  1. Returning to the grounding meditation, remember that stream of White Light Energy you pulled up from the Earth? Now is the time to take it a step further. Again, starting with the root, imagine that stream of earth energy now flowing up and out through your root chakra. Imagine it flowing like an open faucet, gallons and gallons of white light energy flushing right through the root chakra. At Britta Jean you can learn more about.
