a quick guide on grounding with the sea or ocean for you beach bums
sea grounding:
🌊 prepare yourself with appropriate sunblock measures!
🌊 (to the best of your ability) stand barefooted on the beach where the waves can reach and recede from you
🌊 visualize:
every wave over your feet pulls you closer to the center of the earth, burying you.
you are becoming part of the earth.
push your old energies out, let the sand exfoliate them from you
the water that washes over you brings new, fresh energy. it soaks into you with the cold and the wet
🌊 when you are ready, step away from the water gently. you are not severing the ties harshly, only letting them fall away, the way the tide releases you
If you require seashells for your alter or for a spell or blessing, wait until you or your family and/or friends go out for sushi or seafood, then ask the server if you can keep the leftover shells from oyster/clam/muscle dishes. 9 times out of 10 they will happily give you a takeout box and some beautiful shells!
