<blockquote><p><em>“The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.”</em><br />
<strong>~Hubert H. Humphrey</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</strong><br />
<span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>This article is a repost from our old blog &#8211; originally dated May 2008.</strong></span><br />
<strong>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</strong></p>
<p><em>At present the universe has blown me to Britain, ostensibly to write my first book manuscript, but in actuality it is for so much more.  Some of my strongest past life occurrences happened here and I have memories here from this life as well. </em></p>
<p><em>The country is green and lush and offers many opportunities for being in a remote place, communing with yourself and nature. </em></p>
<p><em>And so, settling down for now in beautiful, spiritual Glastonbury, I find myself not writing a book as much as healing. </em></p>
<p><em>The energies here have propelled me to heal wounds that, until recently, I did not even know existed, both present and past life. </em></p>
<p><em>And it has not been SO difficult to face, not as hard and harrowing as one might expect.  I feel that the Earth energies here and the help of my guides has made the process as smooth, and relatively painless, as it can be. </em></p>
<p><em>Of course, there will likely come releases of energy and awareness and belief patterns that may not be so easy.  But that time is not now.</em></p>
<p><em>Still, for now, the process is flowing smoothly and I must assume that it is happening because it needs to, in order to allow my book to manifest. </em></p>
<p><em>As part of this healing journey, which I had not expected to be taking, I had a private shamanic healing session.  This was my experience:</em></p>
<p>The shamanic healer, who is female but called by the name of <a href="http://www.bridgethealingcentre.co.uk/jay.htm">Jay (like a British jaybird,)</a> is based here in Glastonbury at the <a href="http://bridgethealingcentre.co.uk/">Bridget Healing Centre</a>.</p>
<p>Her voice and appearance are both gentle and calming, which is why I chose her the minute that I met her.  <em>(They also have another shamanic healer named <a href="http://www.bridgethealingcentre.co.uk/kestrel.html">Kestrel,</a> whom I&#8217;ve never met.)</em></p>
<p>Jay was very understanding about the situations that I explained to her and did not<span id="more-189"></span> think me weird.  Most people in Glastonbury are open to spiritual and unseen topics and DO NOT think me weird. <em>Trust me when I say that this is unique to any place or people that I have ever known.<br />
</em><br />
At the time of our session she had me take off my shoes and spoke sweetly and kindly to me as we prepared for the healing.  She led me to a beautiful and sunny room that was robin&#8217;s egg blue.  <em>(I had been seeing boatloads of robins everywhere, so this was very interesting to me.)</em></p>
<p>The room had been prepared with drums, chimes and smudge sticks.  There was a nice, hydraulic table <em>(similar to a massage table)</em> that I laid on, face-up.</p>
<p>I then closed my eyes and Jay began chanting and drumming.</p>
<p>Though there was noise in the street below, she introduced the idea that it was all part of the healing session and that only whatever energies I most needed would permeate the space.</p>
<p>During this hour long session I passed through many emotions and levels of energy.</p>
<p>Jay often spoke in tongues and mumbled under her breath.  I got the visual of old grandmother tribal leaders hovering over me in a dark hut.  Being a spirit channel, none of this bothered me.  I actually found the feeling of it all to be quite familiar.</p>
<p>Many times I felt that it was not just she and I, but a whole room full of people who were there.  There were so many guides, both hers and mine, as well as elementals and a couple of wise spirits.</p>
<p>I could sense tribesmen of some kind all there chanting and dancing for my healing.</p>
<p>At least twice I felt her tug something, perhaps an energy blockage, out of my aura and actually felt the pull on a physical level.  This action immediately let in more light to my energy field.</p>
<p>At the end she asked me to wait until she left the room to open my eyes.  She brought me a glass of water and we spoke softly for a few minutes.</p>
<p>She told me of the guides that she had seen for me, of what energy repair she had done and how my energy now felt to her.  I left the place with a genuine spring in my step, and just the energy buzz lasted for several days.</p>
<p><strong>I would say that it was the most gentle, effective and moving healing that I have EVER had.</strong></p>
<p>The key is in reading the healer before choosing one, in being able to fully trust not only their abilities but their integrity.  Once you have that, you can allow all manner of things to be released from you.</p>
<p>I feel like some things that had needed to go for a long time have dissipated greatly.  I also feel like some things that had been missing, for an even longer time, have finally returned.</p>
<p>Thanks Jay!!!</p>

<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Spiritual energy flows in and produces effects in the phenomenal world.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>~<strong>William James, American psychologist and philosopher</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><em>At the time of this channeling Serge and I were living in Glastonbury, Somerset in southern England.  Many of you probably know this town better as the Isle of Avalon, the site of ley lines, King Arthur&#8217;s Tomb and the home to the Lady of the Lake and the famous <a href="http://www.glastonburytor.org.uk/">Glastonbury Tor</a>.</em></p>
<p><em>While channeling with the Kosmopharos, they called Glastonbury &#8220;the starship&#8221; and, having finally been able to see the energies and the vortex here in Avalon, we decided to ask them more about this concept.</em></p>
<p><em>These are their words:</em></p>
<hr />What do you feel in this place?  You feel the energy of new beginnings.</p>
<p>That would be true and for others it is the feeling of imminent death.</p>
<p>There is a vortex here.  What does that mean?  It means that this place, its magical rolling hills, the mineral deposits upon which it sits, the gateway to the ocean that it once was, the healing waters that flow within it and out of it, is one of the many gateways.</p>
<p>It is truly a place that is no place.</p>
<p>On its surface it sits here on the Earth, but it could just as easily lift up and break away, float into the universe. It has a mirror, beneath the ground.  For every bump and hill and valley above ground, there is an <span id="more-84"></span>exact opposite connected to it beneath ground.  It is aerodynamically shaped,  like a ship.</p>
<p>But it is the vortex that connects it to other places in the universe and other places on this planet.  It is a portal, not created by man, but existing in nature. Vortices can be of any size, of any shape of many different ages.  It is a confluence of Earth and universal energies, running above and beneath the ground here, that naturally creates the button which opens it as a portal.</p>
<p>Changes can take place very quickly or very slowly here.  Almost at an unnatural pace. Haven’t you noticed?</p>
<p>It is the closest thing to light speed that can happen within a human life, within the human mind.  Things that are impossible, or seemingly so, anywhere else will happen with ease in this place.  And things that will happen with ease anywhere else will be seemingly impossible in this place.</p>
<p>The more you learn to feel energy, to suspend disbelief, to put away the structure that you have built and that has been built for you and simply BE in a place, in the energy of a place, to believe in the past and the future, the magic, the masculine and feminine within you, the closer you will come to a true understanding.</p>
<p>Is that of any comfort? Now, do you understand why we call it a starship?</p>
<hr /><strong>Well yes, and no.  But the explanation gave much food for thought and has caused us to look at this special place with new eyes.  If you have the opportunity to visit a vortex place, I highly recommend it, and be sure to have some quiet time to yourself while there.</strong></p>
