i have 2 questions about the grounding exercise.
first question: when the earth energy is rising/erupting upwards through me, it makes the muscles in the back of my neck tense up very tightly feeling like there is something that is eventually going to burst or explode. anyone have this experience? is there some sort of block there?
second question: when i arrive at the center of the earth and the energy starts returning through my lasor light cord, it is not the same golden light color or consistency of the sun but almost red-black in color and of a different density. should i be controlling the visualization so that it appears in my minds eye as light energy or is it alright to let this be?
wow, historically being an air spirit flighty gemini person in terms of my personality manifestation, this exercise is making me intensely respect the earth and her power. guess i have always been in love with Her, but wow, i think that this exercise has started making it feel like requited love, for lack of a better way of putting it.
sounds like you have a pretty powerful Shakti flow already... the neck thing is a common type of thing where their is a resistance holding back the flow (aka a block)... the flow itself may eventually wear it down, like water flowing over a rock over time...
perhaps Mystress has some other ideas of what to do... but often Shakti will bring up corresponding events in your life to address whatever is associated with the blockage...
the dark red color in your flow from the Earth makes alot of sense... that is the color traditionally associated with the root chakra...
i've found that the Grounding Visualization itself will help give you most of what you need to get the K flowing freely if you really keep at it...
warmly,

Probably.. most likely an entity.. do the entity clearing on it.. or just allow it to explode! :)

Yes, let it be. You are coming from a Tibetan path, the Tibetan version of the grounding sees the Earth light as red, and the Shakti energy as "clear light".. the blackness of the Void. You are simply seeing a slightly more advanced version of grounding.. or rather, a different culture's version of it. The Tibetans mix the sky energy and the Earth energy in the heart.. then circulate it. Sacred alchemy. Not much difference, really.. my version is different because it is easier for westerners to learn. There is no right or wrong, just different paths.

:) Lovely.. yes, requieted love.. the love you give to the Earth, comes back multiplied.
Blessings!
gotcha, i think yer right about it being an entity, a couple months ago i tried using an egg to clear it but that sticky critter did not take the bait...either that or i fergot to refill the spot with light so it became a warm attic for another creature.

lol, i often find my "past lives" prOceding me, like i am following a recipe that i don't consciously re-member but the ingredients just happen to be what i love to eat and viola a tibethan buddhist dakini cream pie...does everyone else have this experience? seems like a big puzzle piece indication that we are not in Kansas anymore.
: Blessings!
thanks Angelique! and may your writing/sailing adventure be thorougly enjoyable (what does one wish for a person of wholeness...that their light might shine upon themselves in playful rejuvenation?)
hi Percyval! this whole internet tea room thang is way more warm and friendly than i would have ever expected from all of the jargon about (im)personal computers. guess that intent travels through phone lines, eh?

just discovering how much i am loving grounding, jees louise. am sure some of you folks can relate to me on this one: i was historically an overlysensitive person which did not really serve any purpose in the past besides annoying me with limitations (too affected by toxins, coffee, cigs, drugs, medicine, people, emotions, you name it, had to quit everything and be a hermit for a while).
Now that I have been (re)discovering the god-dess, shakti, grounding, etc i am finding that one's sensitivities can also be one's strengths if you stop rebelling against them and ask what they are saying.
thanks for responding!
affectionately,
lk
Yes, I had many similar experiences, on my path. So, you have done this before.. that will probably make your path easier, this time around.

Thank you! Blessings to you, too..
