Grounding yourself

[Araz]

Hi All

I would be very interested to know how you all ground yourself.

I know once I have taken the energy from a client which has caused me to be very tired for quite some time until I had some reflexology done and then was balanced.

At the weekend I was treating my s-i-l who had gas build up - she is under a lot of stress at the moment and her stomach/intestine area was very crunchy. However, when I finished on her, i started having stomach pains and gas build up - a coincidence maybe?

Normally I don;t have any effects and usually when I am finishing a client I imagine that my hands are through a glass wall therefore the energy is not coming back to me and my feet are always flat on my carpet.

All help appreciated - it might even answer some of my other questions

HI

It seems a little bit unusual for you to be taking energy from your client - I assume you are doing Reiki treatments? But I always ground myself with a piece of Hematite which I either just hold or place at the base of my spine. Never fails!!

Possibly being more Pagan than you both, I go outside, and stand near my honeysuckle, and just left the Energy drain back to Earth,in a slow carefully controlledmanner. If its too wet or cold,I stand on a wooden floor indoors.
Also something starchy to eat helps.

Hi Claire

I am doing Indian Head Massage and Reflexology - at the end of the treatment in IHM I try and balance the chakras and also do a balancing treatment for the reflexology as well

hello rakhee
i joined the forum specially to reply to your request. i was concerned to read that you only ground yourself after you give treatment. you should ground yourself before every treatment and you should activate a shield as well, particularly as you are now integrating your energy with your client's energy and taking on their symptoms.
this does happen if you are not grounded and protected.
grounding is something that takes pratice to do and probably should be taught to you on a one to one basis, i would be reluctant to give you instructions here. good luck with this.

Hello Rakhee

Nice to meet you, I had my Reiki 1 a month ago, and as everyone does I experimented on friends boy what a mistake, I was getting really bad headaches my RM said I was not grounding myself properly.
So I took her advice imagined roots growing out of my feet and going down into the earth, also this might sound silly but it works for me, I put 2 Black Obsidian crystals in between my toes(NO MORE HEADACHES) it is a good job my friends are to relaxed to notice me trying to keep them there they would think I have gone mad.

Love and light

I've never protected myself, but after asking for advice here on HP, I did start grounding myself (wearing red socks LOL). Iused to feel a bit away with the fairies when doing Reiki to begin with, and I probably should have used the lower chakra evergies more - I didn't know. Astime has gone on, I've become more grounded generally. I use Quantum Touch techniques of drawing up from the floor now as well as in through the crown chakra - the energies pass through all my chakras.
Personally I don't believe in negative energies or positive energies - it's all the same stuff just expressed differently in different people. I've treated people with terminal cancer adn have felt cleansed and refreshed afterwards.
I truly believe I can't be affected by anybody's energies.
This works for me - I always feel energised by giving treatments.
