The process of dispelling excess or negative energy or unwanted emotion and placing it back into the ground. This is done by touching the ground or floor with the palms of your hands or the soles of your feet, and by eating and drinking.

Grounding can be done at any time. Times to ground yourself include before meditation, before and after magical workings, before and after dealing with groups of people and any other situation where high amount of energies or emotion are present. Also, it is good to ground yourself whenever you wish to take a "magical stance" and connect yourself to Mother Earth.
