4 Ways to Connect with the Earth’s Energy, by Melissa Alvarez

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

The Earth has its own unique frequency of energy vibration, which can have transformative effects on your life when you connect with it. And, some locations (such as sacred sites, power places, ley lines, manmade places, or natural formations) are better than others for connecting with this powerful energy becasue they have a concentrated, amplified, spiritual energy with transformational power—and often a connection to the divine. Connecting to these places can lead you to higher levels of consciousness and a deeper, wiser understanding of life. Earth's frequency can also provide you with healing energy should you need it.

Have you ever visited a place and sensed a feeling of peacefulness? Or perhaps you felt a vibration coming from the ground beneath your feet, or the air suddenly had a different quality about it that sent your intuition into overdrive? The ability to sense the energy of other people and the energy of the Earth falls under the category of being an empath. Many highly sensitive empaths find it difficult to be in a crowded room because they feel overwhelmed by the energy and emotions of so many people at once. If the energy of the place is strong as well, then those feelings can be multiplied.

The best way to learn to connect with Earth's frequency is to begin with your own frequency. Being able to differentiate between your own energy, the energy and emotions of others, and the energy of the place can help you separate the feelings so you can deal with them one at a time, which prevents you from draining your own energy. When you know what your own frequency feels like at a soul level then you have a great starting point in recognizing other frequencies around you. Learning to recognize that any energy coming from outside of you (and not from within you) will help you recognize that the energy is coming from another person or from a place.

Let's take a look at four different techniques you can use to connect with sacred sites, power places, vortexes—or any place where Earth's frequency is found.

1. Visiting Sacred Sites.
When choosing locations to visit in person, start with ones that you feel drawn to and are close to where you live. Plan an entire day for the trip to the location so you don't feel pressed for time. When you arrive, pay attention to even the smallest details of the place. Notice the plants, any structures (both natural and manmade), and allow yourself to wander around. As you do, open your senses to the energy around you. Make note of any physical things you feel, like a tingling on the back of your neck, goosebumps on your arms, feelings of pressure on your body, or any changes to your internal temperature that make you feel hot or cold. Often you'll experience a connection to the energy of a place unexpectedly when you touch something at the location or simply by walking through a vortex of energy, which often makes it feel like a chill just ran through your soul. Being aware of the energy around you enables you to feel even the slightest changes in the frequency of the place. You may even feel like you need to go back through the area again just to confirm the energy changes you felt the first time.

If there aren’t any specific locations near you, taking a walk in nature will allow you to find new power places. You'll know because you'll feel a change in the energy, whether slight or strong, that heightens your intuitive awareness. It will make you feel more energized but will also bring about a feeling of peacefulness and a deep connection to the Earth's energy at that moment in time. You don't always have to visit famous sites to be transformed by Earth's frequency. You may encounter a place right in your own neighborhood that resonates so deeply within you that it is transformative.

2. Connecting Remotely
For many people it may not be possible, (possibly due to time, health, or financial constraints) to just drop everything and book a flight to a far-off place on the other side of the planet to visit distant lands. You can still benefit from Earth's frequency in far away locations by remotely connecting to the energy of the place. There are several ways to establish a remote connection to sacred sites and power places around the world. Begin by looking at pictures of the area, watching videos of the place, reading the history of the area, including information about what life is like for the people who live there now and what it was like for people during ancient times. Make sure to include pictures and information about any specific parts of the area that the locals believe to be sacred, divine, or holy.

Reading about the place, its history, and gathering more information will give you an overall understanding of the location. (There is a lot of this information already included in Earth Frequency, so you don't have to do a ton of research on your own.) Once you've gotten an overview of the place, open your senses, allow your intuition to heighten, and look at the information you've collected; then try to feel the energy associated with the place. Make note of how it vibrates and moves through you. Can you pick up specific feelings of positivity or the energy of the people who lived there? If the site was used for sacrifices or war you may feel the fear of the people or their strength and determination. If the area is home to a vortex, you may feel its frequency move around and through your own energy, lifting it up and transforming it into even higher and more powerful frequencies.

3. Visualization Techniques.
Using creative visualization while visiting a sacred site or power place can increase the frequency connection between your inner spiritual self and the power held within the frequency of the place. When visualizing, it is important to always be clear and focused with your intention from the beginning when you recognize the energy of the place, until the end when you disconnect from the place in your mind's eye. Set a specific intention prior to beginning. For instance, if you want to use creative visualization to visit the pyramids of Giza, what do you intend to accomplish? Do you want to view the chambers within the pyramids, or do you prefer to stay outside and interact with the grounds? Would you like to tune in to the vortex energy of a place, or maybe you'd prefer to experience the energy imprint left by those who lived there during ancient times, or maybe you'd like to do both? Sometimes it's good to just go into the exercise with the intention of, "Show me what I need to know or feel" and let the Universe guide you.

Due to the sensitive nature of empaths and intuitives, you might find that doing a creative visualization technique is too overwhelming. If this is the case, then I recommend doing what I call a Filter Shield Visualization. This exercise helps you to gradually acclimate to strong energies held within a sacred site or power place. If you're physically in the place, walk away from it until you no longer feel overwhelmed. If you're remotely connecting with the place, then imagine that you're distancing yourself from the place until you no longer feel affected by its energy. Now, using creative visualization, build a circular brick wall around you making sure to close it above your head. Now move back toward the center of the site where the energy was overwhelming you, knowing that the energy will no longer affect you because it can't penetrate the wall. Now imagine tiny holes being created in the wall to allow the energy to come though a little at a time. These holes are your filtering device and will only allow so much energy to make its way to you. Gradually imagine more and more holes opening, while giving yourself time to adjust to the higher strengths until you can bring down the wall and not feel overwhelmed. You may feel the need to leave some of the filter shield in place while visiting the site instead of bringing it all down, and that's perfectly fine, too.

4. Chakra Connections.
Just as we all have a chakra system within our body, the Earth, too, has its own unique chakra system. When you connect your chakras to the frequency of the Earth, you can clear and stabilize your own chakras. To do this, you'll first find a place at the site where the frequency feels very strong and where you can sit quietly (whether in person or if you're remotely visiting) and feel the energy of the place. Now, close your eyes and feel the site's energy move upward into your body to your root chakra. Imagine it moving in sync with your energy as it cleanses negativity and balances the energy within the chakra so it moves easily and freely within you. Once you feel that the chakra is clear, imagine Earth's frequency moving in the opposite direction within your chakra, with the intention of removing any leftover negativity that may have been hiding. When all negative energy has been discovered, imagine Earth's frequency flowing back in sync with your chakra's energy flow. Do this for each of your chakras; once you have fully cleansed the crown chakra imagine the chakra closing, retaining part of Earth's frequency within it, and then move back down your body doing the same for each of your chakras. Once you've closed the root chakra, imagine Earth's frequency flowing back into the ground, taking all the negativity it cleansed from your chakras with it. Before you open your eyes, take a moment to feel how Earth's frequency has attuned and balanced your chakras. Thank the Earth for sharing its energy with you, and disconnect your energy from Earth's frequency. When you're ready, open your eyes, stand up, and enjoy the rest of your time at the site.

Taking the time to visit these sacred sites and power places and experiencing Earth's frequency in these locations can give you inner peace, bring clarity of your soul's purpose, and bring more abundance to your life. Sometimes it can be so transformative that you look at life differently after the experience. Embark on a path of self-discovery through interaction with Earth's frequency for a wonderful, spiritual experience that can bring many positive changes to your life.

I sought the advice of a psychic. I first gave her $300.00. I could afford this. Now she tells me I need to pay $27,000 to obtain the materials I need to promote healing and rid my life of problems. I was very overwhelmed and frightened by this, and told her that I can't afford this and that we should let this go and let God handle it all from here on out. Her response was that she will have to invest the money herself to save all those involved, and that she will need to take a mortgage out on her home. I feel this is just plain scary and she is not thinking of her own family by spending this money without knowing if she will get it back or not. I am trying not to feel guilty about this. I told her that I can't do this. My husband would just have a fit if I actually gave her the $27,000.

Astrea:

Zonkers, Batgirl! Gather all the information you can about this so-called psychic, turn off your computer, and call the police! Report this person immediately, before she mortgages her home to save someone else. This scam has been going on for centuries. You're being duped, played, fooled, cheated, defrauded, and harmed; some of the stuff she is doing is CRIMINAL.

With the explosion of the internet, incidents of this kind of crime have gone up in astounding numbers. Everywhere there is evidence that the people who used to be content with conning us out of five bucks for a bad reading are out to get everything we have. It's so much easier for them to work people now.

A fake psychic can send thousands of emails that say, I just looked at your astrological chart and I have something extremely urgent to tell you. Your happiness and the lives of your family depend upon you getting back to me right away! This is similar in nature to all those emails about winning millions in some foreign lottery, which we can claim by turning over our bank account numbers.

This person did this to you in person, however, so she'll be easier to catch. It's so easy to be taken in by someone who appears to be an expert. It's also very disheartening to realize that someone who has sworn to help you is just trying to rip you off.

We go to healers, psychics, and medical doctors for help, never suspecting that someone might take advantage of our trust. You trusted this person. She made sure of that. She's been trained since she was a little girl to make you trust her. You're darned right your husband would have a fit if he knew that you even considered giving her that kind of cash!

I know just how she went about getting you to feel the way you do. Don't feel stupid. So many people fall for these criminals that in some cities, the police department has officers assigned to investigate these blood-sucking leeches.

That psychic IS an expert...CROOK! Chances are your local law enforcement agency already has information and a long list of the things she and her family have been doing to people in your area. If you could help them prove that she's guilty of criminal activity, you could save a lot of grief for a lot of unsuspecting, innocent people.

Contact the authorities in your area. They'll know exactly what to do to rid you of your problems - you won't need psychic help for that.

Susyn:

It sounds like you've encountered a very unethical person. Unfortunately, there are people out there who will capitalize on unsuspecting clients by using very frightening or manipulative tactics to scam people out of thousands of dollars.

Under no circumstances should you give her that kind of money. Even $300 is a high price to pay for an initial psychic reading. Her claim that she will take out a mortgage on her house to save all the people involved is simply a tactic to make you feel scared, guilty, gullible and vulnerable.

There is no problem you could possibly have that would require that type of payment, and if you encounter her again, even I would love to know what she is planning to purchase to rid you of your troubles! Her request is nothing short of ridiculous.

Here's one thing to keep in mind when you are seeking the advice of a psychic: you should feel relieved, empowered and hopeful at the end of a session, not frightened, worried or guilt-ridden. Psychics who complete a session and then insist your troubles are so huge that you need to pay them a large some of money are simply trying to play you for a fool.

A sincere, authentic psychic is there to help you release your fears and worries and give you valuable direction and insight. You should feel much more calm, clear and at peace following your first session. After that, you are the one who decides if you want to return for follow-up sessions or work on a particular issue with them. I'd venture to say you didn't feel any better when you left your first session, and probably wish you had spent your money on something else.

I encourage you to report this woman to your local authorities, as she has most likely tried this scam on other people. These so called psychics have been known to bilk people out of tens of thousands of dollars. For those of us who are genuine, conscientious, professional psychic counselors, it's really disheartening to hear about this sort of thing.

I'm sorry to hear you had such a frightening experience. Trust me: you don't have to worry about something bad happening to you or other people in your life if you don't pay her this money. The real trouble would come if you did buy into her cockamamie story. If you let the authorities know what she is up to, you may prevent a lot of other people from being victimized by her scams, which should bring you good karma and good fortune.

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
