Re: what exactly is grounding?
Grounding is connecting your energy system to something else's energy system.
The most common place to connect to is the Earth, thus the term grounding.
Normally this is done through the root or crown chakras depending on the location you wish to ground to.
Once a connection is formed, one can 'dump' any energy they don't want. This is analogous to washing something in a large body of water. Your ‘dirt’ is spread in the water and you become ‘clean’.
IMO grounding is a form of polluting. Humans once thought the streams and oceans could ‘handle’ all the stuff dumped in it. However, more recently it has become clear that there is a limit to how much the Earth itself can ‘cleanse’. As such the waters of the Earth are not as clean as they used to be. The energetic situation is the same.
Advanced note: more advanced energy practitioners may want to convert any excess or undesirable energy to a form beneficial to themselves rather than just dumping this potential energy resource.
Advanced note: advanced energy practitioners and advanced mediators may consider centering rather than grounding, this does two things:
1) a much more effective way to mange personal energy
2) provides (internal) stability largely independent of energy (state)
