GCCP: Grounding, Centering, Connecting, Protecting

GCCP-  Ground, Centre, Connect, Protect your energy

Exercise: Feeling The Flow of Your Energy

Place your hands palm to palm. Briskly rub your hands together. Now, slowly begin to move them apart. As you do this, focus on the sensations in your palms.  Do you feel a tingling? A heat? A slight pressure? If not, try rubbing your hands together again and closing your eyes, to filter out distractions.  When you feel something, slowly, move your hands apart to see how long you can maintain the recognition of the physical sensations.

Congratulations! You have experienced the first step towards working with your personal energies. Don't be alarmed or discouraged if you felt little or nothing the first time. Many people have to practice for quite some time before they have discernible, physical sensations.

Grounding- Close your eyes and imagine strong energy roots coming from your feet down into the earth, connecting you with nature and grounding you. Push the roots deep down into the centre of the earth. Allow the beautiful earthy energy to travel back up through the roots to fill your entire body with all the valuable nutrients and power from nature. Tell yourself “I am grounded”.

Centering- Now bring your attention to your solar plexus chakra, just above your abdomen. Visualise the little golden yellow whirlpool of this chakra  now acting as a magnet to pull all your scattered energies from the day back to you. Visualise your aura, the energy field emanating out from you,  being pulled in closer to your physical body. Bring it in nice and close and tell yourself  “I bring all my energy back to me”.

Connecting- Now bring your attention to your forehead, and imagine there is a closed eyelid just like your physical eyes. This is your Third Eye. Visualise this eyelid opening just the same way as your physical eyes do. Visualise the deep blue chakra here spinning and pulling in all the information you need into your Third Eye. Tell yourself “Everything I need to know is revealed to me”.

Now bring your attention to the top of your head, your crown chakra- a lovely little violet light spinning just above your head.  Think about where you believe to be the centre of the universe, source, God, whatever you perceive it to be. From that centre visualise a strong pillar of bright white light coming down into your crown chakra (the top of your head), imagine it pouring down into your head filling you with fresh energy. Tell yourself “I am connected to the Divine”

(NB- Remember to close down the Chakras and Third Eye if overwhelmed and at night).

Protecting- Now visualise your aura, your energy field that is emanating from your body.  Surround your aura in a shield of light, a deep blue, strong shield of light. Only love gets through this shield of light. You can also surround this further with a sparkling gold shield that `zaps` away unwanted energies- use what works best for you. Tell yourself “ I am protected. Only love gets through”.

Closing down the chakras

Bring your attention back to your forehead, your brow chakra, the indigo light spinning, I want you to imagine it closing down to normal function, to the size of a little fairy light. Bring your attention to the top of your head, your crown chakra, the violet light spinning. And imagine it too closing down to normal function, the size of a fairy light.
