Moments of magic are all around us
Walking into the energetic echoes of those who have gone before us. Some places have a presence, a feeling and energy which seems to be held in the fabric of the walls or beneath our feet.
Peoples amazing experiences over time have left a tangible imprint in our physical reality. If we take a moment to raise our awareness, we can tune into the living memory of the Earth and deepen our sense of belonging and appreciation of the world around us. Step closer to the magic of our world and better understand our true history across time and space.
We are walking through moments of magic all the time, locations where people have paused to see something or experience something which has invoked an emotion or feeling. Something has resonated within them, and they have connected a little deeper to themselves and felt the presence and infinite nature of their own being.
Physical locations on Earth hold power and energy. Take a closer look at ley lines, they span the globe and are alignments of energy that connect ancient and sacred sites across the landscape. In the UK for example, places like Stonehenge and Avebury, Glastonbury Tor, the Arthur Findlay College and Burrows Lea all have an energetic relevance, and people are draw to these locations today. It is a common belief that these sites were known and used by generational pioneers and past civilisations for spiritual and ceremonial purposes. The question is, why? My thought, these energy centres occurred naturally as spaces for process and connection. As sensitive beings we gravitated towards these places and found freedom in thought and clarity in our connection to Mother Earth and the energy of the unseen world. The more people visited and used these sites for this purpose, the more the energetic imprint increased. People took what they needed and left a part of themselves to unlock deeper understanding for others to find.
Arthur Findlay College
When working with students at the Arthur Findlay College, I often talk about the energy left by the pioneers and previous visitors who have all connected a little deeper to themselves and left a moment of magic in space and time. These moments are held within matter, the energy becomes part of the fabric of the walls. A resonance that gently pulses for people to step into and use.
Arthur Findlay College is a residential centre, situated at Stansted Hall in Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex. Founded in 1964, it was gifted by Arthur Findlay for the furtherment of Spiritualism and psychic sciences. Set within beautiful grounds, the College offers lectures, workshops and live demonstrations led by world respected tutors in mediumship, spiritual healing, trance, psychic and spirit art, meditation and philosophy.
Finding moments of magic
How many times have we found ourselves just pausing for a moment, stopped in our tracks as if we have stepped into a moment of wonder and appreciation? Looking out over a wonderful landscape, admiring a historic building, in ore of a painting by an old master, or simply pausing at the top of a grand staircase and taking a breath before descending. These moments are magic and take our breath away. They bring us to the present, our senses heightened, physically we become aware of where we are, emotionally open to experiencing the moment without judgement, mentally observing what’s happening in and around us. We anchor something in the space. We connect more deeply to our being and our spiritual self. This leaves a resonance within time and space which is recorded in matter. In essence, we leave a sprinkling of magic, how we saw and experienced the moment in our own uniqueness is left for someone else to step into in the future.
Stepping into energy
We are not the first and we won’t be the last. Everything has already been done before, well that might not entirely be true but energetically we are certainly also picking up on moments left by others. Have you ever walked into a room and felt uplifted, excited or fearful? Spaces have an energetic memory and hold the energy of what’s gone before. You are stepping into moments of wonder or magic left by other people. When you are present, relaxed but aware, you find it easier to recognise moments of magic. Something comes into your awareness to make you pause and take note. There is something in the space to explore, knowledge, love or a question to answer, something from a moment left by someone else. Just like the gentle perfume lingers once the flowers have been removed from the vase. Energy leaves an imprint, something to be experienced. We can build on this energy, stepping into a moment countless people have experienced before, leaving your own imprint and interpretation. Adding to the energy of time and space, recorded in energy and matter.
Working in the energy
When a facilitator has a group of students working in a room, talking about art or philosophy and the conversation allows all participants to be present, to be themselves and to have personal realisations, exploring something more deeply. A philosophy which starts to turn from the knowledge of others into their wisdom, the energy and resonance of that experience is felt by all. The room or physical location holds that journey and update. The next group who uses the room will step into the energy and find the steps towards the update. A lovely way to think about working with a group of students, we can go so much further within the group energy.
Healing energy
Let’s consider this idea within healing. Many places are considered to have relaxing and healing energies. Burrows Lea, for example, the home of the Harry Edwards Foundation in the Surrey Hills, UK. It is deeply regarded by visitors and healers as possessing a strong and restorative energy. The space was chosen by Harry Edwards, who was a renowned healer and chose the site for the energy he felt when he walked up the driveway.
Many different healing modalities have been practiced over the years, Healers have delivered healing, sent distant healing and held space. All of these moments of healing magic have helped to build a strong and vibrant energy for healing and release.
Take time to pause for a moment of magic
In society today we don’t fully understand the history of Mother Earth, all the people who have been before us, and the lost civilisations over time. To come closer to the truth I can imagine that the feeling of love, beauty and authentic moments of magic are all recorded in the energy of rock and the resonance of buildings and spaces. Nature remembers and holds the living memory of our planet. All of these moments of magic are there for us to step into and enjoy.
Next time you stop to experience a moment of magic or appreciation of where you are and what you are doing, share a thought for all the people who came before and all the people yet to arrive. Embody your unique experience, the feeling of love, excitement and realisation you have adds to the energy, becomes part of nature and blends seamlessly into the earth beneath your feet and the fabric of the walls.
