Default Grounding (wierd way)

Alrighty, Now I'm sure most of you know what grounding is. I was working with the spirits today and they had me do this grounding exercise to work with these underground (dwarf, kinda) spirits. I got into regular half lotus position, but instead of putting my hands on my lap, I put them palm down on the ground. Since its difficult for me to smell whats beneath the ground, I was able to sense them by grounding my hands into the earth. WOW!!!!!! Let me tell you, after about 45 minutes, it was alive. It was absolutely amazing. I tried it near a tree, and WOW!!!!! That tree never felt so alive. Even though I can smell the spirits, I am working on "feeling" them empathically. So this exercise was a great breakthrough. Just thought I'd share that.

That's a great exercise, Master Vigil! I appreciate the spirits sharing it with you and then you sharing it with us! (I'll have to try that tomorrow.)

Hi Master Vigil,
I have never put my hands directly on the soil to 'Ground', I do 'hug trees' - I find them wonderful. I will try the ground next time.

Thank you for sharing that Master V . Best of luck on developing your gifts .


A bit of a side note ... I had never even thought of " smell " before ? Strange that . I'll have to keep that in mind .

Yeah its wierd, I've never met anyone else that can do it. But since my spirit is half wolf, my best sense in the spirit world is my sense of smell. Odd yes I know. But its who I am.

Not odd at all, really...comparatively *grin*

I work best with the earth, so I always try to do work touching something - tree, earth, etc. Don't get me wrong, I love everything else - I just feel closest to the earth.

Congratulations on such a great experience!

Not odd at all. Perfectly understandable.
