I cannot now tell you what prompted me to choose this destination. I think I was looking for a dolmen that I had not been to before, and which was within 2 hours drive of home. I think I narrowed the search down to the county of Powys in Wales, but as this is a … Read More “The Wye Connection “ »

Creating a meditation space

Posted on June 20, 2015June 9, 2015 By Chris No Comments on Creating a meditation space

I am now in the second round of my set of 21 free nature-themed outdoor meditations. I had taken a break in May in order to take stock of what we had accomplished already, and to see who wanted to go around the cycle again with me.  I was heartened by the feedback on the Spirit In Nature Meetup group and I decided to restart the meditations in June.

I had one important change to make: the location. I needed a new space to work in. Towards the end of the previous sessions we had been interrupted by dogs, walkers, kids playing and climbers, not to mention having to clear up the detritus of people who used the space as a party venue. There was too much activity in the large open quarry, and something no longer felt “right” about the place as a space for meditation. It felt like we were always counteracting the chaotic energy when we came to the site, and this affected people’s ability to settle, focus and let go.

I found a new place nearby – a small dumping ground that had been left to re-wild. I had potential, so I set about preparing the site for use.

Element of air

Air, the final element

I am sure for the right person Florence is a beautiful place to visit. Galleries, museums, cafes, water-fronts and much more is at the tips of tourist fingers. However as a choice of places to visit, it wouldn’t be on my list, or at least not very high. As a side note, I would love to visit the place with someone who is an art fan (sic).

Yet, here I was on the train to Florence. The answer to the question that is begging to be asked, namely, “Why?” The answer is always complicated isn’t it. In this instance because of a vision that I had some months back. Now, as readers will know, I am on a quest to obtain four elements. Each had to be obtained in a different country. Other posts detail the acquisition of Earth, Water and Fire. So, I was guided to visit Florence so as to obtain the final element, Air.

What do I know about this art capital? Not a lot, my knowledge comes from a book I read a couple of years ago, Inferno, by Dan (Da Vinci Code) Brown. The book is set mostly in Florence and though consciously I don’t recall anything from it, sub-consciously I might have.

Anyway, I was heading out of the train station and generally following the tourists until I hit the first piazza. Of course the first stop of the day had to be the gelato parlour. Melon and Apricot flavour was the breakfast ice-cream. I looked around at the architecture of the piazza as well as acquainting myself with the Genius Loci of Firenze and decided after a short time that this was going to have to be a job for dowsing rods.

Hermits, Bananas and a Dark Angel – Spring Equinox 4

Hermits The equinox was progressing nicely. We had left home around 6:30am and it was approaching 3 in the afternoon when we arrived at our last (or so we thought) stop of the day. The Hermits Cave is unsurprisingly in the Hermits Wood. It is about half a mile from the road and the walk … Read More “Hermits, Bananas and a Dark Angel – Spring Equinox 4” »

The Energy of Prayer 2 of 3

The Energy of Prayer 2 of 3
Crystals, Energy cleansing, House Energies, Incense

In my previous post here I gave an outline of the energy that I had found in Laila (and her husbands) home. What was puzzling to me was that in the guest bedroom there was a predominance of positive energies. In fact 3/5ths of the positive energy was in that room. More curious they were … Read More “The Energy of Prayer 2 of 3” »

The Resonance of Caileach

Honestly, our adventures surprise us on a daily basis. From one synchronicity and strange occurrence do we wander. Seemingly aimless and yet specifically guided. We had spent considerable time looking for the Church of St Michael prior to our time at Arthur’s Well without success and then literally a few minutes after leaving that place … Read More “The Resonance of Caileach” »

Crystals, Incense, Natural Magick, Ritual, Spirit of Place

Sometimes a sacred site pilgrimage turns into a multi-site visit. At such times, I wonder…am I going to the site or is the site calling me? It is a chicken and egg scenario as far as I’m concerned. At some point on our visit to Mitchells Fold, Chris said, let’s go to the Whetstones. Why … Read More “Calling a Genius Loci” »
