Grounding

[Akira]

Over the years grounding has been a tricky one for me.

I went to see the healer priest the other day and he said to me that due to being operated on so many times when I was a child that there may be difficulties for me with grounding. He said that many babies that were operated on would have become acclimatised to obe's. I am not sure about this, however this is the information I have and what I have to work with.

I have tried so many different techniques yet nothing seems to work and I am at my wits end!!!

Has anyone got any suggestions?

How did the healer priest find out you have had numerous operations?

I was talking about grounding and the fact that I had trouble. He brought up that often children who had been operated on find this... It's that simple.

Grounding has a lot to do with really wanting to be here, on this planet.
It is possible that a surgery as a baby scared you so much on a deep level that you decided that you didn't want to be here or weren't safe here.
Then it's very difficult to get grounded, you'd have to work on that part of nurturing your inner baby into feeling safe.
Surgery means hospital stay, right, so more un-safety, all away from the safety of mom.
So it could be that you decided you didn't want to be here, or weren't safe here, and hold that as a belief. This is in the subconscious.

If any of this resonates I'd check the state of my inner baby, see what comes up there.
You can also go into your root chakra and see what's there. Possibly Solar Plexus too.

Thank you for this hunni - it is good information.
I have started a new exercise today that seems to be working a little bit better than the ones that I have tried previously.

The inner baby stuff is golden - big thanks. I have done inner child work - however I have never thought to connect to the inner baby. When I connect the dots I am sure that I will be able to ground more. Interestingly, you know I was telling you I bought all those crystals in the crystal section?

Well I only bought that because I thought they looked pretty - they were all grounding crystals - cool huh

Your very welcome. And inner child work also comes in layers so you usually have to work on it more than once. Plus there's inner baby, inner toddler, schoolchild, teenager and so on. It's not just one thing as we have experienced many more problems at different ages, at different places and so on.

The baby part is often very important as this is the age we don't consciously remember -and as such likely forgotten to look at-, yet any trauma suffered did leave its mark. More than any other maybe even as it's our very first impressions on this world.
Sometimes you even have to go back as far as in the womb!

In any case, hope it'll help!

And the crystals is wonderful! We intuitively go for what we need, don't we?!

Will definitely get on this - thank you

I find grounding is frequently misunderstood. What are you trying to do and why and what do you think the purpose of grounding is?

I know what grounding is and I know why I need it. Did you read my OP?

Yes I did. It didn't tell me whether you think the purpose of grounding is to release energy or to receive energy or to connect with the physical earth or to connect with Gaia or to anchor yourself or to stabilise your energy or to acknowledge your place in the universe.....all possible interpretations, some of which contradict each other and all of which have different underlying principles and therefore different techniques.
