I think my visit to Glastonbury has flipped the lid on all my emotions...

[Nemofish]

I feel like an emotional volcano - constantly going through cycles of sadness, compassion, panic, love, fear, hate... blimey.

Had a week in Glastonbury, we went to Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge where I went all Earth Mothery (as did dh but he won't admit it!) and round the town on two separate occasions. I bought stuff, ooh such lovely stuff!

In order to go on holiday I had to go on diazepam 2mg X 3 a day, could this emotional stuff be connected with that too, as obviously I haven't had any since the last day of our holiday (friday)

Or am I just a whacked out hippie lunatic? yes

Oh Nemo, I was thinking about you and wondering when you were going away. I know you are a sensitive, could it be that due being in amongst the different energies, this is bringing about a clearing for you?

I think you were going back to your roots. Sometimes places just have that effect? x

Glastonbury just has a special atmosphere about it. I wonder what came first - the atmosphere or the stories / legends?

It's a lovely place - good on ya for picking up on it .

Oh yes tis certainly a clearing, indigobarbie!

Met a lovely psychic medium at the Bath and West Show, I am having some advice via a phone reading from her later this month - she does psychic development teaching too so could be very fortuitous.

I must admit I like feeling the love though. It's like... I love the universe and it loves me...

It's a bit like part of me has been zapped to the 60's. Like wow.

Wow Nemo, You are on an energy trip! All free aswell Awesome stuff. So powerful. I have to be planning some travel for later on methinks.

Are you keeping a journal of your feelings/thoughts etc. I try to do this so I can look back and learn, always very interesting.

Having any dreams lately? Do you get to wear long floaty goddess type clothes? Phone reading sounds great too!

Yes I had very sexy dreams as soon as I got back! I was the pregnant Goddess and Dh was a Cerunnos type figure with a huge appendage!

It certainly feels special down there, I did worry that I would want to move down there. But I am a Yorkshire girl at heart.

I think we have a bit of the magic up here in Yorkshire too, but I feel we need to develop it more. I live in a big city and I am quite surprised sometimes by the lask of local access to proper woo services, iykwim. Some hairdresser doing the 'Chinese healing art of Rieki' (I kid you not) is not up to standard for a city of this size.

I'll have to see if I can do something about that when I've come down

really powerful things can happen after a trip there, ime anyway. I concieved dd!! after 3 yrs of no luck!

I think it's a place of such openess and beauty. Just keep yourself grounded, literally. Imagine your feet firmly planted into the ground. I am guesing that the trip and the diazepam, are mixing up the thought processes and un earthing emotionas for you. You can't be sure, but as i say, try to embrace happiness, but also be mindful of your sense of wellbeing and make efforts to be centered.

Nemo, I am so glad you had a rewarding visit to my Favourite-est ever place, the Land of Avalon.
We were there in the glorious weather of a few weeks ago and it was wonderful. I have been there in every weather, had to buy waterproofs for one trip, and have always loved it. However, the sunshine and warmth was really good in that it enabled us to be 'slow' when we were there.

We walked through the lanes, visited Chalice Well every day, watched the sun set from Wearyall Hill, (surrounded by mountains, we never get that sense of the sun 'dropping' over the horizon)

In the middle of the week we had a day when DP and I realised we had hardly spoken to each other, but were drained as our inner voices and debates were constantly spinning through our heads!

We climbed the Tor, and the presence of the pilgrims who have made that journey before us and who will do so in the future was so strong. I found a little dip just down from the top of the Tor and snuggled down out of the wind to read and journal but fell asleep and just dreamed and dreamed.

I am hanging on to that inner peace and the serenity to deal with my underlying tendency to depression.
It doesn;t sound as though I'm having as much fun as you though!
Blessings, Nemo I hope you contine to feel well and to explore all this wonderful world has to offer us.

breathes a happy sigh, and nods to all on the thread .x

There are particular locations that possess so much spiritual energy that out spirits soar just by being there.

I must organise a visit soon....

Roll with it Nemo, it's an amazing feeling to reconnect with your inner self

me too mrsruffalo, mine is well overdue. me and ex dh took dd up there when she was 2, she is now 8. We took my lovely best friend up, and her dc's, as there dad had just left them.

Said friend is coming to the UK in August and I feel we will have such a great time if we go again. need the release !!!

Summer holidays soon...a great time for being instead of doing.
This school holiday
we went to the forest until dusk, it was such a cleansing experience...

Do you think I can get round Glastonbury without a car?
I am car less atm and haven't done it on foot before

oh deffo, it's not very big is it. How are you plannig on getting there, coach?

Glastonbury is seriously odd. I am not fond of woo but there is something strange (in a good way) about the place. We live just down the road so visit quite often. Ley lines converge on the Tor - so supposedly a huge energy centre.

yep seriously orm!!

deffo leyline convergence in the tent back in 2002. We stayed at a lovely campsite, Old oaks, which since then i belive is now 'no kids'. bizarre.

We didn't get to go to Chalice Well or the Tor.

I was a bit constrained as dh can't walk too far all in one day and I felt like I was dragging the girls round to 'my stuff' a bit too much. Although dd (4) is a happy hippy and will go anywhere outdoors.

They'll keep for next year though.

I have 'come down' now and I feel very peaceful, I was hurting so badly before and now I've gone all 'it is what it is.' I can't force people to be decent human beings, if they're not, then they're not, there's nothing I can do and wishing it otherwise only causes me more pain.

So I definitely took acceptance away with me from the experience, also I took the exciting idea that there are some things I have control over, for instance I control how hard I work in life and in what directions I choose to go.

Avebury has more 'power'. Glastonbury is just full of weirdos .
I love walking around the Avebury stones and running up and down the ditches with the children.
Another good place to visit for other wordly feeling is Puzzlewood in the Forest of Dean.
Looks like nothing on the outside but once you get in there it's like something out of the 'Lord of the rings'.

Will remember that, thanks Ripeberry.

I find Glastonbury can feel lovely but can also feel a bit scratchy. The Chalice Well though is wonderful and like stepping out of the world for a bit.

Were you there that really hot weekend in May Earthymama? I was there too, all day Saturday and all day Sunday on a workshop! I wonder if we saw each other?

What workshop did you do Revelry?

One of the most spiritual places I know is in Holford combe near Watchet on the SOmerset coast. It's a mixture of ancient oak forest - small twisted trees - on the upper slopes, and long straight beech trees on the lower slopes, and a stream winding about the bottom. Moss and green turf and old beech and oak leaves carpeting the floor. If you go there on a late winter afternoon it gets dimsy and quiet and you glimpse deer antlers through the trees. I always feel that the Green Man is there. Which is intriguing but not entirely comfortable.

I find places empty of people a great deal more intense than places tramelled by humanity.

Orm thats 1000 woo points for you, and possibly an enamelled badge or some sort of trophy!

supersalstrawberry could you not reflect the parking ticket back to them using a banishing spell? Or does that mean the parking ticket would return to you threefold?

Btw I think I recognise your name supersal, have you ever had anything to do with the Northern Green Gathering festival?

Ah, was a stab in the dark anyway!
