CHAPTER 1

The First Relationship:Earth and Cosmic Energies

The first relationship we'll explore is the deeply loving and supportive relationship we eachhave with two vast entities—our living Earth and the cosmic energies. We'll begin with thepowerful underpinning of our humanity—the nurturing and increasingly playful relationshipwe have with Earth.

The living Earth, with her space and time, provides us with what Lewis Bostwick calledour kindergarten, our playspace. Earth ensures that our experience is distilled andsimplified from infinite dimensions of the cosmos to the four dimensions of space/time.Earth provides us with the loving structures that form the psychic kindergarten we live in,play in, and explore. It supports a three-dimensional space where we can grow and learnto become what Seth calls a conscious co-creator with God, where we can learn tocreate our own reality, without having so much freedom that we're overwhelmed by ourinfinite possibilities.

Our admission ticket to Earth's psychic kindergarten is our body. Psychically, our bodiesreach deep into Earth, where they are nourished in unfathomable ways and grow out ofEarth much like a tree. They are wondrous intuitive and emotional instruments thatperpetually send and receive vital waves of energy and information, like a radioreceiver/transmitter. Psychics have discovered that the body operates most capably andcomfortably when "grounded," that is, when appropriately "tuned to" and aligned withEarth's frequency.

Grounding

Grounding balances and centers your body and allows you to feel safer, clearer, andsupported. Being grounded enhances your ability to see, feel, and hear more deeply. Lifeseems to just flow more easily when your body is grounded.

You can ground yourself by creating a powerful energetic connection between your bodyand Earth called a grounding cord. Your grounding cord provides the unconditionalsupport of the Earth's energy and allows you to align your body at an optimum frequency.It also provides a safe and powerful mechanism through which you can release excessand outdated energy from your aura.

In the first exercise, you create a grounding cord (an open "pipe" of light 3 to 6 inches indiameter) that extends from your pelvic area all the way down to and connected with thecenter of the planet. First, we'll discuss the varied aspects of grounding. Then, using theoutline on page 8, you can practice it at your leisure.

Posture during meditations

In the past, many of the best meditation systems used a closed meditation posture, suchas the famous lotus posture of the Buddha. That posture provided many benefits, but wasdirected at isolating the meditator from worldly relationships.

Since this meditation system embraces life's relationships, the most effective posture forpracticing these techniques is an open posture. The posture called the Egyptian posture isan excellent open meditation posture. You sit comfortably in a chair, with your backstraight, both feet flat on the floor, arms and legs uncrossed, and your hands resting,palms down, on your thighs. In this posture, your energy can flow freely throughout yourbody and aura. It allows you to remain open to life, grounded in your body, and more inthe moment (see figure 1, page 4).

You can be grounded regardless of your posture. The ideal is to be grounded all of thetime, whether you are sitting, walking, running, or flying. Once you become familiar withthe process, you will find that you can easily ground while standing and moving throughoutyour day.

Breathing

Breathing gently, smoothly, and deeply into your belly during the exercises will increasetheir benefit and effectiveness. Shallow, rapid, or erratic breathing often indicates a needto increase your grounding.

Visualize your grounding cord as green

While you can ground yourself with other colors, we find that it is particularly effective forbeginners to visualize their grounding cord as green. The natural healing, calming, andearthy qualities of green contribute nicely to growth and grounding.

Initially, you will probably find it easier to visualize your grounding cord with your eyesclosed. Eventually, you will be able to, and will want to, ground with your eyes open. Youcan imagine your grounding cord—see it, feel it, hear it, or intend it—looking somewhatlike a green fiber-optic tube or an open pipe of green light.

The chakras used in grounding

The grounding exercise will introduce you to three important energy centers in your body:your first chakra, your third chakra, and your foot chakras. Chakras are dynamic psychicorgans, confluences of vital energies that are received, transmitted, and metabolized inyour body and aura. They often appear as two cones of energy, connected to andemerging from the spine, one forward and one backward. The chakras have numerousqualities attributed to them. In the beginning, you will be working with the aspects of eachof these three chakras that ground you and facilitate the energy flow into and throughoutyour body and aura (see figure 2, page 6).

The chakra that you ground from is called the first chakra. This psychic organ facilitatesyour bringing grounding energy into your body and aura from Earth. In this system, thefirst chakra is placed differently for women than for men. For women, the first chakra islocated between the ovaries; for men, it is located in its traditional site, at the base of thespine. Placing the first chakra a little higher on the spine for women allows them to runtheir bodies at a higher frequency. This seems to be a more natural female level.

The third chakra is located at the solar plexus, just a little below where the ribs cometogether in the abdomen. This chakra facilitates the distribution of the various energiesthroughout your body and aura.

Facing downward in the arches of the feet are the foot chakras. The foot chakras allowyou to effortlessly bring Earth energy directly into your body.

How to create a grounding cord

You create your grounding cord by first imagining a spinning ball of earthy-green lightanywhere from 3 to 6 inches in diameter in your first chakra. Let it spin (the direction ofspin doesn't matter), then let it fall...
