Grounding and CenteringGrounding
is a way of connecting the witch in you back to where you belong, the
Earth. It's actually very simple to ground yourself, bring yourself
back down to earth. You simply sit as close to the ground as possible…
the floor, the ground, a tree stump if one is handy. Relax your body
and close your eyes. Slowly take 3 very deep breathes. As you let them
out, imagine your body is a tree and the part of your body touching
closest to the ground beginning to take root. Feel your roots reaching
down into the rich soil of the earth, reaching far below. Allow
yourself some time to meditate; enjoying the connection you have with
the Earth.
Centering allows you to feel at one with the
Universe. In your meditation stance, close your eyes and take a few
deep breaths. Imagine your energy is merging with everything around
you. Allow the sights and sounds around you to pass through you, like
you are floating on a magickal pool. Concentrate on your solar plexus
area. Imagine a great white light starting there, spreading out
slightly with each breath you expel. When it reaches outside of your
body allow yourself to feel at one with the Universe. You are now ready
to begin any ritual or magick.
