Grounding/Centering Rituals

[AirSpirit]

I am seeking some grounding rituals and centering rituals.
Can anyone recommend any posts, websites, books or ideas to work on these two states?

One way to ground and center is to stand quiet and alone somewhere and concentrate on you breathing. follow your breath going in and out ..in and out. After a time start to imagine you looking at yourself and see all the eratic energy all around you which may be in high concentrations in some areas and barely visible in others then with the hands of your imagination grab hold of that energy and start pushing it all down to and in the ground.

you may wish to hold your actual hands above your head with palms down and physically push the energy down...down...down...down...till you reach the ground and can firmly plant your hands onto the ground.

Once you have done that you have grounded the energy now its time to recharge yourself so to speak this is where the centering part of the ritual comes in

From the squatted postion with your hands on the ground see and feel the pure clean energy of the earth rising up from your toes and then your feet and working its way up your entire body filling you up completely. Once you have absorbed the energy from the earth shift your visualizing to becoming focussed and see all the energy of your body coming together and joining into an orb or ball of light and energy and meeting each other at the center of your body ( somewhere between your heart and belly button) then once you have seen this energy meet and form this solid orb then concentrate on your breathing some more and clear your mind of any thoughts or visualization then breath a little longer and then slowly open your eyes.

You are now grounded and centered.

Visualisation is a powerful tool when dealing with any form of magick, with grounding it is no difference.
Visualise yourself and your spirit, now visualise your body shooting roots through your feet, sinking deeper and deeper into mother earth, than visualise your spirit sinking down the winding roots into mother earth. You should feel more grounded right away.

I use mirrors for grounding as well. Looking into a mirror you see yourself as others see you, it is a certainty, it is set, this is what you look like, that is the colour of your eyes, the colour of your hair, the form of your lips, the shape of your face. Often concidering these things will help me become relaxed and centered.

I would suggest staying away from stones like Amathyst and moonstone because they are not very grounding, instead use heavier stones like Labradoryte to help you balance and center.
