Practical Witchery: Grounding (3/3)

In the first two posts on grounding, I covered two very tactile methods of grounding your energy. The first involved using bodily awareness and focusing your energy down into the ground beneath you. The second involved using a tool and projecting your energy into the tool at which point the energy disperses gradually.

The third method I am sharing with you is an equally bodily focused method. It is somewhat more involved than the first two, but not by much. The focus of grounding one's energy is two part. The first is to restore one's personal energy to balance. The second is to refocus one's attention upon the physical world that we inhabit.

The act of preparing a meal and eating can be tremendously grounding. This is one of the reasons why the 'cakes and ale' portion of a Wiccan ritual is so important. It helps to reestablish 'normal' space. Simply eating something serves to ground your energy. For an especially effective method of grounding, eating something with a little salt in it can ground your energy quite quickly. (Dissolving a little salt under your tongue grounds you very quickly. The author has found that this method is not just effective but can lead to a mild headache if there has been a great deal of magical energy dealt with prior. Use with discretion.)
