Wisdom
When thrown off balance and need a deep reset, ground intently with Mother Earth. Ah-Ha!!
Deeper Dive
Steve and I attended a weekend seminar with The Power Path at their private ranch in northern New Mexico. I had been there a handful of times over the past several years with my last visit being May 2017. Having been over a year since my last visit to this powerful land, I was excited to go. Prior to arrival, I grounded myself knowing it was necessary in order to meet the land spirits.
When we arrived, we greeted our mentors and numerous friends with hugs and well wishes. It was wonderful to see so many faces once again. We then set up our tent and had conversation with more friends also attending the seminar. As we got settled in, I grew more and more light headed in an uneasy way. My stomach seized up and my breathing became erratic. It was very unsettling for me to experience this.
As this started to build, I was a little panicked. What do I do? What’s wrong? How do I manage this? My inner guidance kept saying ‘ground, Lila, ground.’ So I tried, but I couldn’t even focus to get a good energetic downward spiral started. I panicked more, “how do I ground!!” I went off by myself for a few minutes, took deep breaths, and calmed myself. I was then able to ground at a preliminary level.
As I calmed, I could feel the spirits of this powerful land greeting me in a very intense way. I had had some very powerful experiences there during past visits, and I had grown into who I am with these spirits’ guidance. I felt they were extremely excited to see me as well as the other seminar participants.
Evidently, over the past year, my abilities to sense energetic beings had greatly improved because I had never felt these land spirits like this previously. I felt good about that. But it was also an ah-ha moment to realize that I had much to learn about energetic beings and how to manage the incoming energy.
Shortly after I felt grounded, the seminar opened with a short introduction, a clearing, and blessings. During this initial gathering, I became ungrounded again. This time, I was even more light-headed (seeing stars), short of breath, and teetering on the border of being confused. I struggled to focus on grounding with some success, only to be swept away with the next round of blessings. It was exhilarating to be so high vibration, but it was unsettling to have my 3-D body so uncomfortable. During this introduction, I vowed to myself that I would learn more about grounding so that my 3-D body would always feel comfortable going forward.
After the introductions, we were given an hour to get further settled before our official start. Steve walked me to our tent. I decided that I needed to learn how to ground so that I could manage the rest of the weekend seminar from a place of calm, peaceful, loving acceptance. And be able to function without feeling ill. My inner guidance added that I needed to learn how to work with the energies of the land rather than resist them.
I took a blanket and my gems, and I laid down on Mother Earth. I laid on my back and I asked Mother Earth to nourish me with her powerful energy. I set an intention to ground deeply into the Earth and to be one with her and the land spirits. After about 20 minutes, I felt back in my body. I felt calm, was breathing normally, and was no longer light headed. Another 10 minutes and I felt grounded and strong. I felt firmly planted in my knowing of who I was. I felt the warm embrace of the land spirits, and I felt back to being my Self.
The remainder of the weekend I remained grounded, and I enjoyed spending time there with the land spirits. What a lesson they taught me!
Conclusion
Just when one thinks they know how to do something, the Universe takes it to a new level. This may throw us off balance for a time, but it is a test of how strong and determined we are. Ultimately, we naturally accept the challenge, bear down, learn the lesson, and come out stronger. That’s the real lesson in all this.
One of this weekend’s many lessons for me was grounding. I thought I knew how to ground, I thought it was no big deal. And when the land spirits pushed me to new heights, I learned a new level of grounding. … and humility. I am so very grateful for the lessons, and I look forward to seeing the land spirits again.
