It takes a real leap in our spiritual evolution to
see ourselves as one with humanity and to act in accordance with that insight.”

Everyday Life (2004).
In a recent conversation
with Julia Day, the Light Tree group joined with other Mighty Companions to
explore the experience of being ‘grounded’ more fully. We wanted to share ways we
retain our ability stay joined with the flow of Universal Oneness when we are
tempted to lose our sense of connectedness with Spirit in everyday life.
It was clear from our
discussion that grounding is an experience that emerges from the heart. This is
easy to accomplish while resting in deep peace and calling upon gratitude while
joining with the cosmic heart, or as some call it, the Heart of the Earth.
This illustration by
Christine shows how important it is to sink as deeply into the earth as
possible when allowing the energies of cosmic love to flow through the physical
and light bodies during meditation.
One of the simplest ways to
feel grounded is to join with trees and moist earth and feel our roots sinking
deep into the soil. We are reminded to be unlimited in feeling how far we can
drop into the earth, or how high we can rise into the sky above us. As we
surrender to the guidance that Spirit offers us, stories of fear and
self-limitation may appear to emerge. This is an excellent opportunity to
forgive and release them. These are simply the obstacles to the awareness of
Love’s presence coming to the surface for healing.
Being grounded simply means
that we rest in our true self and expand ourselves into the Oneness of all-that-is.
When we surrender all our stories and accept our true nature we can easily trust
that there is nothing to defend ourselves against. We become fully immersed in the
Universal Love that we inherently embody by sinking ever more deeply into this
truth.
