Psychic medium claims the secret to avoiding a hangover is to spiritually ‘GROUND’ your alcohol

A psychic medium has claimed that the trick to avoiding a hangover is to ‘ground’ your drink and ‘clear unwanted energy out’ before imbibing. 

Nicolle Merrilyne, an energy healer and medium based in Seattle, Washington, opened up about the three things she does every time she drinks alcohol in a series of TikTok videos.  

‘Alcohol loosens your energetic boundaries and opens your crown chakra, making you more susceptible to negative entities,’ she explained. ‘This is why sometimes people act like a totally different person when they drink or feel like something “took them over.”‘

First, she places a ‘protective shield or rose’ around her aura. She then ‘grounds’ her drink to clear out any unwanted negative energy

Finally, she sets an intention for drinking and sends it ‘into the drink while stirring three times to the left.’ Merrilyne advises repeating the second and third steps before every drink

Merrilyne, who has more than 43,000 followers, admitted that she doesn’t drink often, but when she does, she takes great care to protect herself from negative energy. 

First, she places a ‘protective shield or rose’ around her aura. She then grounds her drink to clear out both negative energy and other people’s energy. 

Spiritual grounding, or earthing, is an attempt to bring mental and physical balance by connecting with the Earth, according to Thrive. 

Finally, she sets an intention for drinking and sends it ‘into the drink while stirring three times to the left.’ She advises repeating the second and third steps before every drink. 

Merrilyne’s process had more than a few people scratching their heads, and she gave a more in-depth look at her technique in two follow-up videos.

The medium explained that you can protect your energy by either visualizing a ‘protective shield of white or gold light lining your aura’ or a ‘rose at the edge of your aura’

Merrilyne noted that she personally likes to keep her protection rose above her crown chakra when drinking

‘If I am going to have a drink, I always protect my energy first,’ she explained. ‘An easy way to do this is say, “Shields up.” Then visualize a protective shield of white or gold light lining your aura.’

‘Another way is to create a protection rose,’ she continued. ‘This is my favorite. Simply close your eyes and visualize a rose at the edge of your aura. Let the rose match your vibration by writing your name on it or sending it your energy from your heart. This rose will absorb any energy directed at you.’

As for the grounding, she said this is key for waking up refreshed and hangover-free after a night of drinking. 

‘There can be a lot of low vibrational energy and entities surrounding alcohol and the places and people where it’s consumed,’ she explained. ‘As a medium who’s very sensitive to energy, I have to clear unwanted energy out before drinking.

 Merrilyne said she grounds everything, especially her drinks, because there ‘can be a lot of low vibrational energy and entities around alcohol’ 

Merrilyne gave an example of a patron absorbing a bartender’s frustration over a parking ticket

‘We absorb energy like sponges,’ she added. ‘Think about if your bartender got a parking ticket. Their frustrated energy could be in your drink and then you absorb it.’

Merrilyne said she likes to ground her drink by ‘visualizing a grounding cord growing out from the bottom all the way down to the core of the Earth.’

She then imagines three suns — a psychic tool — coming through the top of the drink and out through the grounding cord. 

‘I set the intention of the gold suns to clear out any energy that is not in my highest and greatest good,’ she concluded. ‘This takes less than a minute and will have a huge impact on your energy and hangover.’

The three videos have been viewed more than 660,000 times combined, but there was a mix of believers and skeptics who shared their thoughts in the comments.

‘So helpful thank you!! As a highly sensitive person, I also rarely drink for these reasons. Definitely going to do this,’ one person wrote. 

‘Wow! Doing this for everything now. I am so sensitive to energies,’ someone else shared, while another added: ‘Interesting! I ground myself but have never thought of grounding things.’

One TikTok user couldn’t resist asking, ‘Is this a joke.’ 

‘Wow. What unfounded bulls**t,’ another critic agreed.  

‘Sounds more like gaslighting myself into thinking that’s not as bad as it really is,’ someone else insisted.
