Consciousness Known by Rhonda O'Brien

Grounding is very important for many reasons. One of the most important reasons for being grounded is so that you are fully aware, present and making the most of this life experience. Life is a gift; it is important to "be here" to enjoy ever single moment of it.

If we are ungrounded some of our experiences tend to be "out there" and it is hard for us to relate or have people relate to us. While being "out there" is enticing and wonderful we do have these precious, few moments here on Earth and we benefit by making the most of this life experience, in these bodies, here on Earth.

The following is an grounding exercise taken from His Words, channeled by Rhonda O'Brien.

Breath is a very easy tool to use to get you into a relaxed state. If you imagine that the breath that you inhale and exhale travels through your body and reaches every particle of your body you are already there. So what I suggest is that you take a deep inhale; make it last as long as you comfortably can.
As you inhale imagine a single molecule of that breath, it can be a bright light, a speck or any sort of shape and form that you can easily and effortlessly imagine, going from your lips and following your trachea and going through your shoulders, down your upper arms and down your lower arms and out through your fingertips. You should then imagine following the same path as you exhale.

With the next inhale you are going to follow that molecule and make it to your neck, your shoulders, your upper chest, your heart, your lungs, your chest, your abdomen, all of your upper and lower intestines and then your reproductive organs.

The more visual you become the easier it is for you to breathe and to relax. You do not need to get too, too technical here. If you don’t know exactly where your ovaries are it is fine. The visualization part is what matters most here. Then you want to imagine that molecule traveling the same path as you exhale and release that breath.

Good job, now we are going to inhale and this time the molecule will rapidly meet your thighs and then travel all the way down to your tippy toes and then right back up. While you are doing this I want you to start thinking of the world, the universe outside of yourself and I want you to be aware of the fact that you are infinitely connected with the rest of the universe outside of yourself. This can just extend to your family and friends or it can expand to the outer universe as far as the eye can see and beyond.

So with your next inhale I am going to have you take that molecule of breath, allow it to flow through your body, down to your toes and then down to the Earth. Depending on how deep your breath is it can reach the topsoil or even as far down as the mantle of the Earth.

Now the challenge is in your next breath you are going to inhale so much oxygen that you can reach the very center of the Earth. So as you are exhaling you are preparing for the gigantic inhale that you are about to take. With one, single breath you are going to pull that single molecule through your trunk of your body, down your legs, out your toes and to the central part of the Earth. Once you are at central part of the Earth you are going to sense, feel or just know that you are connected to the very core of our Mother Earth and then with your exhale you are going to follow that same path through the mantle, crust and up your toes, through your legs and on up your spine through your midriff, your chest, your neck and out through your lips.

We (each and every one of us) all have spirit guides whose life purpose is to guide and protect us. Use your spirit guides as often as possible.

How do you make contact with your spirit guides?

I strongly recommend reading Sonia Choquette's Ask Your Guides. She has many hints, exercises and meditations that will help you contact your guides on a regular basis.


How do you know which spirit guide you are talking to?

I often talk to my grandpa and grandma so I am already fairly familiar with their energy. My grandpa was not very talkative in real life so when he is around I either feel his hands on my shoulders and/or hear "chiropractor" (he was a chiropractor) and then I know that it is him. With my grandma I either hear the word "grandma" or I hear her voice.

I also see flashes of white lights or subtle energy patterns which make me aware that my guides are trying to talk to me.

Your guides might develop their own, individual ways of getting your attention as well.

PLEASE NOTE: it is very important to know the source of the information that you are getting. I also check the information that I get before I act on most information especially information that prompts me to "go out on a limb." I either draw from my divination cards or I ask for signs.

A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows. ~St. Francis of Assisi

This is the easiest and most critical piece of advice that I can give anyone who communicates with the spirit realm: surround yourself in white light. Darkness is repelled by the light. It is the perfect antidote to darkness and it is so easy.
