On our last visit to our sacred site in Itchen Woods, where the ancestral beings who once lived there initiated us into many of the energies I now use, we were once again gifted. This time, with a health attunement.
As we walked towards the site, we stopped where three paths crossed, and we were both aware of a vortex here. A white channel of light descended around us. The golden harp was in that energy too, and I felt that lovely sense of connection and a feeling of being welcomed to the energy of the banjo enclosure.
Once inside the Banjo enclosure, we stood in the centre, and immediately I saw a white dome appear over the site, the same colour as the channel. Chris was then given a hazelnut and I an acorn.
I then acknowledged the four directions by turning and facing into each one. I'm still not sure what that's about.
We were then offered a large gold chalice filled with nectar, which we were told to drink and which would nourish us. It replenishes the cells and fills them with the sweetness of life. They explained that when the body is in pain, it is because the part that is in pain is blocking life. The nectar would remind the cells that they are loved so life could flow in again.
Next, we were given a herb pillow to help us get a restful sleep. It was like an Elizabethan herbal pillow.
We were then given a cloak each. Chris's was blue, and mine red. The red was about inflammation in my body and the need to heal from the inside out; Chris's was about healing from the outside in. Inner nurturing and outer nurturing.
I thought this was all personal until I was told to remember these four parts, and I realised it was to be an attunement.
A woman then emerged from a beech tree and approached us. She told us to hold out our hands. Into my hand, to my surprise, she placed a sugar cube. But when she placed a £1 coin into Chris's hand, I understood. These were our biggest weaknesses. Mine was sugar, comfort food. Chris's was the stress around money. Two things that have deep inner meaning for us.
Before she returned to the tree, she told us to return in Springtime. These were her winter gifts. Then she said goodbye and returned to the tree as if it were a portal.
So until spring I will work on everything she suggested, and let's see what happens.
