Thanks, but I’m familiar with grounding 
I just find that when I do it before I work then I DON’T have any problems as the energy flows more freely and I can avoid the headaches/heart chakra overload as there is a better flow in general…
I should have probably also mentioned that the majority of the magicks that I use is through direct energy manipulations. It’s very rare that I work with entities, so that might be the difference…
Also, I don’t like to ‘store’ energy - I prefer to let it flow as I feel like it’s that storing of energy that after a while causes blockages and stagnation - at least for me it does
And I do both as far as thinking the visuals AND feeling… which is again something that I think would be difficult to do if I wasn’t ‘planted in my body’…
And actually, upon rereading what you wrote, you’re basically… telling me to ground first before I do magick… lol
