I appreciated Lauren Gorgo's post (

To assist us in grounding ourselves this week and through to the 12/12, the PHC say the 11:11 brings with it a deeper level encodement, activation and opening of our earth-star chakra which will enable a fortified connection to the planet that will offer us reprieve….but that we have to consciously utilize. (Worth mentioning that all this grounding is extra stressful on the spine, feet, legs, knees, lower back, and all corresponding organs/systems related to the root/sacral/plexus chakras. Salt baths, stretching, walks in nature & conscious breathing help a great deal for the physical discomfort, as well as consciously moving the energy out of our bodies and into the earth.)
The only thing that is really required to ground is to hold the awareness of our connection to earth…however, if you feel like that is not enough you can visually move energy through your body and into the planet by visualizing your earth star chakra…which is roughly a foot beneath your feet…and which connects you to the core of earth. This connection acts as our grounding wire and secures our energy body to the earth plane by aligning us with earths elemental energies.
The PHC recommends that we channel these cosmic energies through our crown, down our spine, out thru the soles of our feet and into our earth star chakra which connects us to the core of the planet with a dark silver-brownish cord of light. I, myself, am not a big fan of meditation or visualization or anything really that requires extra-sensory effort, but based on what I am being shown, even I may make use of some visual aids. For those who like to keep it simple, one of my favorite and absurdly easy grounding techniques is what I call “magnet feet”…where I imagine that my feet are magnets that are clamped to the ground by the pull of earth’s metal core. Tho honestly, I find laughter to be the best remedy…second to that would be cooking or baking or just spending time with loved ones. I say, whatever works.
