"I guess what I need to hear was that grounding is safe, period, regardless of phenomena"

FST is DIY course. The best proof is experience. Why rely on someone else's word?

Keep a journal for yourself. Observe how you feel before grounding and write it down. Ground and then observe how your body feels. Keep practicing to the best of your abilities without worrying too much about tomorrow. And honestly, there is nothing esoteric about grounding - it is our natural state of being.

It feels like you want to keep your fears. Why? What do you think you are gaining by holding on to your fears? You do not have to answer here. Something to think about.

Thanks Gopi. Yes, I've definitely taken on the identity of a victim who has caused serious damage to his brain/energy body. It doesn't suit me whatsoever...

After reflection I'm thinking much of the intense tension at the back of the neck and head(that caused me to stop grounding) was due to getting off of meds and starting a new, highly anxiety producing job(where I have to facilitate groups and speak in front of groups)... I think it was fear/stress that caused the energy/stress to creep up my spine and into and out of my head. After stopping grounding due to the energy at the neck, I subsequently felt intense energy in the head a day or two later, and then dissociation about a week later. It's wild it was like a helium ballon, the energy started creeping up gradually up and out in the days after quitting the exercise.

Not since resuming I feel better already. I fine that I chronically yawn and yes water as I'm grounding. I love this practice and would do it all day if given the chance I will continue to practice daily and will check in.

I feel like the movie "Groundhog Day". Yet again I commit to the practice, doing it diligently, magically all my stress related illness start falling off to the wayside, I become more grounded, I start feeling my kidneys swell(filling with Chi I presume), energy increases in the body, and the dreaded terrible tension headaches. I guess I'm hoping that the energy in the head is benign because it's terribly uncomfortable... I will continue to press on.

Unless Mystress you think I should stop? OR do belly breathing in lieu of the grounding? It's incredibly frustrating because I see how powerful and beneficial this exercise(im very drawn to it and actually enjoy doing it, I would do it 4 hours/day if i could) it but like clockwork after 3 months of practice all sort of energetic phenomena/pressure in the head manifests.  Thank you all for taking the time to read. I'd love to read responses. I also use this forum as a type of diary I can go back to as needed from time to time to soak up the collective wisdom.



Wish you all a wonderful NYE!!!

  No substitute for being grounded. No belly breathing!

  Grounding is self shaktipat, it burns off bits of your karma and your crown is the chimney.  You have noticed grounding takes your tension away, but if your crown is closed it builds up in your head. Flower visualization at the beginning of the grounding is a message to the unconscious mind to open your crown. Try getting grounded again as soon as you feel the tension start, blow it off.

  Also make note of what thoughts arise after, what is brought up to be let go.

  Happy New Year! New decade too.
