A grounding exercise is essential before diving into psychic practices, as it helps connect you to the present moment, stabilizes your energy, and creates a solid foundation for intuitive work.

Here’s a guided grounding exercise for you to use before exploring your psychic abilities:

Grounding Exercise: The Tree of Light

Objective:

To establish a deep connection with the Earth, calm the mind, and balance your energy before engaging in psychic or intuitive practices.

Duration:

5-10 minutes

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Find a Comfortable Space

Sit comfortably in a chair or on the floor, with your spine straight and feet flat on the ground (if sitting in a chair) or crossed (if sitting on the floor).
Rest your hands gently in your lap or on your knees, palms facing up in a receptive position.
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, inhaling deeply through your nose and exhaling slowly through your mouth.

2. Focus on Your Breath

Bring your attention to your breath. As you inhale, feel the air filling your lungs, expanding your belly.
As you exhale, imagine any tension or stress leaving your body with your breath.
Continue this deep breathing for a few moments, allowing yourself to become fully present in your body.

3. Visualize Roots Growing from Your Body

Imagine roots growing from the soles of your feet and from the base of your spine (your root chakra).
See these roots penetrating deep into the Earth, winding through layers of soil, rock, and mineral.
With every breath, visualize the roots growing deeper and stronger, anchoring you to the Earth’s core.

4. Feel the Earth’s Energy

Once your roots are deeply embedded, imagine that you are drawing up energy from the Earth’s core. Feel this energy as warm, nurturing, and stabilizing.
As you inhale, visualize this Earth energy rising up through your roots, filling your feet, legs, and entire body with a sense of grounding and calm.
Let this energy flow freely, removing any stagnant or negative energy from your body, replacing it with the Earth’s healing strength.

5. Visualize Yourself as a Tree of Light

Now, imagine yourself as a great tree. Your roots are firmly grounded in the Earth, and your spine is the trunk of the tree, strong and stable.
Visualize branches growing from the top of your head, reaching toward the sky.
As you breathe in, imagine drawing down light and energy from the cosmos, through your crown chakra (top of your head), and into your body.
Feel the light from above merging with the Earth energy, balancing and harmonizing you. Your entire body is now a channel of grounded light, deeply rooted in the Earth while connected to the Universe.

6. Release and Center

Take a few more deep breaths and feel this balance of Earth and cosmic energy flowing through you.
As you exhale, release any residual tension or distractions, letting them dissolve into the Earth through your roots.
Say to yourself (mentally or out loud): "I am grounded, centered, and fully present."
When you feel ready, gently bring your awareness back to the room. Wiggle your toes and fingers, and slowly open your eyes.

7. Post-Exercise Reflection

Take a moment to notice how you feel. Grounded? Clear? Balanced?
Stay seated for a few moments, soaking in the calm energy.
You are now ready to begin your psychic practices from a place of stability and connection.

Tips for Enhanced Grounding:

You can perform this exercise outside, barefoot on the ground, to enhance the feeling of connection with the Earth.
Use this grounding exercise before every psychic or intuitive practice to ensure that your energy is balanced and you are fully present.
If at any point during your psychic practices you feel scattered or overwhelmed, pause and repeat this grounding visualization to regain your focus.

This grounding exercise serves as an anchor, helping you feel stable and rooted before accessing higher realms of intuition and psychic awareness. It's an essential practice that can be returned to any time you need to feel centred or clear-headed.
