Crystal help ground you(your experience)

[anthony c]

Hi all and a Merry Christmas to you all tomorrow!!!!

I am curious, has a Crystal help ground you and what are the benefits you experienced from being grounded?? I have read allot of people suggesting crystals for grounding but never heard of someone that got grounded from a crystal and if it did, did really is so good to be grounded?

I would love to hear your grounded experience??

Does grounding really help for Anxiety, fear and concentration?

Thanks in advance

Grounding absolutely helps for those, and I've had a couple of experiences with crystals who helped ground me. It's an incredible feeling that I pursue everyday, though admittedly I personally have had more success with other methods than crystals.
Grounding is fantastic, especially for those like us who are anxious; for me it helps me think more clearly, expands my awareness, helps me experience the world through my senses more easily, and just generally makes me feel safe, connected, and a part of the world.

I believe the crystals I've had success grounding with are rose quartz (by helping me feel emotionally supported), moldavite (not sure why), and possibly sunstone for sacral chakra support (which involves personal power). Other than crystals I've had a lot of success with calcite concretions known as Fairy Stones. I use them each time I go on a Journey/meditation, which is every few days. I feel a sense of earthy balance with them, some kind of energy shift that is too subtle for me to pin down but just feels correct.

About to head over to my dad's for Christmas. But I'll try to get back with you tonight.

If crystals aren't working for you, then you can check out the links to my blog listed below. But another thing that you might want to try is taking some black tourmaline and placing it about 2 inches below your navel.

Thanks allot Mark.

Crystals i don't feel them work but it's not to say they don't. My problem was i just use a crystal for like 2 days and then expects them to work and move on the another but i have found the discipline to wear them for weeks and even months so maybe they would work now.

I just wanted to know if grounding is really good and if it is good i can see how it would really benefit me cause i am always day dreaming and in my head(allot of thoughts) and i think i want to escape the now cause i think it's not good for me but i think being in the now would def benefit me if it makes any sense.

Also want to know some people's experience of grounding and how it feels.

Will check out your blog and thanks for your time my friend

Have a Merry Christmas!!!

"God is Circle whose Center leads to Everywhere, and whose Circumference leads to Nowhere." - Voltaire

For me, the "Now" represents a (momentary) state of mind which is experienced as time dissolving into the present. In that state of mind, there is a dissolving of mental fluctations (movements) and cyclical patterns of thoughts and behavior. I use the word "momentary" for the reason that our intentions have to be directed towards an area that represents our Center or helps us to be able to experience our center. Where there is a Center, there is momentary perception of timelessness, and the mind becomes still. Once we locate our Center, our Union with it represents our gathering of that experience (or prayer), so that we can bring it back into our own experience of time in order to become transformed by the whole experience.

The word "grounding" implies an absence of negative emotions such as insecurity and fear as well as a particular way for keeping the body in close contact with the Earth. These negative emotions are partly the result of memory (Karma), but are also a result of time bound consciousness. That's because the mind is caught up in the movennt of the cycles (of time), so is unable to remain still. Once the mind becomes still, we feel as if we have more of a choice as to whether or not we want to indulge ourselves in negative emotions, whereas when the mind is not still, we might feel as if we have no choice.

Hello


Here is the technique I teach for grounding and some of the crystals I use for grounding in workshops. The stone becomes the seed as I have found that for some to make that connection something has to be felt in the hand to make it real for further visualizations.



My experience with grounding is that it is now something I just do without thought. As one that can Astral Travel freely without efforts or thought I had to learn to ground to keep me more present.


I learned this tool when I was in high school it was one that and English Literature teacher would use for his class. Not with crystals though that information came much later to me.



I found that just grounding with roots into the Earth did not work for me as I can so freely travel out so I would simply deroot and go. So in putting down the roots and then having the branches reach out the teacher explained that we were free to pick up information.

Simple one is to imagine a seed in your hand and to have it grow.
Take a seed
Place it in the ground
Water the seed
Feel a tiny root shoot start to grow into the ground
Feel more and more roots grow into the ground
Feeling that connection to the Earth
Feel the Sun on the ground
Feel a tiny shoot pressing up through the ground

The roots grow down and connect to the Earth

The shoot grows up into the Sunlight
Slowly you grow a tree, the trunk, the branches and leaves
The roots grow strong to hold you to the Earth
The branches reach up and out into the Sunlight
You are grounded but free to explore

Thanks for the info Lynn.

in the early '90s I remember the room spinning from drinking too much...
I was young and stupid...a 4 pound smokey quartz took that away...
I experimented with my eyes open and closed...it never failed.
Wow. I was very impressed.
