Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Reiki Grounding It is said and believed that Reiki can never harm anyone. This is absolutely true because Reiki seeks to cure problems, not create them. But then, you do need grounding, in other terms, protection in Reiki. It is important not only for the recipient but also for the practitioner - the person who is using energy to heal others. While doing Reiki, it is necessary to be grounded, given that when the practitioner gives a treatment, he becomes prone to the energy field of the patient. To avoid this, the practitioner is required to shield himself. In this manner, he can protect and prevent his body from getting the problems of the recipient. Both the practitioner and the patient are prevented from each other's unwanted energy by Grounding or Shielding. The shield made by this process is permeable, which lets the healing energy pass through it. Thus, it doesn't affect the healing process and it can be continued without any problem. The grounding works like a sieve, as it simply removes the unnecessary energy. After every treatment, the Reiki practitioner 'seals' the recipient's aura and asks the Almighty to remove the 'footprints' from aura of both the recipient and himself. Then, he asks the Almighty to convert the 'footprints' into positive energy or send them to where they belong. Whenever a practitioner finds his energy system vulnerable, he always grounds and shields himself. If a practitioner wants to ground or shield himself, he needs to imagine that his developed roots, growing out of base chakra, are rooted deep into the earth. He should allow his awareness to descend to the ground with the roots till he feels physically heavier. And then, he must feel as if he is rooted down the earth. At this point of time, if he feels like releasing his negative energy, he can do it with his roots and the earth will convert it into positive energy. In case he requires extra energy, he can obtain it from the earth. While doing this, he should take the energy through the roots and envision the energy surfacing from the crown chakra and showering back again. During the whole process, the practitioner's consciousness should be grounded in the earth, even at the time he is imagining energy is going up in his body. After doing the treatment, he must close his chakras, since he might be prone to negative energy with open chakras. He should imagine that chakras are closing, using any imagery. Now, he must cross his arms across the chest and assure himself that his boundaries are tough. Following the below given physical activities can also help the practitioner to ground and shield himself. Tapping the crown of head Tapping the soles of feet Putting head to the ground Eating something Application of Reiki, by placing hands near ankles Application of Reiki to the Root Chakra, since this chakra connects to the earth Walking barefoot -- " Life is the sum of all your choices.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hi Cheryl, I too noticed that I feel better in water, even if it's just in the shower. I'm so sensitive right now perhaps I need to live in a rain forest., LOL Estelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hi, Â I notice that I always feel better when I am in water, such as a swimming pool. I have so much more energy there than outside the water. Does this have anything to do with grounding? Â Also, I seem to feel better if I sleep on the floor with just a few pillows under me, even better than on an air mattress. Is this caused by grounding or how can you explain this? Â Has anybody else noticed anything similar to this? Â Any feedback well appreciated. Â Thanks, Â Cheryl From: Latifah T <zzzapit@...> Subject: Grounding Date: Thursday, December 10, 2009, 10:13 AM Â Hello Estelle, Your post reminded me of several things. Through Next-Up.org I have received photos of an ES sanctuary in France (called The White Zone). In one of the photos they showed someone at an outdoor stone fountain with their hands under the water coming out of the spigot, and their bare feet standing in a puddle of water on stone. They called it " discharge " , as in discharging the excess electrical energy. The earth tether mattress pads will ground you as well, and you are sleeping on them for 7-9 hours. Cordless phones are often just as harmful as cell phones. Especially if it is a DECT phone. Someone in this group posted a reference to www.rewire.me. Check it out, and find the picture of Dacre, a woman in the UK who is ES. She wears a beekeepers regalia when she is out of her protected apartment to fend off emf. She doesn't need it in her apt. because she has painted the walls with a protective shielding paint. Where can I get these garments? Anyone know the specific fabric content necessary to shield? I know www.lessemf. com has some fabric, but I haven't checked lately to see if they have veiled headgear. Lightly, Lily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative ions are emitted from water and plants to name a few and make us feel good. While positive ions which can be produced by a number of things one of them being man made electronics can make us feel depressed and with low energy. <<<<Also, I seem to feel better if I sleep on the floor with just a few pillows under me, even better than on an air mattress. Is this caused by grounding or how can you explain this?>>> A plastic mattress can produce some static electricity which ive always found bothersome, also a plastic mattress is an insultaor so if your floor has some conductive connection to the ground the mattress will be impeding it. Spring mattreses are also bad though the springs can have a magnetic fields and the springs are said to distort the earths natural magnetic field. I personally sleep on a 100% natural latex mattress and I did feel a nice difference over sleeping on a spring one. A cheap futton also works nicely. -Cristian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hi Estelle,  Thanks for your quick reply. Good to know that I am not alone with this feeling. Please let me know if you figure out what causes this reaction to water. At least it is something positive - that is great news.  I think a rain forest would do me good too. I always feel better when I can sleep outside - safety and weather conditions permitting is not usual for me. Rare chance I have the opportunity.  Cheryl From: e4health@... <e4health@...> Subject: Re: Grounding Date: Thursday, December 10, 2009, 11:51 AM  Hi Cheryl, I too noticed that I feel better in water, even if it's just in the shower.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hi Cristian,  Thank you for the info. It makes sense to me and I will keep your suggestion in mind. I will go back to sleeping on the pillows and see what happens. I never thought an air mattress could be harmful as I was avoiding springs which I knew was best to avoid if possible.  Cheryl From: cris_aov <cris_aov@...> Subject: Re: Grounding Date: Thursday, December 10, 2009, 12:08 PM  >>>>I notice that I always feel better when I am in water, such as a swimming pool.
