Come From a Grounded Place
How to ADAPT and Come From a Grounded Place in the New Paradigm ~
Many of us are aware that how we experience our environment has a lot to do with how well we’re feeling and how easy or difficult it is to come from a grounded place. That’s especially so when we need to communicate or move forward in a genuinely productive way! The energy of the Cosmos has changed radically and we are being called to ADAPT to a New Paradigm based on common ground.
The purpose of this Mind Exercise is to activate the beneficial energies of the New Paradigm in your environment. Connecting with these energies will help you organize effectively and from a grounded place.
If you’ve noticed any of the following situations in your environment, try Mind Exercise #7 from Navigating Compassion Fatigue, an online resource from our Soul Oriented Solutions series –
If you feel like you or your environment are:
- Ungrounded or scattered
- Overwhelmed by too much stuff
- Disorganized and confused
- Unstable, unsafe or explosive
- Juggling too many things
- Unproductive – going around in circles
- A magnet attracting negative energies.
Directions: Confirm this is the best formula for you with the SOS Symbol.
Find a quiet place to sit in the center of your space, where you won’t be disturbed for about twenty minutes. Make sure both of your feet are firmly planted on the floor and that the soles of your shoes wouldn’t prevent you from grounding well.
Begin by meditating on this symbol that will help you organize your mind around the structure for Creating Common Ground.
Then, go through the exercise by reading each message and then gazing gently at the Circle or chart that goes with it for a minute or so. A longer or shorter time may be necessary. Let yourself breathe and relax as much as possible. Don’t worry if the images move around or change in any way. That just means the Circles are working to help you and your environment to come into balance with each other and ground.
Some emotions may come up and when that happens always visualize the heaviness moving up, out and towards the Light.
You may intuitively feel that an object in the space should be moved or removed completely. Trust your instincts. Give yourself permission to let go of anything that could keep you stuck in the old paradigm.
Mind Body Integration
For best results, look at each symbol both crossed over the midline of your body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.
Feel free to cross or uncross your arms whenever you intuitively feel you need to!
It helps to know that there are new channels of life force available in the New Paradigm that will help us ADAPT.
Keep this symbol handy to help you open up to generative life force and close down life-destructive energy channels from the past. That integration also includes new communication channels that will help us connect with each other in far more life affirming ways.
By contemplating Divine Protection, you’ll be able to intentionally close down harmful channels and open up to the generative life force (chi) that we look for in Feng Shui.
In Chinese, Feng Shui means “wind water”. These are the two elements that move energy for creating life when they’re in balance. When they’re out of balance, they can create all kinds of destructive energy patterns like stagnation, conflict, sudden reversals, poltergeists, collapses and leaks in protection, just to name a few.
Needless to say, transitioning out of the energy channels of the Piscean Age (water) into the new energy channels of the Aquarian Age (air) has been causing a challenge in a myriad of ways.
The bottom line is – the sooner we can come from a grounded place in the New Paradigm based on common ground, the better!
If you meditate on Divine Protection with clear intention, it’s possible to shift the energy in almost any environment for the better. Then, once it’s paired with the template for Common Ground, you can stabilize both yourself and the space.
Coming from a grounded place in this way will help you make wiser decisions and organize your life in a way where you can manifest balanced prosperity.
Once you’ve finished going through the entire exercise, take yourself for a gentle walk in nature or have a soak in a hot bath with Epsom or Sea Salt. It’s important to make sure that you’ve cleansed yourself.
Mind Exercise: Come from A Grounded Place
Connection
- Begin by relaxing while you softly gaze at this Reiki Chakra Key for your Life Path Chakras, located on either side of your Crown Chakra at the top of your head. Use the following affirmation:
“I choose to relax and open up to my true potential.”
Imagine any twisted energy is unwinding and opening up a beneficial connection to the sky above and the ground below.
Presence
2. Take some more time with to breathe deeply.
Pay special attention to those places in your body where you’re feeling pain or discomfort.
Consciously send your breath to those places and let them relax.
Stretch if you need to. Open and close your hands. Notice the time and the space around you.
“I bring myself fully into the present in the New Paradigm.”
Scroll back up to Divine Protection and take a few moments to consciously close down any harmful energy channels in your body or your space.
Do it both crossed and uncrossed over the center line of your body.
Receptivity
3. Once you feel present, ask for peace and harmony to come into your heart and awareness.
Consciously move your energy out of your head and pull it down into your heart and solar plexus area.
Once you feel the shift, close down harmful energy channels again. The more relaxed you are, the better this works.
Intuition
4. Use the Dragonfly Circle to tune into your instinctual nature or gut instincts so that you can reconnect and improve your relationship with your environment.
Do you get instinctual messages or intuitive hits about certain areas in the space around you?
Could there be an object that’s holding old energy or keeping you grounded in past unhappiness?
Does something need to move or be added to an area?
If there is, take a moment to make the change now and clear the area with Divine Protection.
Then, come back to your seat in the center of your space and confirm your position with Divine Protection.
Confidence
5. Jaguar Medicine will help you establish a ring of protection around you and your space. Extend a full circle of light in all directions, including above and below.
Take all the time you need to visualize it.
Clear Intention
6. Let go of intentions and agendas that are no longer helpful. Perhaps you’re doing too much or trying to handle a problem that’s not yours to fix. You don’t have to be perfect, sacrifice your well-being or be everything for everyone.
You don’t need to hold onto something that doesn’t belong to you.
You are responsible for yourself and only your part of the situation. What is your part?
What makes sense to do? What would be genuinely helpful in this situation?
Resolve to let any misguided intentions go, like old smoke disappearing into the Light.
Healthy Nourishment
7. Make sure that you’re accessing the most beneficial energies to support you and your environment.
You may notice that some directions hold more auspicious energies for you than others.
Shut down any energy channels that are irrelevant or distracting you with Divine Protection.
Empowerment
8. To ground in the New Paradigm and hold it, you need a strong connection to your spiritual source. You need to be able to take good care of yourself and willing to ask for help. Bring your attention back to your heart and listen to it beating – nice and steady. Affirm to yourself:
“I exist and am empowered through the connection in my Heart.”
“I take good care of myself and am willing to ask for help.”
“I connect with my environment through Joy and Gratitude.”
Take all the time you need with this.
Healthy Detachment
9. Confirm that you’ve pulled your energy completely out of abusive or disappointing experiences.
Use this Circle to help you stop tapping into harmful or destructive energies that don’t support you and that bring chaos into your environment.
Pull your energy back and shut down any remaining energy channels that are irrelevant or distracting you with Divine Protection.
Coherence
10. Your energy field needs coherence to adjust to how the energy works in the New Paradigm. If your current environment is particularly unstable, your energy may need to make adjustments in polarity, vibration, tempo or rhythm.
“I relax and allow my energy to adapt to what’s needed.”
“I expel energies that are harmful and no longer belong.”
Make sure both of your feet are firmly planted on the floor and that the soles of your shoes wouldn’t prevent you from grounding well.
Once the energy subsides in and around you, you’re grounded.
Self-care
11. Is there anything else you need to do to help yourself?
Does anything else need to happen in your environment so you can come from a grounded place?
Make a list so you can remember.
Realization
12. You may have experienced a recent shock. For more clarity, keep looking at the Circle while you relax and think of something that you love very much.
Have you been unknowingly jeopardizing things that matter to you?
If you have, what can you do to set it right?
Make note of the ideas that come to you.
Change
13.To maintain stability and grounding, are there any old agreements or assumptions you need to change? Raccoon can help you find them by uncovering any old garbage that’s not working anymore and needs to go. Examine your life for any old connections that are stuck and holding you back.
“What’s been working and what hasn’t been working?”
Are you willing to let go of things that are not working? Release any agreements to hold on.
“I can let go and make the changes necessary for me now.”
Clean Up
14. Use the Soul Color Chart to strengthen your Soul energy and differentiate between your energy and the energy of others. Think of an activity you really love and notice if a particular color comes up. See if you can make that color stronger, permeating throughout your field. If you can, you’ve found your Soul Color!
Your Soul Color is a powerful vibration that makes it easier to cleanse and send any clutter or debris up to the Light.
Notice how much better your body feels when you use the unique vibration of your Soul.
DECISION
15. Imagine that your Soul can gently turn you around and align you with the direction of your highest good.
Use Piranha Medicine to help you close the pathways in your mind that would lead you into ungrounded, confusing and even dangerous places.
“All holes and harmful pathways are sealed and healed.”
“I follow the protection and guidance of my Soul.”
Redirect
16. Make sure your Heart Center comes back fully into balance again. The changes that are happening aren’t easy. Unfortunately, many are heart breaking. This Reiki Chakra Key can help you connect with your Heart Chakra. Breathe deeply and be gentle.
“I take the time to listen to my heart and reconnect.”
“I release any heaviness to the Light where it can be transformed.”
With a little time, your Heart Center will be able to radiate out like a star.
“I integrate my true Self with a compassionate and radiant heart.”
Inner Guidance
17. Take some deep breaths and move your body around again. Let your shoulders drop.
Listen to that calm, gentle voice that comes from your heart.
What is it telling you?
Are you ready to ground a new template for the common good?
If you are, put both your feet on the ground again and center yourself in your solar plexus. Connect that with your heart and let their combined energy move through your entire body. Stay with that feeling until it subsides.
Divine Protection
18. Finish by gazing at Divine Protection again to confirm your connection with the new and beneficial energies of the New Paradigm.
“My mind and body are open and clear to receive generative life force.”
“All harmful energy channels have been closed down.”
“Divine Protection fills my environment completely in all directions – including above and below.”
Remember that the need to unify in common ground is real! The changes are taking place over time and you will likely need to do this exercise repeatedly. Take yourself for a gentle walk in nature or have a soak in a hot bath with Epsom/Sea Salts to cleanse yourself.

Self-care for Loss In Difficult Times
Soul Oriented Solutions: A Gentle Meditation about Emotional Stress and Self-care for Loss ~
Many people are experiencing deep levels of anxiousness, distress and fear around our current situation due to a variety of events. These feelings can come on suddenly and be very overwhelming.
You might have lost a relative, a job or an important friendship. You could be facing a health challenge or even a loss in your purpose and sense of self.
Or, you may be standing on the sidelines, watching the world you love suffer while you feel at a loss for something helpful to do.
In situations like these, it can take a while to regain your balance. What are some ways to provide self-care for loss and bring some level of emotional relief?
If you can find a way to tune into your deepest resources, you’ll discover that you’re never completely alone, even in your darkest hours.
To help out, I’d like to share this self-care formula that uses positive affirmations and the Intuitive Learning Circles. You can use it day or night, whenever you are:
- Asking for help in a difficult situation
- Stressed over a lost job or income
- Grieving a loss of any kind
- Feeling pulled into a negative state of mind
- Recovering from an abusive experience – past or present
- Dealing with a serious or long-term illness
- Preparing for an arduous challenge or surgery
- Coming to terms with tragedy, loss or death.
Here’s an example of how the Circles can prepare you restore balance.
Simply gaze softly at the image while you contemplate the positive affirmations that go with it for for a minute or so. Relax and breathe:
“I bring my senses into balance.”
“I focus them so to help me be calmer, more present and aware of what’s important.”
“I use my senses to be more aware of where I am and what I’m doing.”
“I focus on thoughts and actions that are genuinely helpful and productive.”
Next, you can continue to prepare for Self-care for Loss by allowing this Reiki Chakra Key to open your heart center. It helps to place your right hand over the center of your chest while you gaze at the symbol. Here’s a a couple of suggested affirmations:
“I understand and have compassion for the suffering of myself and others.”
“I have peace and balanced prosperity in my heart. I choose life.”
Strong emotions or insights may come up. The image may move, rotate, vibrate or change color. Don’t worry. That happens sometimes. It just means it’s working to help you feel better. Once the energy calms down a bit, you can move on to the remaining Circles with each of their affirmations to continue the process.
Your heartfelt intention is important and needs to be communicated. Use this Reiki Chakra Key to help you connect your prayers with your heart. Become aware of the Master Chakras located on each hand between the thumb and the index finger. Let them get open and balanced. Then, imagine you can connect them with your heart. These affirmations can help:
“My prayers are connecting with my heart center.”
“I ask to receive guidance, clarity and healing from my Inner Wisdom.”
You might want to journal some of your thoughts so that you can talk about what comes up later with a trusted counselor or friend. If so, get out some paper and something to write with as you go through the steps.
To finish this first part, it takes energy to get better. You may have the feeling that your life force is being drained right out of you. You could be sending energy to the past or old habits that have been harmful to you. Relax and gaze softly at the Fly’s Circle from Gifts from the Rainforest. Let it help you deconstruct those old mindsets and close the drains that are exhausting you.
“I shut down all drains or holes that are causing me to lose energy.”
Now you’re ready to begin the main part of Self-care for Loss.
Mind Body Integration
For best results, look at each symbol both crossed over the midline of your body and uncrossed so that the correction is more complete.
Feel free to move at anytime in any way to help you embody your experience!
Self-care for Loss
Step One: Ask for Help
Breathe in deeply, all the way to your belly while you reflect on this Soul Prayer Chart for Divine Assistance.
If you could ask for something that would genuinely be helpful, what would it be? Place your request in the center, open space of the chart and imagine you can send your breath to it.
Continue with your breathing until you feel a friendly and pleasant exchange of energy.
Step Two – Support
Imagine that you can bring relief and relaxation into all parts of your body, mind and spirit while you continue to breathe.
Step Three ~ Peace
What do you think is the main question, difficulty or burden you’re dealing with right now? Take a few moments and put it into your own words.
If there’s a blockage or resistance, are you ready to let go of whatever it is and find a solution? If not, why not?
Step Four – Release
If you can, imagine that difficulty or burden is beginning to melt and soften up. You can release the tension around anything that’s bothering you right now. Your shoulders are dropped. Your jaw is relaxed.
Hardened thoughts are melting like ice under the light of the Sun.
Keep softening the tension until it’s all gone.
Remember to do that both crossed and uncrossed.
Step Five – From Self-care for Loss to Divine Blessings
Continue to relax and let your mind turn to helpful channels of generative life force that are available through the Element of Air.
Use this symbol to help you close old, stagnant, erratic and unstable channels of energy.
Next, you can open to a lighter flow of chi that gives protection and increases positive life force.
Finally, connect with new communication channels by imagining the lines all coming together and connecting into the central spoke.
Step Six – Soul Vision
Now it’s much easier to connect with the wisdom of your Soul. Under this new light you have access to expanded awareness and perception of what’s possible.
Consider what your life could be without this difficulty you’re concerned about. What would it be like if the burdens were lifted? Can you imagine it?
Sense the experience as much as you can in detail.
See it, hear it, taste it, smell it and feel it.
Step Seven – Remove Your Burdens
Visualize sending all those burdens to where ever they need to go to resolve themselves. Surrender them completely and feel the heaviness lifting up and off of you.
You have done the best that you can under the circumstances.
If you can, reclaim your faith and other important Soul Resources.
Step Eight – Inner Direction
Gently contemplate this symbol to help you gain insight and spiritual direction about appropriate things to do in this situation.
Imagine you can call upon Love and your Ancestors for support.
Is there something that Love would tell you to do?
Ask to be instructed by Love as you continue along your journey.
Step Nine – Let Go
Breathe again and gaze on this Detachment Chart for a few minutes while it helps you let go of toxins or interfering energies that may be attached to you.
Feel a calmness coming over you.
Like a healing balm, imagine a loving coat of peace and comfort is pouring down over you.
Step Ten – Cleansing
Send away any illness or pain that’s associated with this situation.
Send it to the Light or wherever it needs to go to heal.
Step Ten – Repair
Continue to let it go and allow your energy to repair itself.
Relax with this Correction Chart until things smooth out and you can begin to sense the energy of your Soul coming through.
Step Twelve: Divine Connection
You have a Divine Connection to Joy and Gratitude in your Heart Center.
Make that connection and fill yourself with the strength and knowledge that you are loved.
You exist and what you do matters.
Step Thirteen – Closure
In your mind’s eye, close the doors to any pathways that keep the pain and suffering open. Take all the time you need to be sure they’re all closed.
You are connected through Love now and are following the path of your Soul.
Let this healing be sealed with Love and Light.
Some people have gotten a lot of extra support out of going through this self-care for loss formula every day for twenty-one days. It helps to retrain your mind to think more positively and keep you on track toward recovery.
