Grounding is super important. For a deep dive, check out episode 562 of Once Bitten (link in NOSTR profile) in which I walked @Daniel Prince through my research. Grounding induces theta neural oscillations which are the key to accessing the Akashic records, Placebo effect style healing modalities (Qigong, Reiki, etc.), and, most importantly, spiritual (kundalini) awakenings. There are enhanced grounding techniques that are ancient: cave incubation, hypogeums, Aesculapian baths, Osireon, Osiris shaft sarcophagi, Saqqara necropolis sarcophagi, Great Pyramid sarcophagi, etc. Walking barefoot on ground is good. Meditating in lotus position with the receptive root chakra in contact with the ground is better. "Surround grounding" (caves, hypogeums) is better. Water grounding in Earthen containers is better (Osireon, sarcophagi) because you get more surface area contact which improves the rhythm entrainment process. Water grounding while surround grounding is better. Sensory deprivation water grounding while surround grounding is better. Sensory deprivation water grounding while surround grounding in a biogeometrically designed structure (Great Pyramid) in precisely located sarcophagi to capture a precise resonance is even better. Placing an impossibly heavy lid on the Queen's Chamber sarcophagus while an adept is experiencing sensory deprivation induces a state of surrender necessary to activate the 3rd eye. Adding lavender oil or blossoms with the Epsom salts further helps. Certain psychedelics (e.g. mescaline if timed correctly) further helps. Grounding is the foundation of the original version of the baptism ritual. It explains so many ancient mysteries. (P.S. Epsom salts were not discovered 400 years ago in Epsom, England...they were REdiscovered. Egyptians were converting basalt to magnesium sulfate using hydrochloric and sulfuric acids - see the work of Geoffrey Drumm. This is how Egypt, chemistry, and spiritual alchemy tie together.)
