[MythiCalia] on workshops and energy work

> How many of you regularly meditate or do energy work? 

Not in any disciplined, regular fashion (e.g. every morning, although I 
do go through bursts of a few weeks to a few months where I do that), 
but I've been doing both of these things for at least ten, maybe up to 
fifteen years? (depends where you peg me on "getting serious" when I was 
a teenager)

> how much do you know about grounding and centering? 

Enough that I would personally be somewhat bored by Yet Another Workshop 
on these. ;) (not to insult, I know it's a topic some people need help with)

 > What are your techniques?

I usually do the "visualize a cord going into the Earth" style, although 
sometimes that is "not Right" and I find myself wanting to ground to 
stars or something else. I don't think I actually do much centering, 
actually, although I know what it is and how one is supposed to do it. 
Just not something I personally tend to include in my repertoire.

 > How important do you rate it?

Hrm. That depends on the individual situation. I seem to be a fairly 
good natural ground, nay even power-sink sometimes, so I am rarely in a 
flighty, over-energetic, useless state where grounding is a needed 
"antidote". That said, cycling energy up from the land (or down from the 
sky) and round again is a good "cleansing, opening" practice.
