Hello and welcome to Five Minutes in Nature and you join me on day 20 of my pilgrimage as I walk across England following the Michael and Mary energy currents.
And today in Somerset I've reached a place called North Currie and I'm on a slope overlooking the Somerset Levels,
Just what looks like miles and miles of flat land.
It's quite different from the terrain I've been used to,
Which has been very hilly and up and down.
This is just a vast,
Well I guess it's a flood plain,
And this before it was drained by farmers would have been quite marshy,
Impenetrable ground,
But now it's arable land and used for farming.
And this has been a day of contrasts.
The warmth today,
Quite soporific when I started out feeling the warmth of the sun,
And then the coolness as I went into churches was absolutely exquisite.
I felt the flatness of the landscape and then this sudden incline,
A very steep hill that took me into the woods,
So contrasting the flat with the steepness of the hill.
Again,
A real contrast there.
And then finally I reached a node point that the Michael and Mary energy currents actually cross over.
And this particular node point was at a church called Creech St Michael.
And the energy currents crossed over in the middle of the church.
And I spent some time in the church just being present to the atmosphere and just feeling it's a deep,
I think the way I would describe it is like a deep ancient aliveness.
It's hard to describe.
So there's a contrast between the male and female energy.
I like that and the meeting that they have in the church.
And then when I came out of the church and was walking beside the River Tone,
I felt the aliveness of spring,
A different vibrant energy,
Very different from that sort of ancient sacred energy that I felt within the church.
So this for me has been a day of contrasts and with the contrast there's also balance.
Yesterday,
I shared how I was feeling a little bit sad that I hadn't heard from some of my family members.
And I just sat with that.
There was no thinking,
There was no blame.
I didn't think I needed to tell people to call me or to connect.
I just stayed with that.
And this morning as I was walking,
It just occurred to me to send a voice message.
And I did.
I sent a voice message to my sibling.
I was thinking of him.
I just wanted to say I loved him.
Not directly.
I just said I was thinking of him and just asked how he was,
Which was my expression of love to him.
And it absolutely came from that place of love and settledness.
So again,
That contrast from yesterday where I kind of felt the unsettledness and today I felt that settledness and I understood what was right for me to do.
And he responded and it feels as though balance has been reached there.
So today as I finish my day,
I'm very aware of the balance and contrast of the day,
The hot of the day,
The heat of the day,
The cool of the church,
The Michael and Mary lines,
The male and female energy lines coming together to the contrast of the lines and then the balance as they meet.
The lie of the land being so flat and yet there being hills.
And then finally that sense of settledness,
Which was a contrast from how I felt last night and the connection with a loved one.
This pilgrimage is teaching me so much that I can't even put into words and I just feel so immensely grateful.
This has been a beautiful day and I feel so blessed to be and so privileged to be able to walk this route.
