hold spleen and kidney sedating points.

 

7)Back up against a strong powerful tree. Mentally connect your roots

to its roots.

 

8) After spooning and spreading the gaits, don't forget to spread

around your ankles. Lots of kidney, spleen and liver points, and

energy gets congested in the ankles, too.

 

Advanced: weave kidney and liver energy. I don't really understand

the drill yet, but Sandy Wand did it, and it was super powerful.

Two more:

 

1) Hook up: navel to power point (the hollow where you head meets the

back of your neck)Breathe

 

2) Stand with soft knees (balanced position) and place one hand

across your abdomen, and the other hand across your sacrum (lower

back opposite your abdomen) Breathe deeply and center. Pulse the

energy between your hands. Breathe.

Food!

 

Certain foods can be very grounding.

 

A friend was explaining how she was doing several of the energy

medicine grounding exercises and they stopped working for her for

some reason. She had recently switched to a vegetatian diet and

someone suggested that she increase her protein. Beans & rice and

cheeses weren't enough though, so she had some eggs and that

immediately got her grounded. It needed to be animal protein.

 

Visualizig myself being rooted into the earth with big long roots

and being around my horses are two of my favorite and easy ways.

Yup - food. That's how I gained about 30 lbs!! (flying around, all

stressed out)

 

A shrink I knew years ago, said that's why so many psychics are fat

-- need food to ground themselves....

I do so dislike his books...

 

....but I also have them all because of great stuff in them.

 

I'm still not sure why I have that dislike...

 

....but I do appreciate you sharing how you use his methods.

 

John M. La Tourrette, PhD

PS I just thought about it. I think I dislike him because he is not

what I " believe " is a martial artist.

For

some reason about every 4th message from this list ends up in my

junk folder, including some I myself have written J.

 

Doc, have you ever met Mantak Chia? He’s surely one of a

kind. I’ve had a fantasy of having Mantak Chia, Kam Yuen, and Tom Tam together

on a panel of some sort. All three are very innovative qigong masters who’ve

gone on to develop their own approach to healing, have brought pearls of wisdom

to large numbers of Westerners, and share in a very open-hearted generous

manner. They have all integrated Western anatomy and physiology with their

qigong background and teach in a very integrated manner, and I am fortunate to

have been able to study with all of them. However, I’m not sure how much tolerance

they would have for each other. Each of them is a really unique and individual character.

 

 

Thanks for your sharing your honest reaction. You point out,

albeit indirectly, the importance of separating content from personality ---

part of not taking one’s life personally.

Nope.

 

I do have an audio series by him.

 

I figured if I couldn't read him, maybe listening???

 

But it is just as bad for me as was/is his writing.

 

I do know that Dr. Yang talks good about him...

 

....which I think is the reason I continually force myself to study

Mantak's materials.

 

In fact, last week I noticed he has a book out that I didn't have, so

I bought it...thumbed through it...noticed what I appreciated and

didn't appreciate...then put in on the " study " pile.
