Grounding Yourself and Closing Mirror Portals.

Grounding yourself and Closing Mirror Portals.

Grounding is literally the most important thing you can do for yourself.

Especially as an empath, if you are not grounded energetically, you will pick up, I mean suck up everyone's feelings and emotions (that they usually are ignoring) and you will not be able to sort it all out until you sit down and ground yourself. 

I do this sometimes every minute, every hour, every day, once a week. It all depends on how I'm doing mentally. It can take as short or as long as you'd like. 

That's one thing I love the most about The Universe. 

YOU get to pick and choose how YOU do YOU. 

How amazing is that though?

Give yourself all the space and time you have to do it too. 

Don't ever feel like you have to rush through it, making it your own IS THE MAGIC.

Easy Steps to Grounding Yourself.

Start off by taking as many deep breaths you need. 

Try to clear your mind and push away all distractions. 

Imagine a giant white light beam coming down from The Universe and going right through the top of your head straight down into your body. Take that white light and grow it to be a bubble around you. Keep taking deep breaths and use this white light to wash away all of the negative thoughts and any thing that has been stuck. 

We want to clear everything with the white light first before we start to ground. 

So now we will imagine our legs growing deep into the ground below us and pulling all of our energy back into our body and filtering everything that isn't needed and picked up from others and release it down through your roots.
Keep taking deep breaths. It's really important to breathe deep in through your nose and gently out through your mouth. It helps me to put my hand on my chest or belly to help stay present.

While your breathing become present into your body. 

You can set intention of keeping your energy in your own bubble and to keep others out. 

Sit with that feeling of being fully present and grounded into the earth and breathe. 

It's a great way to start your morning rituals! Especially before a mediation, card pull or journaling. I also ask my Spirits to come in and give me any messages or guidance I might need for the day too.

Doing that for my morning ritual has helped me keep balance in my daily life of being able to handle all of my responsibilities. When you go from surviving to actually living and feeling happiness it's a big change in every single way. It's been a few months of really really integrating changing my mindset and not thinking so negatively or even so much. I've always been a very black and white thinker and I try to think of every way possible to figure out how to solve a problem so there is options and as great as qualities as these are, they also help me dig myself down into a cave of self doubt. So that is what I've been really trying to work on this past couple weeks. Especially learning boundaries with myself going back to work at our shop from only working at home since I was pregnant with Jonah. So Im so grateful my kids have been amazing with all of this transition with me. Of course we all could try a little harder but we are also TIRED. This winter has been long enough and we are ready for spring. I am most excited for laying out by my pool on the lake and wakeboarding. 

Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy. But remember this.. You have friends here, you are not alone. - Albus Dumbledore

Closing A Mirror Portal.

This is what sparked my idea of being serious about a blog because the mirror I have in my closet, is also a portal and I tried "googling" it and literally couldn't find anything. So I had to come up with my own way and I absolutely found something that has worked for me. I have this big mirror in my closet and I couldn't even sleep with the door open because I would feel like it was open to any friendly spirits who just wanted to say hello or have a message. I didn't usually allow them right on in, but I needed something in place to close it because after a while, they would fill up my bedroom soon again. I cleansed my house first, than went to close the portal.

How I closed my mirror portal.

I first gathered a few things. Sage, Palo Santo, and lipstick.

I cleared and grounded myself first. 

I asked all my Spirits to help me close this portal.

I said out loud "I'm closing this portal and not allowing anyone to travel without explicit permission from me. Right now not a single soul has permission and I do not intend giving anyone permission either." I then drew an X in each corner of my mirror with lipstick and as I drew each X I said I was locking the 4 corners in with protection. I sat in my closet for a bit until I felt like it was closed. It's been completely silent and I have even left the door open one night last week.

Make it your own and say whatever you feel like you need to. 

I can't express enough how amazing it feels to follow your own intuition and say whatever you feel and have the control over whatever your doing. Whether it is cleansing your own house or re-grounding yourself when your really struggling in the moment. That is the magic that keeps me going.
