1) D'oh! I left out the key word in my question. I was asking about any other energy visualization techniques, specifically visualization of energy movement, wince that's the area JMG has cautioned the most about mixing and matching. Despite my indadequately-worded question, you got to my concerns in your explanation, so thank you!
2) Ah, okay, that makes more sense to me, thank you. I think your explanation given here makes it much clearer. I would likely say something like "put your feet solidly on the ground and let them carry the weight of your legs more than the chair. Your legs should not feel like they are 'hanging', but like they are firmly planted."
3) To be fair, I'm not that familiar with the practice. Shortly after I started looking through the book, I did a divination about whether it was the right stuff for me to be working on right now and got a very emphatic "no!" So, I haven't looked at it in a while, but doing so now, here's what I find:
a. They pair "grounding" with "centering" as a daily practice that they stress about as much as JMG does banishing rituals. b. "Centering" is the four-fold breath paired with visualization of focusing your body's energy at either the womb center (for women) or the solar plexus (for men or especially busty women) c. After you gather the energy by centering, you visualize pushing it down through your root chakra if seated, or your feet if standing or walking, and into the ground, branching out into deep roots, possibly all the way down to the heart of the world d. You then visualize moving energy up and down these roots, pushing out any negative/excess energy, and drawing in any needed healing energy
So, fairly different from your description, and something that sounds riskier to mix with any other energy-moving techniques than what you've come up with.
