[@PumpkinMozie]

I’ve always been taught to ground and center before spell work because it helps you focus your intention, raises your energy for the ritual, and prevents you from bringing any unnecessary emotions into the spell. In my opinion, grounding and centering beforehand is even more important than afterward (altho I think both are important)!

[@erikaweber_]

What about centering and banishing first, let’s say LBRP and then grounding later?

[@Kobra10880]

When I basically just don't wear shoes at summer, and then I found out that's all this time I've been earthing 👌

[@TheFabFash]

SAME. I've noticed feeling so much more at peace with everything when I'm in the park, for example, with my shoes off, then Olivia comes along and tells us that this is actually a thing.

[@harmonium5495]

[@helenkirkby597]

I keep seeing people label themselves as "baby," "intermediate," etc. witches and I assume this is based on some vague amount of knowledge or experience. A "baby witch" or rather, a beginning practitioner of magick, is someone who after creating an intent manifests their result after some time. To anyone but them It might as well have been a coincidence if not for the practitioner's intent and practices. An intermediate practitioner of magick is someone who after creating an intent also waits for their result. However, this practitioner is receptive to signs regarding his or her working. They focus on the "why" of their intent and "who" the forces are that guide them. They might predict when, where, or how their result will manifest. An advanced practitioner of magick is someone whose intent is synchronized with manifestation. Thus they are as much the product of magick as the magick they perform. As you can see, magick means different things to different stages of practitioner. To the beginner, when things change according to their will, they've "performed magick." To the intermediate, when they are able to understand why things change as well as their will, "magick has occurred." To the advanced, everything is magick. They can't NOT do magick. Change is their stability.

KEBDKRH weirdest thing happened, I have a file for panic attack aid cause I get them quite often. And I didn’t touch the save button at all and it saved into that file. So thank you

[@YamiHikariHime]

These things are actually super important for mental health too. They are mindful strategies that help shape the prefrontal cortex to work in a way that helps regulate our emotions. Its so amazing how witchcraft and spell work is so intertwined in mental and physical health.

[@sarahbethh]

for shielding i have a protection sigil that i visualize in the air and then slowly growing and expanding and wrapping around me

Welcome back Olivia, I hope you're all well

[@nn-ek5jj]

I’m a Pisces man. Very sensitive empath. The information you have provided us is very essential to anyone, weather you practice or not. Thank you for this beautifully made relaxed video. I work at a hospital. I feel as if I absorb all energy around me. I feel a multitude of energies. I started unhealthy habits like to much coffee/nicotine and kratom just to numb all this. Thank you, I’m tearing up. Because I needed this information badly! I thought I needed therapy! All I need are these methods of protecting my energy and grounding. I’m tired of these bad habits. Where do I find people like you? You are an amazing person! I will teach these methods to my kids someday. This should be taught in school.

[@caseygibson8]

It’s crazy learning how much I was already naturally inclined to do before I was aware it was part of people’s practices. I love your explanations!

[@destinyking1294]

I literally learned all of this in therapy cuz my therapist was a hippy, just like me😂 but yes this 110% works and helps with daily life and daily stress

[@EmpoweredCrystals]

These are such great techniques. I'll be doing all of these

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

How do you do any of these practices?

[@satanswife2546]

Yes, almost every once in a while all of them

[@luomi131]

With shielding, my mum taught me a thing. Stand and take a few deep breaths, then from the ground to the top of your head zip up like a sleeping bag, but you leave the top open for the sun energy to reach you - but it will block all the negative energy from people around you. Really helped me out as a kid in a very rowdy class!

[@rosemaryfox9212]

I don't shield often (I really need to more), but I usually visualize a sparkling layer of energy surrounding me. It really helps because I pick up others energies like it's hot (it's not hot, its tiring). The roots visualization has always been my fav grounding, I use it to pass energy back and forth as a way of filtering as well as just borrowing some. My centering usually is just deep breathing and focusing on that, though that practice sould use some expansion!

[@zo4658]

I really appreciate how you describe these things especially the centering one. I’ve always heard it described as feeling your energy around you and pulling it into the center of your body and I’ve always just been really confused and struggled with it but this approach to it makes much more sense to me and seems easier to achieve if that makes sense. As always your videos are super helpful and calming to watch thank you!!

[@Authorisabellekooreman]

I love this video! All these terms are used interchangeably all the time but this video actually highlights the differences and practical ways to do them. So good.

[@pragyasingh2297]

I have to make all of these a part of my daily routine. Bc each day I take the time to do this, I feel so much better

[@hunterkillerslayer1264]

I ground and center at the beginning of my spellwork so that I can pour more energy into my spell without using up my personal energy. I don’t have a very large “battery” either, so grounding and soaking up all that earth energy before I use it keeps me from running out during the ritual or from not powering my spells enough.

[@jujudiamond97]

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

[@dahlia.artistry]

Been getting into witchcraft and so much of it reminds me of things I've done in therapy and treatment

[@naomiaki1437]

I am not a witch but about grounding, like you described it, I think I have found something for myself: bathing in cold water. It makes me feel and therefore connect to my surroundings und then feel and connect to myself in the moment. It also gives me energy. Not sure if that counts tho, I used this especiallly after studying :)

[@finnic7959]

Earthing is great and I'd like to encourage people to look up what forest bathing is. If you're not into walking barefoot, extending your arm and letting your finger tips touch plants as you walk by or instead of walking through, shuffle through piles of leaves, or you can also just sit or lie on a rock or the ground, feel and listen and my favorite....pet the moss. See moss? Gently pet it with a finger these are good techniques especially for folks who live in more urban areas and barefoot is not really an option.

[@FedUpWFat]

Earthing explains why I feel so happy and in tune while at the beach! It's a place where your body can be completely connected to the land and water ❤

[@BlackDoomsOpinion]

If you're going outside to "earth" you don't really need to take your shoes off. If you take a walk for a hour or two with shoes you're going to start ground your energy but, when you go inside after a hour or two the energy you gathered will equalize. Add a energy meditation like chi gong (aka Chinese yoga) or yoga or any movement exercise your energy levels increase. You also want to practice these inside not just outside in my own opinion.

[@User39123]

I works in social work and our office was on an old school campus that had a little stream and park. When I would do my daily phone calls, I’d go and take my shoes off and walk on the ground while talking to the families and when I did this all of my calls went 90% better than they would have as I stayed calm and unbothered which helped others to calm faster.

[@LiaM88777]

When I was a kid I was afraid of the dark when going to the toilet at night and I was imagining a huge group of monsters coming to get me from the dark. I love singing so I naturally started singing when this happened and I was naturally visualizing how the sounds and the notes going out of my mouth were creating a huge transparent bubble around me and the fear/monsters couldn’t reach me anymore and the more I sang the stronger the shield was. I still do it when I’m scared and I’m fascinated that I was doing it naturally without knowing any of those practices. Thank you for your help, Olivia and best of luck to everyone!

[@Witchywoman13]

Thank you so much for all of this! I’ve done most all of this instinctively as an empath. Now, it’s just learning mindfulness and more directed methods. I shielded today at work. It’s a new job and it’s a major adjustment. Then, when I got home I literally took my shoes off and embalmed through wet muddy grass in the rain. I was earthing and grounding. And, I put car magnets on my car which helps to center and recharge me. Creative outlets are a big way to recharge for me. I have a very physically demanding job that’s not creative but as a single parent I have to have a steady income and benefits.

[@kaarenremley7585]

Someone taught me this early on. I'm an empath and found a home health aide client's inner turmoil exhausting... so my friend suggested I embody a flower in a pot... where the flower accepts the energy and helps it release into the earth... so I can be ok with other people's pain and allow it to transform into clean, pure energy.

[@ziarose8163]

[@zenz0ha472]

This is extremely helpful in learning how energy works in the world, how to understand it when you can sense those energies and how to deal with it when it becomes too much or too little. Witchcraft feels more and more like science every day, but still is a very curious thing.
