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)!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

At 7:50 when you describe why you ground yourself *after* spell work, my mind was blown and it makes so much sense. I am a natural manifest-or and I come from a long line of powerful, magickal women, but didn’t start any personal practice until very recently. My first healing ritual for my nephew, I felt so drained and tired and I knew I over did it, energetically. What I didn’t know was *why*... Now I know- I’d only ever heard of ground prior to casting, not after. EVEEER. So I would close the circle and complete my intention and be done. I’m going to try things differently next time to see how it works - thank you for this video and I hope you had a lovely break from KZbin!!! You deserve it and we appreciate the good you put into the world 💜⭐️🤗

These are good points to do, sometimes even us older witches forget to do some of the basic shields when we know we are going into a stressful shield. Mind being too preoccupied and forget until realizing later. These are good things to get into a habit of doing. Thanks Olivia.

Omg that first tip is helpful in day to day life. I have GAD and ADHD bad and everything is always impulse sporadic I've heard of centering but not had it explained. Thank you.

I live in California, in one of the first cities to have quarantined. I've gone outside just four times since March in an attempt to limit the spread of a certain virus, and also out of fear of the people who *aren't* making an effort to limit the spread (i.e. not wearing a mask, or lashing out at those who do). As a result I've been incredibly stressed, burnt out, and disconnected from my practice. This video really encouraged me to get back into it, as well as prioritize self-care. Thank you, Olivia.
