The Difference Between Meditation and Grounding

“What is the difference between meditation and grounding? Is one more important than the other? And what about grounding our animals?”

There’s a huge difference between meditation and grounding as you’ll soon discover for yourself.

Beyond that, you need to know how – and when – to apply them with animals in your communication work to get the best results.

First, there are many different ways to meditate. Some work very well, and some… not so much.

I began meditating in the mid 1980’s, and I’ve discovered that some meditative techniques are helpful, but others…? Meh.

Because not all meditations are the same. Not even close.

via GIPHY

What are the best Meditations for animal communicators?

The reason I developed the unique and powerful Heart Wisdom Love Connection and Healing Meditation is because it is the BEST way to focus, to connect heart to heart, and get your mind chatter out of the way so it doesn’t distract or hijack your practice.

The Heart Wisdom Love Meditation is about quieting and focusing properly, clearing out mental head trash, transforming energy and emotions into love energy, FEELING (not thinking), so you can align, harmonize, and synchronize all levels of body, mind, spirit and Soul.

If you’d like to experience it for yourself, I guide students through it in every Live Q&A Coaching Call for Animal Talk Coaching & Mastery Club Members, offered the second Saturday of each month, and I occasionally offer a more advanced version for our advanced students and professional practitioners in the Heart Wisdom Masterclasses.

Incorporating a few of the basic and many of the advanced Soul Repair healing processes and techniques (taught in my “Soul Repair Healing 30 Day Intensive Program“), I always do group healing for everyone who needs it (pets and people).

That includes a sacred healing water infusion to restore vital lifeforce both in the water molecules inside our bodies AND in our drinking water, and to help eliminate and neutralize toxins.

Focusing on accessing, expanding and guiding love energy frequencies, we then use that energy to connect, Soul to Soul, heart to heart with animals before we begin the communication.

I clear any “nasties” (dark energies) out of the student’s energy field.

Next I clear mind control including upleveling and cleaning your pineal gland so you can enjoy a better, stronger connection with faster access to the Divine for Guidance.

There’s more that I do behind the scenes for everyone on the call with the assistance of the Archangels and other high level love beings who are assisting and helping, like raising intelligence on all facets, balancing all chakras (major, sub chakras, and minor chakras), improving back alignment and dental healing, relieving pain, cool things like that.

All of which only takes a few minutes when I’m working at the 12D levels, because that’s the space where miracles are possible.

When you know how to meditate at this level, then you’ll feel the profoundly healing shift and access high level wisdom, crystal clarity, aches and pains ease, and you are connected Soul to Soul. Which is why I call what I do the Heart Wisdom Methods.

… vs. Grounding

“Grounding” is about connecting and aligning your unique frequency and magnetic polarity with the universal energy field and Mother Earth, anchoring yourself, sending your energy down through your body and out your feet so you don’t get lost in “space”.

And yes, we do this too as part of our meditation and focusing process.

A good analogy for grounding could be how (and why) a ship drops anchor.

It’s about stabilizing, keeping the boat from being dashed against the rocks or drifting into trouble out of control.

Practically speaking, if your or your pets energy isn’t grounded and connected properly in alignment with Mother Earth, then you aren’t stable or in flow and can be easily manipulated, disconnect, or fly off into the stratosphere so you become lost in space.

Many types of meditation forget about grounding so students get so far out of their body, surfing the energy waves, and all up in their mind and upper chakras, that they literally leave their body.

You don’t want that.

That’s like leaving your house wide open so anyone can barge right in and take, steal, or mess up your stuff. ☹️

When we do this right, you are connected to the Divine Masculine “cosmic” energies AND the Divine Feminine “mother” energies.

You need both to be aligned to Heaven and Earth.

Yin and Yang.

mediation and grounding yin yang

Balanced, harmonious, in sync, congruent, connected, and in alignment.

After we do the Heart Wisdom Love Connection and Healing meditation in the Live Q&A Coaching Call class we discuss what the students experienced, and they often share about miracles of healing, how pains they’re been suffering from are literally gone, and how much better they feel.

For instance…

Nicole reported that after many years of effort trying to clean and keep her pineal gland working, it is now clear and strong.

She attributes this to our meditations and the healing she receives each month.

Nita used the healing water after class for herself with great results.

Then later when her dog Blackie wasn’t feeling well after worming, she felt inspired to offer some to him of the healing water too.

And, he shifted immediately, relaxed, and felt much better very quickly.

Now, let’s move onto answering the next question:

“So first we meditate to clear ourselves and create a “space” and then we ground at the end/before connecting. Did I get that right?”

No, not quite.

First you meditate to clear and focus your energy, activate ALL your intuitive senses, and connect with your Soul (heart) like you’ve experienced in the guided Love Connection meditations.

Your goal is to achieve a quiet, still mind, to silence and release your thoughts and emotions and inner stories, so your mind doesn’t distract, sabotage, interfere or hijack your communication causing you to misinterpret, misunderstand, gloss over or ignore animal’s messages.

Then you focus on connecting with animals, Soul to Soul, Heart to Heart, using your LOVE energy which connects us with all living beings.

At that point, you’re free to begin with a greeting and enjoy the conversation.

To be clear, when students follow my instructions precisely as I guide them in class, you are both grounded AND at the same time connected with the animals too.

Afterwards, it’s helpful to refocus on grounding by sending love to Mother Earth, anchoring your energy, feeling and sending love to your body.

It helps to wiggle your toes, stretch and smile.

Open your eyes, drink some water.

Last question for today is:

“What about grounding our animals every day, or when we want to have a session with them or when we think they need it?”

The bigger question is, do you need to ground? Or do they?

Because if you meditate and ground properly the way I teach you, then you’ll be able to assist them if they need it just by tuning into them from the Love Connection space.

Animals aren’t grounded just because their feet touch the earth. They are grounded when their energy flows properly through their legs and feet into the earth, same as you.

When you understand how and why your animals mirror you, and act out your stress, wounds and imbalances, you’ll become a better more effective communicator (and healer).

meditation and grounding mirroring

You cannot ground them if you are ungrounded yourself.

Although it’s very common for humans to be ungrounded most all the time, it’s not normal for an animal to be ungrounded.

So if the animal consistently shows up as ungrounded, then there is a reason for it.

Find out what’s going on with them.

Is it a block in their chakras, meridians, or wei qi?

Poor health, fear, or pain, a circulatory problem – where is it coming from? What started it?

If they’re mirroring you, then the problem isn’t with them, it’s within you.

That situation requires you doing your inner healing to clear what’s being reflected and projected.

Find out why they show up that way, and discuss it with them.

When you do this part right, you’ll both be better for it, and the grounding will last much longer so you’ll have much better results.

Here’s the thing:

If you don’t practice communicating or meditating and grounding correctly, you won’t get very far.

Like practicing the wrong golf swing a 1000 times won’t help and only reinforces “body memory and patterns” of how not to get the best results.

Like riding your horse or training your dog the wrong way doesn’t help.

Like practicing communicating with your own pets where you can’t get any objective validation or confirmation from an outside party to know when you are doing it right, what you missed, and where you got it wrong is not the best way to practice if you want to be a better, more confident communicator.

Like when you meditate, focused on the wrong things with a busy mind and mental projections, thinking it’s a waste of time and ending up more stressed than when you started.

Which is why we all need expert teachers to show us where we’re messing up, and lovingly guide us to improve so we get better results faster and easier.

“Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end, because once you get there you can move mountains.” ~ Steve Jobs

If you have been feeling stuck, walled off, or blocked in any way, or you are looking for new ways to grow your intuitive and healing abilities, or want to elevate your meditation abilities, then let’s sort that out sooner than later.

Students and professionals train with me to gain that “extra edge” by going above and beyond the ‘average’.

They know they can do better. BE better.

And THAT is what I’m all about.

Training you to be proficient at the highest level possible makes me a super happy camper, it’s my jam, the sun in my shine, and why I do what I do.

Working with me you’ll learn advanced and specific strategies, insights, and techniques to get greater results with every communication and healing session you do.

Which is what my Heart Wisdom Methods and Live Coaching in the Heart School of Animal Communication® are all about.

It’s also why I’ve dedicated so much of my life, education and training learning about helping people heal (45+ years), and translating those experiences so I can guide YOU to be the best you can possibly be.
