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.

It can be done at any time. Suggested times to ground yourself include before meditation, before and after magical workings, before and possibly after dealing with groups of people (teaching or other stressful situations), and before and after 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.
