Have you ever tried 'purging meditations'? It uses the same principles as the grounding meditation, but instead you are moving all of the negativity out of your energy and through the fingers, back into the universe. I am an emotive empath, so daily purging is essential to my well being. I do this one late at night when nobody is bound to be around. Don't want to unleash icky energy where someone else may pick it up.
Thanks for sharing!
