The Importance of Grounding

There exists a misconception among many folk that ascension is all about leaving our bodies by hanging out in the ethers above our bodies, denying our shadows and spiritually bypassing our traumas. Essentially, a form of escapism.

If we were to do this, we would find we get easily side tracked and stuck along the way, and looping in karmic patterns that prevent us from moving on, growing beyond and expanding further.

We would also make ourselves very susceptible to unknowingly taking on external energies that are out of alignment with our highest purpose - from other people, places and things. This can include entities that feed off lower vibrational behaviours and emotions.

To be grounded means to be fully present, here and now and being conscious and aware of our bodies and our surroundings.

Without grounding and truly being present in our bodies, we cannot clear our cellular memories and transmute the emotions, trauma and karma held in our bodies.

In order to embody higher states of consciousness, we need to develop an awareness of the importance of grounding, of coming into and honouring the body.

The intention is not to deny, neglect or leave the body and transcend the physical, but rather to bring a conscious awareness and loving presence into our bodies and to what we hold within the our bodies - lower frequency energies such as repressed emotions, limiting and outdated beliefs and programs, judgements, fear, control and other contracted energies that create density.

Whether we know it or not, we are constantly both receiving and transmitting frequencies. The frequencies we transmit are based on what we hold within and what we choose to create...for as humans, we can choose create loving frequences. Yet in order to become conscious co-creators, we need to address the density we hold within as it is these that play out in our lives as repeating patterns and limiting behaviours in our physcial reality.

All change begins within, by cleaning house, so to speak, so that our Higher Self can more fully come into our bodies. In essence, it is the physcial body that ascends through the clearing of density and it is the Higher Self that descends into our bodies.

So it all begins with honouring the body by grounding and presencing into our physical bodies as well as rooting down into Mother Earth - of which our physical bodies are an extension of.

The level of conscious awareness and loving presence with which we honour, love and respect our bodies is a direct mirror of how we honour and treat our Mother Gaia. Collectively, we have a long way to go, yet because higher frequencies and levels of consciousness hold more power, it only takes a minority to begin awakening the majority.

Mother Earth and our physical bodies represent the feminine aspects of our existence, so seen from another perspective, in order to truly ascend and evolve, we need to start by honouring the feminine aspects of our existence and restoring more feminine values back into our lives.
