Spiritual Musts: 1. Grounding

The first step in your spiritual musts is grounding.

Before I do anything, whether it’s channelling, connecting with Spirit, or simply preparing to hold space for another, I ground myself.

Grounding brings me fully into my body and anchors my energy into the Earth, ensuring I’m not floating too high in the ethers or becoming energetically scattered.

I begin by closing my eyes and taking a slow, conscious breath.
Then I visualise roots growing from the soles of my feet, spiralling down through the layers of the Earth, moving deeper and deeper until they reach the crystalline core of Gaia. I see these roots gently wrap around the Earth’s heart, creating a strong, loving connection.

From this sacred centre, I begin to draw Gaia’s energy upward. I imagine her warm, nurturing light rising up through my roots and into my body. As this energy flows through me, it begins to clear and align my chakras, one by one.

🔴 I see a vibrant red at my base, spinning with stability and strength.
🟠 Orange flows through my sacral, igniting creativity and emotional flow.
🟡 A bright yellow swirls at my solar plexus, bringing personal power and confidence.
💚 Then, green expands in my heart space, opening me up to love and compassion.

As each chakra becomes clear and vibrant, I visualise the colours blending and radiating outward into my auric field, surrounding me in a soft, multicoloured glow.

In this moment, I say aloud or silently:

“I open my heart, my mind, my body, and my soul
to the healing energies of Gaia.”

This affirmation seals the connection and opens me to receive her grounding, healing support.

✨ Why it matters:
Without grounding, your energy can feel untethered, like a balloon caught in the wind. Grounding brings clarity, emotional balance, and energetic stability. It allows you to be fully present in your work while staying protected, nurtured, and aligned.
