Excerpted from: Green Witchcraft III" by Ann Moura
Grounding Ritual with a Stone
Rocks are the bones of the earth, and contain the power to aid in your own stomach, while energy moves downward from your head and past your throat. the energy coming downward begins to pool around your sholders and upper chest with the energy moving upward. Now, with the stone resting in your hand, see these turbulent energies cascade as twin waterfalls down your arms, through your hands, and into the stone. Feel the stone pulse and grow warm with the energy. Bless the energy within the stone:
"I bless thee fire of life,
that through that you were
excessive for me to hold.
May the Mother Earth receive you
that you may work for Her well-being."
Lay the stone on the ground and cover it with dirt. This allows the energy to dissipate in the earth, to be utilized for healing or growth as the earth sees fit. After three days, you can retrieve your stone. Wash it off (using a garden hose is fine) and put the stone in a container where you can then cover it with spring water. Let it soak for another three days for cleansing, remove from the water and let dry in the sun. Your grounding stone is ready to use again.
