Unicorn energies are excellent for healing and protection spells. Unicorns come in all types, shapes, breeds and magical talents. It really depends on the aspect of unicorn you are calling on. There are all kinds of breeds of unicorn. This also means there is all kinds of ways they can help you in your life.
Its good to practice your grounding while walking, laying or sitting as well. However, sitting is a good starting position to begin with.
Imagine a grounding cord extending from the base of your spine into the center of the earth (or a tail from your rear going straight down. Sit up straight along this cord. Breathe from the diaphragm and your stomach (like you're going to sing).
Do this for a moment then:
Now, imagine your spine channeling that spiraling energy down into the earth, releasing negative energy. Imagine your feet as hooves, I like to think of them as sharp, cloven hooves digging into the soil and sinking in a little. I sometimes imaging feathering along the legs that blends down into the energies of the earth. Then sink into yourself and allow the magic of the unicorn to descend into the earth's magics. The spiral is a very sacred symbol and movement. You can spiral your energy down into the earth, or you can descend down with the solid straight energy of a different unicorn breed.
First, ground your chakras. Visualize this as energy of a selected color (your choice, most people do not ground each chakra in a separate color, rather select a color based off intuitive need or intention). I have included the color associations here so if you look at a chakra color map you have more understanding, not because you need to use the associated colors. Visualize the light coming from the chakra:
Root chakra — base of the spine — red
Visualize the chakra being emptied with the cleansing light, straight down through the grounding cord.
Sacral chakra — just below the navel — orange
Visualize the chakra being emptied with the cleansing light, straight down through the grounding cord.
Solar Plexus chakra — stomach area — yellow
Visualize the chakra being emptied with the cleansing light, straight down through the grounding cord.
Heart chakra — center of the chest — green
Visualize the chakra being emptied with the cleansing light, straight down through the grounding cord.
Throat chakra — base of the throat — blue
Visualize the chakra being emptied with the cleansing light, straight down through the grounding cord.
Third Eye chakra — forehead, just above area between the eyes — indigo
Visualize the chakra being emptied with the cleansing light, straight down through the grounding cord.
Crown chakra — top of the head — violet
Visualize the chakra being emptied with the cleansing light, straight down through the grounding cord.
Next, vision a bright colored light of the healing color you would like to use constructed of earth energy, then mix a little, maybe 3% cosmic energy into the mix and now you are going to fill the chakras.
Root chakra — base of the spine — red
Visualize the chakra being filled with the selected light, filling it until so full, that it fills up and rises into the next chakra and begins to fill it.
Sacral chakra — just below the navel — orange
Visualize the chakra being filled with the selected light, filling it until so full, that it fills up and rises into the next chakra and begins to fill it.
Solar Plexus chakra — stomach area — yellow
Visualize the chakra being filled with the selected light, filling it until so full, that it fills up and rises into the next chakra and begins to fill it.
Heart chakra — center of the chest — green
Visualize the chakra being filled with the selected light, filling it until so full, that it fills up and rises into the next chakra and begins to fill it.
Throat chakra — base of the throat — blue
Visualize the chakra being filled with the selected light, filling it until so full, that it fills up and rises into the next chakra and begins to fill it.
Third Eye chakra — forehead, just above area between the eyes — indigo
Visualize the chakra being filled with the selected light, filling it until so full, that it fills up and rises into the next chakra and begins to fill it.
Crown chakra — top of the head — violet
Visualize the chakra being filled with the selected light, filling it until so full, that it fills up and rises straight up until it bursts out of the crown chakra (which points up). Fill up this crown chakra, let it fall over you, covering your aura, all the way down, this will seal up your aura. Make the light fill in a bubble like shape all the way over the top of you head and down, well past your feet (be sure to include your feet and the area a few inches under it). Bring in as many bright neutral - gold suns of energy filled with your highest creative potential into your space from Above as you want (1-3 is usually good).
Now you are ready to work with your unicorn elemental mastery.
Allow your hooves to move through the dirt, feel the dirt hold you aloft. Then your energy moves through the caves beneath the dirt, feel the air in the caves blow through you, energizing you…then you feel yourself drawing further down, to the water that runs through the caves. Feel the water flow through you…then you move to the very center where the great boiling center of the earth is…fire. Feel the fire blaze into you. Draw on all the elements of the earth to feed your roots. Let it flow from you feet up…up…up. Now you draw power up from the earth with each breath. Pull onto each of the elements…earth, air, water and fire. Feel the energy rising up through your spine. Feel yourself becoming more alive with each breath.
Feel the energy moving up through your body. Imagine great, sweeping wings that move out from your shoulders, then move back down gracing the earth. See your horn spiraling the energy out of your forehead and towards the sky. Feel the power burst from the horn on your head, and the power sweeping back down to the earth creating a cycle, and returning to its source. Feel your wings and the energy of the earth intertwine with the energies around you and the auras that surround you. You can now tap this energy.
Now, after you have raised all of this energy and used it for your ritual, there is still a great deal of power racing through you. Every time power is raised, it must be earthed. Earthing is another form of grounding. If this is not done, the force you feel as vitalizing energy turns into tension and irritability. In the final step before opening the circle we ground all excess energy. A good place to send it to is back to the Earth. The easiest way to do that is to create your grounding cord, empty and fill your chakras, call in your gold suns and seal up your aura.
Earthing After Rituals
Sit or lie on the ground and relax. Place your palms flat on the ground or just lie flat on the ground (floor). Keep what energy you need and let the rest sink through you into the Earth. Imagine the energy flowing down into the ground. Relax, and let the energy flow out of you- -deep into the earth from whence it came. Relax and let yourself drift peacefully.
So there you have it, that is the one I use most of the time. Either that one or Starhawk has a beautiful one that is based off of a great tree ( I imagine myself as either an Oak or a Willow depending on my mood) sinking its roots into the erath through caves and down to the firey core of the earth. I ground regularly and even when I am not using a ritual. It is recommended to ground between 5 mins to 1/2 hour depending on your experience.
I keep my hematite, some onyx and some chocolate with my travel altar and on my larger altar to help with grounding.
Why to ground:
Rituals can be great, but you need to ground yourself before you do it. It makes sure you are open to energy, not using all of your own and not wearing yourself out. Its important to ground yourself because it relaxes and focuses you. You draw on the earthy energies that way rather than you own so you don't get tired, worn out, sick or frustrated.
