Column of Light: The Morning Routine I Swear By

Some days we wake up already “plugged in” to the collective. Notifications, worries, other people’s moods, yesterday’s unfinished emotions… it can feel like your energy got invited to ten group chats you never joined.

This is where setting up your day becomes sacred. Not in a strict, perfectionist way. In a “Let me bring my system online intentionally” way.

Today I’m sharing a simple ascension-style routine that starts with your Column of Light, connects you to Earth and Spirit, and then helps you move through the day with more steadiness, clarity, and protection.

Why your morning energy setup matters

If you don’t choose your frequency, the world will happily choose it for you.

A daily setup is like putting a clean filter on your field. You’re not trying to block life out. You’re choosing what gets to stay in you.

Think of this as:

• your energetic hygiene

• your spiritual “operating system update”

• your auric boundaries getting dressed for the day

No fancy tools required. Just you, your breath, and a few minutes.

Step 1: Create your Column of Light (your core alignment)

Your Column of Light is the vertical line of connection that runs through your energy field, linking you to Source above and Earth below. When it’s strong, you feel more like yourself.

Try this (2 to 3 minutes):

1. Sit or stand comfortably. Unclench your jaw. Drop your shoulders.

2. Take 3 slower breaths. Inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth.

3. Imagine a soft beam of light descending from above your head.

4. Let it enter through your crown and travel down through:

   • forehead

   • throat

   • heart

   • solar plexus

   • lower belly

   • hips

   • legs

   • feet

5. See this light forming a steady vertical column, like a luminous inner spine.

   Say (out loud or in your mind):“I call my energy back to me, across all timelines, places, and people. I return to my center now.”

If you feel scattered, repeat that once more. No need to wrestle your mind into silence. Just return to the column like you’re stepping back onto your own path.

Step 2: Connect to Earth (grounding without dulling your light)

Grounding doesn’t make you less spiritual. It makes you more stable.

Try this (1 to 2 minutes):

1. Imagine roots extending from the soles of your feet deep into the Earth.

2. Let the roots reach down through soil and stone until they connect with the Earth’s deeper, steady current.

3. On each exhale, release anything heavy: stress, fear, other people’s emotions, mental static.

4. On each inhale, receive steadiness and support.

Say:“Earth, I anchor into you. Stabilize me. Hold what is not mine.”

You might notice your nervous system soften here. That’s the point. You’re teaching your body it’s safe to be here.

Step 3: Connect to Spirit (guidance, not overwhelm)

Now that you’re anchored, you can connect upward without floating away.

Try this (1 to 2 minutes):

1. Visualize a star-like light above your head, bright but gentle.

2. Let it stream down into your column of light.

3. Ask for clarity, protection, and clean guidance.

Say:“Spirit, I align with my highest timeline today. Let guidance be clear, calm, and kind. Only what serves the highest good is welcome in my space.”

Important note: guidance should feel steady, not frantic. If it feels chaotic, that’s usually noise, not wisdom.

Step 4: Seal your field (aura boundaries that still let you breathe)

You don’t need to be wide open all day to be loving.

Try this (30 seconds):

• Imagine your energy field forming a smooth, luminous egg-shaped boundary around you, about an arm’s length out.

• Let it be permeable to love and truth, but not to emotional debris.

Say:“My field is sovereign. My energy is mine. I move through the day protected, guided, and clear.”

Step 5: Program the day (set the tone before the world sets it for you)

This is where spirituality meets practicality.

Ask yourself:

• How do I want to feel today? (choose 1 to 3 words)Examples: steady, confident, open, focused, peaceful, brave

• What matters most today? (one priority)

• What would support me? (one small kindness to yourself)

Then speak a simple “frequency intention”:“Today I move with calm power. I respond, I don’t absorb. I choose my timeline.”

If you’re sensitive, this step is everything. Your intention becomes the steering wheel.

A 5-minute version (for real life mornings)

If you’re short on time, do this:

1. Column of Light: breathe, light down the body (1 minute)

2. Earth: roots, exhale heaviness (1 minute)

3. Spirit: align with highest good (1 minute)

4. Seal: boundary of light (30 seconds)

5. Program: 3 words + 1 priority (1 minute)

That’s it. No spiritual Olympics.

Signs your day is “set up” well

You’ll notice:

• less emotional sponge behavior

• clearer intuition (not anxiety disguised as intuition)

• fewer spirals, faster resets

• better timing, better decisions

• a feeling of “I’m here, I’m in charge of my frequency”

And if your day still gets messy? Good. Life is life. This practice isn’t about avoiding challenge, it’s about meeting it from your center.

Closing: your energy is your home

When you set up your day this way, you’re choosing to live inside your own light instead of renting space in everyone else’s weather.

Start small. Be consistent. Let it become a ritual, not a rule.

One last affirmation to carry with you:“I am connected to Earth and Spirit. I am protected. I am guided. I am present.” 🌙✨
