“Accept your dark side, understanding it will help you to move with the
light. Knowing both sides of our souls, helps us all to move forward in
life and to understand that, perfection doesn’t exist.”
When spiritual teachers recommend you to ground yourself, they usually tell you to empower your root chakra. There are multiple practices including meditation, yoga etc, which can do that for sure. What i want to teach you here is just a shift of a perspective in a sense about the same topic.
Grounding means activity which empowers sense of stability and balance. The secret of this is simple. The key to build up the sense of groundedness is working with your own sense of “Order“.
What do i mean by that? By that i mean casual cleaning.
Connect mindfully the idea of grounding with the idea of cleaning and creating more of order around you. Doing dishes by hands, vacuuming, getting new plants for your windows, buying some orgonite pyramids for your bedroom is great, printing new pictures which you like, creating something like an altar with precious objects. Throw out stuff which you have all the time under your nose, you know that you dont need it, notice that you open some boxes in your home once in a year and for no reason. Get rid of them, the willingness to riddance is purifying.
The essence of all this is doing it with gratitude and mindful perspective. Learn to like these activities and give them some more attention than just putting them in-between other events. By this practice and with this awareness you create better aura for your home and therefore your own auric field can expand and resonate.
If you balance the positive and negative aspects of the subtle energy in your body, it will rise up your spine and open your third eye, giving you great spiritual insight. Several religious traditions recognize this and encode it into their symbolism.
Yoga explains it straightforwardly; when the ida and pingala balance, kundalini rises up the sushumna.
The ancient Greeks symbolized this with the caduceus, the staff carried by Hermes, messenger of the gods.
The Knights Templar may have used Baphomet for this purpose; Eliphas Levi’s drawing shows much related symbolism.
Alchemists used many terms and symbols, but in the above example, the dragons represent the opposing energy and the sun and moon their dualistic nature.
Freemasons encode this symbolism into the “Master’s Carpet”. The two pillars of the Temple of Solomon, Jachin and Boaz, are analogous to the ida and pingala. The sun and moon represent the duality of the forces, and the all-seeing eye represents the third eye.
