Grounding and Protection Techniques
"The deeper the roots the higher becomes the tree."
Not all Reiki practitioners use grounding and protection techniques. Yet, these are extremely important both for the person conducting the energetic healing, and for the person receiving it.
Applying grounding techniques is an act of responsibility, and should never be forgotten during energetic treatments.
What does "Grounding" or "Earthing" means?
The word "Grounding" or "Earthing", means to have one's feet on solid ground, to walk with certainty on earth and to be fully present physically and spiritually in this dimension.
People reporting to "float" when they walk, can be a good example of individuals facing "grounding" or "earthing" problems.
And because Reiki works on an energetic level (allowing an exchange of energy between two persons), the practitioner needs to know these techniques, master, apply them on a regular basis and before engaging in treatments. Grounding is not only important for the practitioner, but also for the person receiving Reiki.
With self-development, comes the day that the practitioner no longer needs to create "roots" to ground himself/herself.
Until then, this practise allows the practitioner to preserve his/her health, avoiding unpleasant situations e.g. attacks, negative entities, energetic intrusions, aura and chakra problems, etc.
In other cases, grounding can be very positive when people go to sleep at night, making sure that they will have a good night rest, not being swept away into other dimensions, engage in astral travelling or be energetically attacked by entities.
Grounding for life and health
Grounding is not something that should only be used temporarily (when people sense trouble) or only by "healers". These techniques can be used by everyone on a daily basis, specially when the person feels unbalanced, unwell or "floating".
Normally, people practicing Reiki or energetic treatments, tend to be highly sensitive or empathic people, feeling energy depletion or "attacks" stronger than other people. Reason why, before engaging in energetic healing, the person should learn these techniques and apply them daily (or a few times a day if necessary).
So, grounding can also be used both for people, animals, objects, homes, jobs and thoughts!

Protection
 Being well protected energetically is basically being well grounded, or having a strong bond with the planet and with the universe.
And because we are all beings of energy, its important to understand that we all have both the power and capacity, to ground or unground ourselves, to balance or imbalance ourselves, to drain or replenish ourselves.
Although there are many different techniques available, to help people ground and protect their energetic field, some people still prefer to go back to their religious beliefs, cultural roots or traditional uses in order to feel connectivity with God, the planet and universe.
Either way, people should carry protection techniques on a daily basis, recurring to praying, meditation, the use of white light, mirrors, "telephone cabins", "armours", smudging, praying, etc.
All these techniques can easily be accomplished with the aid of visualisation techniques (by opening up the senses and developing the power of the mind). Click here for more information about our Grounding and Protection Courses
