1) Have you practiced this with any other visualization techniques? It doesn't seem to explicitly involve moving energy about, but I could see how it might.
2) I'm a bit confused on the first step. When you say "you can lay your feet and legs solidly on the ground", I'm not sure what that looks like from sitting in a chair - how do you get your legs (and not just your feet) on the ground? To clarify, I'm interpreting "sit about halfway back on a chair, without touching the backrest" as roughly equivalent to the "Egyptian Statue" style pose for the legs. Am I misunderstanding?
3) Did you know there are similar "grounding" exercises out in the neo-pagan community? Galina Krasskova and Raven Kaldera describe one (where the root comes out of your perineum and there is explicit movement of energy) in Neolithic Shamanism, I think, but when I asked about it on MM, JMG said it was Wiccan/neo-pagan thing he had heard of but didn't know much else about. I'm mostly curious if this is a case of convergent evolution or if you were inspired by others.
