ROOTS OF A FLOWER GROUNDING SPELL

ALL OF US CAN (AND SHOULD!) actively work to ground ourselves, and get out of our scatterbrained heads to sink our awareness into the present moment and our physical body. Getting grounded is healthy for everyone, but it’s an especially necessary practice when you’re a witch. If you’re disconnected to yourself and the elements around you, you probably won’t have a strong connection to a “source,” or whatever spiritual, inner self/higher power you like to call on to infuse your spells with magick. Time to slow yourself down, calm your energy, and get grounded, girl.

When grounding yourself, remember that the earth is the most useful element in this task. Anything you can use to connect with earth energy is good during a grounding ritual—plants, soil, and tangible forms of comfort (like nourishing food or physical connection) are all helpful. In this ritual, we’ll be using crystals and a tangible tool to connect us with the earth element and help us ground.

Consider the seven major chakras, or the energy centers on our etheric body (meaning we can’t see them, because they’re made of energy). At the bottom of the column of chakras is the root chakra, which represents our foundations, security, and ability to feel safe. Think of this as the bottom of a needs pyramid. The color of the root chakra is red, so you can call on this color correspondence (along with green and/or brown) to ground you.

Use this ritual anytime you find yourself falling into an imbalanced state. If you are getting caught up in and carried away with emotions, thoughts, or passions, lean into the physical present, and “root” yourself safely back into the earth.
