I have been encouraged by the Angels and Elementals at Green Hope Farm to write frequently about how we can ground into our energy systems the unprecedented light flooding into earth at this time.
For convenience, here are links to these blogs about Grounding ( no doubt with more to come!)
At the behest of a healer in the field of neurodivergence, we are creating a set to support this community of souls. I hope to be able to share the set very soon.
As I work on this project, I am once again reminded how Flower Essences ground us in our physical lives while also helping us live these lives in a more healed and light filled way.
Nearly forty years ago, the Angels explained to me that Flower Essences help us be both more physically present AND raise our molecular structure to a more spiritually evolved and higher vibration state.
They noted that the symbol of the Star of David represents this balance. We need both to bring down spirit into form and to balance that by being fully present in our physical bodies.

Sometimes this idea that Flower Essences help us be more physically present surprises people. The idea that being spiritual means being less physically present is a deeply ingrained idea in American culture.
I appreciate all the sharing you have done with us about the nature of grounding and the complexities of grounding all this incoming energy this summer. Your sharing has led me to dig deeper into the whole topic.
One person told me how her sleepless nights have led her to connect with a family of raccoons each night. For her, this time is one of Raccoon Nights. Making lemonade from lemons, she now has a family of raccoons who visit her each sleepless night and keep her company. She is not alone in this experience of disrupted sleep and disrupted life patterns. As mentioned in previous blogs, this incoming light has its own rhyme & reason and does not take into account our individual patterns of light accommodation.
Another GHF friend asked me why we must discharge the excess electrical system through our feet into the Earth. This too ties into the disparity between our planet’s and our personal light integration process.
The Earth has its own rhythm of vibrational uptick. This is not necessarily our personal rhythm. If we learn to discharge extra light energy into the Earth, basically acting as a conduit to let the light flow through, then we have a chance to integrate this light energy later in alignment with our own personal rhythm.
We still need to do the work to raise up our vibration to stay congruent with our planetary home, and Flower Essences are still there to help us do this work while also remaining fully physically present, BUT we can do it in a way that flows with our personal vibrational system.
We are getting a tremendous amount of support to make these vibrational shifts while remaining fully present in our physical bodies. Listening to our heart’s voice, our inner guidance and our physical bodies as we make this big vibrational leap is vital. This is how we access the guidance for how to navigate this unique time.
We are loved and we are being ushered through this time with great love and care. It is our job to listen and follow our guidance.
This week as I work on custom mixes for people and animals, I am struck by how important energy field hygiene is. Having our energy field clear of other people’s energy and understanding that our energy belongs to us is essential to our well being. Understanding energy field hygiene means appropriate involvement with other people’s energy fields.
When I asked someone in the office what they thought of my use of the world hygiene they thought it was good, noting that most people are preoccupied with surface appearance hygiene like clean, glossy hair for instance and pay no attention to energy field hygiene.
We must be responsible for our use of our energy, but we must also deal with how other people interact with our energy field. Flower Essences from the Sovereignty Set help us keep our field clear of other people’s energy and help us resist having our energy field tapped by others. The Sovereignty Set works from the reality that many people pull on other people’s energy systems unconsciously.
Our parents lay down our basic wiring for human interactions. If you had a parent who wired you to give your life force energy to this parent so they could harvest your energy any time they want, you will have a susceptibility to giving other people your energy and allow them into your energy field.
Flower Essences offer our electrical system alternatives to programmed decisions that lower our vibration. Allowing others to harvest our energy lowers our vibration.
The Sovereignty Set was created to help you keep your energy field pristine and share your energy as you wish not through a default to old wiring. Its gifts dovetail beautifully with our beloved friend Golden Armor.
The Sovereignty Set clarifies boundaries. People with confused wiring often think they are responsible for much more than they are responsible for. Flower Essences support the vital work of breaking patterns of energetically giving too much.
Creating the Sovereignty Set with the Angels and Elementals was one of the most involved projects I have undertaken. The Angels, Elementals and I worked together for more than thirty years before we tackled this project. It is a collection that offers profound healing information.
Energy field hygiene is essential to our animal beloveds too. They have no built in barriers to their energy fields being violated. This means we need to pay attention to what we expect from our animals and offer them Flower Essences and other tools so they can better protect their energy fields out in the world. I was reminded of this when this morning a GHF friend asked us to create a mix for a horse with prion disease.
Prion is a disease which mostly affects deer, but when a horse eats grass that deer have urinated on, the horse can get prion disease. This is what happened to this horse. My limited understanding of prion disease process is that it is a template of deformed proteins invade nerve tissue ( brain/nerve tissue, myelin sheaths etc) and the healthy proteins are influenced to deform like the prions.
When making a custom mix or suggesting Flower Essences for someone or an animal, I ask my partners the Angels and Elementals for their suggestions. I will never understand Flower Essences and their healing depths as well as my partners from the Angelic and Elemental kingdoms. Even their framing of how to work with Essences teaches me things on a daily basis. Yesterday they suggested a very ill person use a day mix for when they must go out into the world and a night mix for the restorative work that happens when we sleep. This made so much sense to me, much as it had not occurred to me before.
So back to the horse with prion disease. When I asked the Angels and Elementals to compose the mix, the following Essences were their suggestions. The comments in parenthesis are my thoughts and may not be particularly insightful. More they reflect patterns I have noticed the Angels and Elementals make.
Celandine ( strengthening cell to cell communication)
California Poppy ( this crops up for lots of myelin sheath issues)
Alignment Garden (I recently put back the full description of this dynamo after I had previously edited it down to nothing)
It was this final turn of the mix towards Golden Armor and a trio from the Sovereignty Set that made me pause and write this blog to remind you that if, in this complicated time, you feel your energy system or that of a beloved in your life could use support to remain strong and clear, the Sovereignty Set is there for you.

Yes, many of you are wondering about the situation at the primary vegetable garden. The fact is that several of our beloved clan have chosen to remain in the burrow in the center of this garden even as a trench is dug to keep us out. I chose to stay inside the trench to keep spirits up as we face this historic challenge to our sovereignty. Yes, there is a place we can walk across to get out of the garden, but why would we go? This garden has long been OUR playground and pantry.
I am gratified that the media is interested in our story. It is a brave choice to remain in the garden, because there is not much food. No it was not harvested by the humans. We ate it all before that could happen. So we are on a bit of a fast inside the trenches. We may have to eat the onions and basil, the only crops we have sneered at.
Please don’t worry about us! Life is good. We redig holes when human children fill them in. We play canasta. We laugh in the face of the man with the backhoe. We think how history will remember us. We will stay here inside the trench until the new fence goes up, and then we will parade back to our other burrows where we have books to read this winter about techniques for breaching fences of all sorts.
First trench dug. Pathetic attempt at a fence still in place on the left.
Trenching continues. Notice that our escape route is being checked out by visiting grandpuppy. Also note that gardener has thrown in the towel on this garden and left crab grass to prevail where once were tasty vegetables.
Grandpuppy checking out our burrow in center of garden. Note that gardener person has begun to remove useless frost cloth which we learned to crawl under for munching on “protected” crops. It’s been a hot, dry summer so we appreciated the shade provided by the cloth.
Original fencing now removed which really makes no difference to use as it failed to deter us in any way. Last covered crop of carrots with frost cloth at top of picture revealed to have been successfully demolished by us. Good work team!
Let’s not get careless in the final days of this harvest season. Somehow the gardener harvested four beans and got them into the house before we spotted them. Please don’t let this kind of sloppy behavior prevail. Make sure you eat everything!
I have received many comments on the last blog with a number of questions on the topic of grounding.
People also shared stories of exhaustion, migraines, mind spin, vision concerns and other symptoms resulting from this current influx of high vibration electrical energy into the planet.
We all seem to be wondering what does it mean to be grounded? How do we ground? Why is grounding a good idea? Will we be able to ground well enough to handle these incoming higher frequencies?
Several people said their lives required them to both access higher vibration information and also live in the middle of a lot of lower vibration situations. I think this is probably true for most of us, and it is a hard balance. Others had concerns about whether their electrical systems could handle this influx of higher vibration energies. The Angels indicated that grounding would make all the difference to our electrical systems adaptation to this incoming energy but we all wondered why?
After percolating for a couple of days, I want to share a couple of things I may have shared before and also a new way of looking at grounding that I was led to explore.
Many years ago I was given a routine for grounding by a wise healer. She explained that when working to ground yourself, consider this daily routine: First ask Divinity to clear your energy field of anything that is not pure love and light of Divinity. This helps for many reasons, but as far as grounding goes, it helps remove interference to the grounding process. Then ask to be anchored to the heart of Divinity and to be grounded to the heart of the Earth. This asking to be grounded two ways helps with the balance of both being in the world but not of the world- that high and low vibration mix which is daily life in the world.
You ground to the heart of the Earth because this is the purest part of Earth. Earth itself is processing stuff and therefore grounding to the Earth’s surface could mean grounding to a mixed vibration.
The Angels have long said to me that it helps to do this grounding at the same time each day. Right about now though, it’s good to do it more than once a day if you are feeling stressed.
Being ungrounded can mean not being fully in our physical bodies. Another healer taught me that if I was not grounded fully in my physical body, I was unlikely to efficiently or effectively learn the lessons I was trying to learn. Not being fully in my body was like learning about the ocean while only sticking my toe in the water. This is one reason we created the Grounding Flower Essence mix as it can help us fully inhabit our physical bodies if we have a habit of staying only partially connected.
Why would we not be fully present? We only partially inhabit our bodies as a way to handle very difficult situations.
How do we ground fully into our physical bodies? It can help to talk to the part of ourselves that doesn’t want to be fully present. Sometimes we make a decision not to be grounded fully because it feels like the best decision we can make. Knowing that not being fully grounded and present in our physical body can make it more difficult to be here versus less can encourage us to ground fully. Working with Flower Essences and also asking for help from our spiritual support team can bring us into our physical bodies fully.
This choice to be fully present ties into the Angels comments in the last blog about our use of technology right now. It is a complicated time to be on Earth. Being on our phones or computers all the time may temporarily numb our anxieties, but it also leads us to not be fully present in our bodies and not fully present in our lives. It also makes it hard for us to process and move this incoming energy down through our systems and ground it fully in the Earth.
One last thing the Angels have stressed to me for decades is that some foods are tremendously more grounding than others. Beets, turnips, carrots, potatoes and other root crops are more grounding than other foods as they grow in the ground. We all know which foods and drinks are less grounding! The Angels comment here, “You may think this does not matter, but it does.”
no question here about whether this cake was grounding!
The new thoughts on grounding that I was led to this week began when I was nudged to reread a book about a woman struck by lightening. This got me thinking about the use of the term grounding in connection to lightening and other electrical currents.
Grounding as an electrical process is the process of connecting an electrical circuit or equipment to the earth (or a large conducting body) to provide a low-resistance path for electrical current. This is done primarily for safety reasons. All of the men in Jim’s family have some hair raising stories about WHY grounding is so important. They all do electrical work and grounding is something they all pay a lot of attention to in order to prevent an electric shock or equipment damage ( both of which they have experienced despite their best efforts). Grounding acts as a safety measure by providing a path for excess current to dissipate into the ground rather than flow through people or equipment.
This helps me understand why grounding is incredibly relevant to us as our electrical systems deal with the large amounts of high vibration electrical energy coming to the planet right now.
Like the experienced electricians they are, the Angels keep saying to bring the energy down through all our chakras and through the bottoms of our feet into the Earth. Remember that the chakras are our electrical system that is running these higher frequencies through our bodies, and the Earth is our grounding mechanism.
Bringing the energy down through us and into the Earth is a way for us to manage these enormous energy surges. Grounding gives us time to adapt to the rising vibrations as it dissipates the excess current. Right now, the Angels note that a lot of us are leaving this energy in our upper chakras where we experience a lot of strange symptoms and risk burn out.
Please let me know if these thoughts leave you with more questions, and we will keep discussing this very important and pressing topic together.
