The Importance of Grounding
When we perform magical workings we are tapping into the universal energy and making it our own personal energy. In so doing this we tend to pick up negative enrgies as well as more energy than we actually need. Grounding enables you too return that energy back into the universal energy that it originally came from. I suggest that people get into the habit of grounding after they have done any form of spellwork and even after meditating.
Now there are various techniques to grounding and I’m sure everyone will have their own preferences, I will state mine.
Lie on the floor on your back with palms facing upwards and index fingers touching thumbs. Take a few moments to steady your breathing and think to yourself your intent of dispelling negative and excess energy. Visualise Roots coming from the base of your spine and extending deep into the earth, you are connected to the the earth through these Roots. Feel the excess energy collect in the pit of your stomach and travel down into the earth via the Roots. Spend as long as you feel necessary doing this. I allways tap the ground with my left palm 3 times when I have finished. Don’t ask me why – it’s just something I’ve allways done.

I have done that way of grounding before. But if you have a object of power make sure you find it's twin. Like I have two power crystals one is white and one is black. They never want to leave each other side cause I will get all dizzy if I move them to far apart. My white crystal is my source and helper of drawing in energy and my black crystal is my grounding crystal. It helps me try it with objects that never like to leave each other.

I visualise myself sitting up against a tree in a forest or a glade - feeling the earth below me and the tree behind me and the life in it all - and then see roots coming from me into the tree and into the ground, drawing that life back up into me, and seeing the golden light from the ground infusing me with light and washing away all the black pools of negativity. Then I send the golden light back down the roots into the ground.

Well that is what trial and error is for. You really can't do anything wrong. It is all what works out for you in the end. So trying things and it coming out wrong is not a bad thing.

Thanks for posting this. I have such a hard time grounding. I was thinking of getting hematite jewelery. Is there a stone that works better for grounding than hematite? I don't know where my metaphysical gemstone book is.

Hematite is great for grounding.
I prefer more physical techniques than visualization- you want to bring energy down so maybe use your body not your mind- squats, lunges, long walks, laying on the earth, tree hugging, digging in the dirt, anything out in nature, salt baths, eat nourishing meals, drinking hot tea slowly.
