Grounding
Techniques
Many
people suffering from anxiety episodes often feel ungrounded
and disorganized. There is a pervasive sense of "things
falling apart." When anxiety episodes occur, it often
takes a concentrated effort just to get through the day, accomplishing
such basic daily tasks as cooking, housecleaning, taking care
of children, or getting to work or school. The next two exercises
teach you grounding techniques that will help you feel more
centered and focused. Practicing either of these exercises
will allow you to organize your energies and proceed more
effectively with your daily routine.
All smokers think they are just smoking, they are actually
deep breathing and getting grounded at the same time as they
are getting poisoned by the toxins, but they do take time
all day to BREATHE, the rest of us shallow breathe. Act like
a smoker, without the cigarettes, just breathe deep all the
time.
Remember that Tonya can also do a healing
for you and teach you some techniques that apply just to you.
Remember to ask her those during your reading.
Grounding Chord Meditation
Sit in a comfortable position, your arms resting comfortably
at your sides.
Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Let your breathing be
slow and relaxed.
Imagine a thick wide chord attaching itself to the base of
your spine. This is your grounding chord. It can be a thick
piece of rope, a tree trunk, or any other material that feels
strong and stable. Make sure your chord is wide and sturdy
enough. Then imagine a thick metal hook attaching itself to
the end of your chord.
Now visualize your grounding chord dropping down two hundred
feet below the earth and hooking on to the solid bedrock below
the earth.
Continue to breathe deeply and notice the sense of peace and
stability that your grounding chord can bring you.
Replace the chord with a new one each day or whenever you
feel your emotions getting out of control.
The Tree Meditation
Stand or sit straight up - your spine must be perpendicular
to the Earth's surface. Sitting against a tree is really neat
but not necessary. Take four (or however many you desire)
deep inhalations and exhalations and get your mind in the
right space.
Visualize that you are breathing in golden-white light - this
is prana. Prana is more than air; it is the life force that
sustains all things. As you breathe begin to notice those
areas of your body that are tense. Breathe prana into those
areas and relax the tension. Start with the top of your head
and work your way down to your toes.
This next step is very important. Visualize that you are on
a bridge that spans a body of water. Go to the top of the
bridge and put all your thoughts, concerns, cares, and worries
about your mundane life into a bag. Tie the bag closed and
throw it into the water. Watch the bag float for a time and
then see it sink down.
Now VISUALIZE your spine and body as a tree trunk. See and
feel roots growing from your legs (or tailbone if sitting)
and send them into Mother Earth. Let your roots tap deeply
and send them to the Earth's center. There you will see a
glowing silver-blue ball. Allow your roots to wrap around
the ball like fingers. Think to yourself that this ball is
the heart of the mother, the stone, the center, the home of
our ancestors and the realm of the ancient ones. Then allow
the energy from the ball to rise up your roots and feel the
Earth's energy (the power of immanence, the power within)
to fill your body.
Feel the energy travel up your spine into your head. Feel
it come out of the top of your head and fall down upon you
like a fountain. Feel it fill your entire body and being.
Next, VISUALIZE that there are branches full of leaves coming
up from your head and shoulders. Allow them to grow way upwards.
Allow your branches to wrap around the sun and to take in
the light so that you may bear "fruit"-the fruits
of wisdom, intelligence, creativity, etc. Feel the energy
come down the branches and let it fill your entire body and
being right down to your feet. You are now grounded and centered
with two energy circuits moving within you.
Tonya can also do a healing for you and teach you some techniques
that apply just to you. Remember
to ask her during your reading.
What
Tonya's Clients Say:
Hi
Tonya,
Just
wanted to say thank you for the reading last
night. You've really opened my eyes and my heart
up. You've gotten me really motivated about
going to flight school, as you told me I would
succeed and get a job flying (even if it's corporate
and not airlines). You also told me my twin
flame is incarnated in this lifetime, and that
I have the potential to meet him during my flight
training if I were to truly give up my marriage,
which truly does need to end since he is cheating
on me.
Just an update: Whatever you did for me changed
me once I woke up this morning. I cleaned my
room literally from top to bottom, and am considering
painting it in the next week (hey, if my husband's
moving out, I want my time here to be nice and
peaceful). I also scrubbed the bathroom spotless...
something that I don't see often with 2 sons
and a husband here. You really gave me a sense
of peace about him leaving. I've decided to
stick it out and wait for my husband (hopefully
you remember what you had told me about him
getting all this out of his system for about
18 months - 4 years.). Even if it means that
I miss meeting my twin flame, I remember the
story you told me about the lady who was with
her twin flame that she left him, and he went
to Mexico and died, then ended up with someone
sterile. Anyhow, I'm not willing to risk losing
the special bond that we've felt and shared,
and that is still there. So, I'm sticking it
out.
I'm
going to concentrate on school after summer,
and until then, earning enough money to get
me to school. If HE decides to leave me permanently,
then I have comfort in knowing that my twin
flame is potentially in my very near future,
and either way I will end up happy.
Thanks again for the reading, and the peace
you've given me, and the confidence to let go
of him, hopefully temporarily. Thanks again,
and I'll be talking to you again when I'm so
desperately lost in life, you are always the
one that I call and you always help me in more
ways then you will ever know.

Hi
Tonya,
Thank you so much. I don't know how you do what
you do but I thank God, guides, angels, and
higher powers that brought me to you. I will
never forgot or lose sight of all you do.
I know I have said that to you a lot but as
a therapist who works with so many people and
never knows if it helps or if I made a difference
i feel the urge to always let you know how grateful
and thankful I am for you and everything you
do. Not just for me but for all the peoples
lives you touch.
I was talking to my therapist today who actually
called you because she was so amazed by the
work from last time. She spoke very highly of
you. She probably never told you this but she
is actually really famous in the field of psychology.
She has published textbooks and her work is
known world wide. She doesn't really have a
lot of client anymore she spends most of her
time teaching, researching, and writing. I was
talking to her today about everything going
on and she was actually the one who suggested
I ask you about a healing on J. So whatever
you did for her she seems to be very impressed
by you.
I am constantly referring you and will continue
to as long as you continue to take referrals.
You are amazing! I actually have another friend
who will probably be contacting you in the next
week or so. I can't ever say enough good things
about you. I don't know how you do what you
do but your work always proves to be nothing
short of amazing. I always knew there is/was
a piece of therapy missing.
