This is an article I wrote some years ago to help people understand that there are solutions to the uncomfortable symptoms we sometimes get . Though geared more towards psychic development it applies to ascension and kundalini as well.
When you start spiritual or psychic development , there can be a variety of odd happenings . It doesn't seem to be much discussed , and I think many people have no idea that it can happen. There can be electrical problems , as well as dizziness and nausea. (Some people have these situations developing naturally , without seeking psychic development too.)
When we start getting more psychically active, our energies can get out of balance . They can effect the things around us without our conscious intention . We might get angry and blow a light bulb, for example. Or, we might have repressed energies that lead to all kinds of electrical and appliance breakdowns , even things moving by themselves .
Another symptom is dizziness and nausea, usually when we are focusing on our psychic work . Then again, sometimes those sick feelings will sneak up on us too, and energy rushes will happen when we are not expecting it.
The solution to these problems is grounding . When our energies are out of balance , when we are getting involved with psychic energies that are higher than ours normally are , we become ungrounded. Grounding is reconnecting with the earth and centering ourselves again. Without grounding we are floaty feeling , distracted , sometimes dizzy and nauseous , and sometimes affecting things on the physical plane without intending to.
There are probably many ways to ground ourselves during these episodes , but the standard method is to visualize yourself having roots coming out your feet that go deep into the earth . This might sound nutty to the average person , but for sensitive types it's essential . You visualize yourself as having a "grounding cord" that comes from your root chakra (base of the spine) and goes down into the earth and firmly anchoring there.
It is very important to ground yourself before doing psychic work , such as giving readings or attempting mediumship.
Over time , we become more accustomed to the higher vibrations and we level out and don't feel sick anymore. However , as we continue to progress , the symptoms of being ungrounded can return as we readjust . There is also the occasion when one comes into contact with energies that are somewhat overwhelming , as you might see in the cases of mediums getting ill when dealing with spirits .
So, what do we do to help ourselves when we realize there is a little too much energy for us to handle ? We need to learn to release it . One method I like is to sit in a chair with feet flat on the floor , and hands on the arms of the chair. Visualize the excess energy flowing downwards and out your hands and feet into the earth . (This is also good for getting rid of other things like unpleasant emotions that you want to disperse.)
It's good to practice this regularly too and keep ourselves clear .
Another thing I advise is to get some grounding stones and some grounding jewelry to wear. This again sounds nutty to people who are not familiar with it. The different crystals and stones have different properties , so it is important to get the right ones . You don't want to draw in more energy and make your situation worse ! Some good grounding stones are Hematite and black Obsidian . (Do a web search on "grounding stones" and you will probably find more. )
I have a large selection of tumbled stones in different varieties - they all have their special purpose. But we have to remember that different stones affect each person differently too. I think it's best to get larger stones and if they're not available then a quantity of smaller ones. When I feel dizzy , I grab my grounding stones and sit down with them for a while . Holding one to the third eye is helpful too, especially when one finds oneself with a headache brought on by psychic work. I make sure never to leave the house without wearing a pendant and necklace of grounding stones . They've stabilized me on more than one occasion when I got the dizzies while shopping . Sometimes it seems that when one is in a sensitive state , focusing on anything with even the slightest bit of intensity can bring on that floaty sick feeling .
Your stones will need to be cleansed and charged after you get them ,and regularly thereafter. Generally you cleanse them under running water and charge them in the sun or moonlight. Again, doing a web search about crystal cleansing and charging will give you more methods , and a list of which stones should not be in sun or water .
Exercise and eating are grounding too - anything that reconnects you with earth .

MORE ON GROUNDING , AND DEALING WITH SPIRITUAL AWAKENING/ ASCENSION /KUNDALINI ENERGIES :
Grounding is really crucial , and too many people know nothing about it . When you have this spiritual energy awakening , you need to practice grounding daily . Sometimes more than once a day , and definitely before you undertake any spiritual activity . The standard grounding is a visualization of roots growing out of your feet and down deep into the earth so that you can feel anchored. It helps to visualize a grounding cord coming down from the base of your spine deep into the earth and maybe wrapping itself around a huge boulder . Sometimes you might get mentally scattered and feel floaty too , and then you might even find a grounding cord coming down from your head , down your spine and into the earth to be of help too , in addition to the other methods . Some people like to ground by walking in nature in their bare feet , but this isn't always convenient for most of us . Anything that takes your head out of the spiritual clouds and back in touch with earth is said to be grounding . Grounding generally yields a feeling of stability and pleasant centering .
When you've got too much odd energy in your body , such as vibrations or just a feeling of being overwhelmed by some kind of intensity , it will often help to practice doing a visualization that pushes the energy downwards and out your feet into the earth . This may have to be done several times , many times a day before things stabilize . The more you practice this , the better you will get at it . Placing one or more grounding stones on the body wherever an energetic buildup is felt while doing this exercise can help also . (more on grounding stones below)
Another release exercise is placing your feet and hands on a surface (you can do this sitting in an armchair or lying on a bed ) and visualizing energy flowing outwards through your hands and palms and into the chair or bed to be dispersed naturally eventually . This last one can be helpful with getting rid of general stress , feelings one has taken on from other people , and as an all purpose energetic cleanse .
Stones are very important for helping with grounding . Don't dismiss them just because you haven't had any experiences with them or might not believe in their properties . They work on the subtle vibrational healing level for most people . Stones are like your portable earth , and reconnecting with earth is the main focus of grounding . I never leave the house without a grounding pendant on , and I keep several grounding stones nearby to grab in case I start to feel floaty or overwhelmed . When you are in a very active phase you should wear a grounding necklace or pendant all the time , and cleanse it frequently under runner water to remove the energetic buildup .
Most grounding stones are dark . Black onyx , black tourmaline , black obsidian , etc . The ultimate grounding stone is hematite , which is a shiny gray and looks rather alien .Very conveniently , it's one of the less expensive stones .
Sometimes people get into stones and crystals and the first thing they do is run out and buy the pretty one they feel drawn to . Which is fine , if you don't have an energetic problem going on . Then wearing the lovely amethyst or putting it under your pillow can actually exacerbate the situation . So just as some stones will help with grounding , others will do just the opposite . If you're going wear other stones during an energetic upswing , at least add a grounding stone with it to help mute the effect .
Once you've got this spiritual awakening /kundalini energy it's not going away . It may level off , start and stop , balance out over time . If things are at an intense stage , you should stop meditating and other spiritual practices for a while until the energy levels itself . Spiritual activities will only add more energy . Routinely doing spiritual exercises that tell you to bring energy or light up the spine is not a good idea either , as this will increase the problem . The exception to this is when you've got blocked energy somewhere that is causing pain or a possible illness - then experimenting for brief periods with pulling energy up and out your crown chakra might help release the block . If anything seems to aggravate or increase energy to uncomfortable levels , stop immediately .
Spiritual ascension /awakening /kundalini energies are also somewhat contagious ! Not in the usual physical sense of course , but energetically contagious . People that have it can trigger one another and suddenly find themselves experiencing intense heat , even if they are just oceans away in an internet chatroom . The people you live with may or may not begin their own awakening process .
