I've noticed lately that I'll do energy work, and start getting this hyper feeling. I enjoy it, so instead of grounding out extra energy, when I'm done, I just get up and go about my day. When I do this I notice that later I feel slightly spacey from all the energy. However, at that point grounding does not get rid of the spaciness; it's like some slight damage has been done. At that point, my only option is to let it pass on its own, which it usually does in about 12-24 hours. So after having this happen quite a few times, I've decided to get better about grounding out extra energy, LOL. This is what I do:

Ground some energy into the earth through my feet if I am able to communicate with the earth to get her permission. If not, then I stimulate my hands, and state mentally that I will be sending excess energy out my hands, and that any entity which is of the light or working towards the light is free to make use of this energy once it has left my system. Then I sponge energy down arms and out of fingers and palms and into nowhere in particular.

I had a question though: does my mentally stating who/what can use the energy actually prevent it from being utilized by negs and other unsavory characters, or is that just wishful thinking? If it is not effective, is there any way that I can just send energy out and make sure it's only used in a positive way besides specifically directing the energy to a person or entity who I know will use it well? (I know a few people who would be amenable to me sending them the extra energy, but they don't live near me so I'd have to do it without physical contact, something I doubt I am advanced enough to do yet, as I haven't even really tried sending energy to someone when in close proximity.)

Also, do I need to ask permission from earth's atmosphere to do this? I know the earth has a consciousness and should be asked before I ground, does the atmosphere?
