A View of Hope - Grounding 101

By Hope Hewetson
Here at Psychic Horizons Center we enjoy being in kindergarten! There are crayons in every room, some stuffed animals lying about, snacks at break, and a lot of laughter!

We remind ourselves to be more child- like, living life with wonder and curiosity. It's harder to tap into your intuition if you are stuck in the serious business of having to figure things out and control!

The grounding cord is the first tool taught in How to Heal Yourself, and the first one mentioned in any workshop or class you take here, from beginners to advanced. Sit quietly, with your eyes closed, and your feet flat on the floor. Imagine a connection from your hips to the center of the earth. It can be a tree, a waterfall, a beam of light or anything else you can imagine. Once someone suggested a fishstick! It allows you to release energy that isn’t yours out of your space.

Allow yourself to have the experience of it as a child would, rather than having to figure it out! Children in their classes already know they have a grounding cord. They see it as their tail!

Not only does it allow you to release foreign energy out of your space, but it helps draw you, the limitless spirit, closer to your body, and more into the center of your head. In the center of your head you are in the driver’s seat of the body. You the spirit is behind your eyes and in between your ears, watching and hearing your world, and choosing how to respond and perceive what you are experiencing.
Know that YOU are the result of the relationships you are having with all that is around you in any given moment. The quality of your relationships is the result of how you choose to think about whatever you are noticing. With YOU in the center of your head you have a better chance of responding to life from your truth as a spiritual being, versus someone else’s.

This is a kindergarten article, so it’s storytime! A friend recently shared a story that points out the value of grounding. Beth had the task of selling her mother’s car. Her mother was stressed about it because of the details involved and she didn’t want the buyer to know that the car needed a timing belt.
Beth took the job of selling the car, but first grounded the scenario. She put the concept of “selling the car” in a bubble in front of her and and grounded the bubble. She grounded her mother’s worry and stress out of the bubble, and set the energy in ease and grace to sell the car. She sprinkled some amusement as well. She released the bubble to Source to be created and went on with her life.

Beth put the car on Craig’s List and immediately got some interest. She took the car to get its emission’s sticker. While waiting, she wanted a snack. Five cents short, she asked if someone in the waiting room would give her a nickel. A man, Jeff, gave her the nickel. Then, Beth realized she didn’t have enough money to pay for the test and needed 15 more dollars. Jeff gave her the money, and then followed her to an ATM. While Beth was getting the money, Jeff noticed the FOR SALE sign on the car. He inquired about it. Beth told him about the timing belt, which was the reason for the car’s low cost. Jeff checked out the engine, made an offer right there, and pulled $900 cash out of his pocket, the result of having just sold his car hours before. Beth had the title with her, signed the car over to him, got a ride to work, and the car was sold!

One of the things I love about this story, is the ability to ground in grace and release control and worry. If Beth had grounded the mock up for this sale with lots of detail, chances are she would never have come up with such an effortless scenario on her own! We tend to ground our awareness in past experience and expectations rather than in the present moment, which is where miracles occur! We need to trust that the Universe has so many more miracles and outcomes for us than we can even imagine! But how many times do we limit them coming to us because we have to control the outcome and worry?

This story reminds us to be grounded in the moment and follow our heart, even if it seems counter intuitive. Someone else would talk themselves out of asking for a nickel. A picture would float through their head, an old worn out voice saying it’s not okay to ask for money from strangers. But Beth just went with it, even asking for the $15, and look what happened! Who could have thought that all up in advance? No matter what is going on in life, nothing replaces the skill of practicing being in the present moment, and that grounding cord really helps. Take a deep breath and validate your grounded connection to Mother Earth. Intend that you, the eternal spirit, is present in your body. Earth is always in present time, so grounding to her will always help!

In this moment, as a spirit present in that body, you are in a space of miracles and wonder. There’s no fear or worry, no disease, no such thing as real loss, no judgment, no punishment. Without those concepts filtering your truth, you are free to create in more effortlessness and joy! Join us for a class or workshop, and hone this skill! If your mind says that living from joy and grace is too good to be true, all the more reason to explore the age of miracles we are in! May you feel blessed and supported on your path.❦ Rev.

Words To Grow By - It's About Life!

By Mary Bell Nyman

Many, many years ago, I read "The Foundation Trilogy" by
Isaac Asimov. It was an incredible story of logical scientists
versus spiritual psychics, and who gained the world so to
speak. I loved it and later found another trilogy written
by Boulder author Robert Dresner, called "The Astral
Imperative." Dresner begged Asimov to write a sequel, but
Asimov gave him the task! I want to share his words, which
speak so true today in 2012.

"Nothing is dead! And nothing ever dies! Rock lives! Dirt
lives! Rock lives to become dirt, to become fertile soil, to
sustain higher life and enter the cellular membrane of a
higher mind and purpose. And God lives in everything,
in every thought and feeling, on every world, in every
dimension of time and space, in every being and every rock,
in every misery and in every wretched form of conscious
life, in every virtue and every sin and sinner. It is all God.
And it is all grace because even the worst of it can and will
evolve into the best of it—given time.

"God is movement. God is evolution. God is war. God is
peace. And the greatest sin of all is when we are consigned
to see the half of it, when the light of creation is divided into
good and evil, right and wrong, between what is divine and
not divine, when we choose sides instead of choosing life.
All things in God's creation have meaning and purpose, and
all things and beings can be joined to the heart of God."

As the twelve stands of DNA are activated within us, we find
ourselves given a third choice to right or wrong. Instead of
judging, we act in a manner that is counter intuitive to what
we have been taught. When someone speaks harshly to us,
we step back and react from a place of neutrality. We look
inside ourselves and ask, "When have I been harsh with another?
When have I been short tempered?" We choose to forgive
ourselves first and then the other person. Think about it. When
you look back on behavior you aren't so proud of, don't you want
to be forgiven? Don't you want that other person you hurt to let
go of the wrong you did? Doing this creates a new vibration on
earth and it is anchored into the earth grid every time we make
that neutral choice. Isn't not easy but it is something to strive for.

Dresner wrote, "Abraham recognized the glory of one God,
Moses revealed the law, Buddha begged compassion, Jesus
Christ asked forgiveness, and what I am saying is that there is
more to contribute, still more to ask ourselves, more to learn
and more to become, but these higher planes of consciousness
can only be achieved in a remarkable state of togetherness and
accommodation."

Each great teacher contributed something to mankind. Jesus told
us, "and greater things than this shall you do." It is up to every
one of us to help shift out of this game. Maybe since it is an
election year, begin by seeing each side as having some value. It is
not about Democrats or Republicans; it is about Life and helping
our world grow and evolve. "These higher planes of consciousness
can only be achieved in a remarkable state of togetherness and
accommodation." Namaste. ❦
