A Smoky Quartz Grounding Ritual:
At the base of a large tree, dig a small hole in the soil and place a smoky quartz crystal in the hole.
Sit down and meditate on the energy of the tree and the smoky quartz.
Visualise roots emerging from you, growing deep into the soil, intertwining with the roots of the tree.
Place your palms on the ground. Breathe deep and relax.
Once you are feeling grounded collect your smoky quartz and some soil from where it was placed.
Put them into a piece of brown or dark red fabric, tie it and knot it three times. Carry this with you when in need of grounding or meditate with it placed on your root chakra.
