Enchanted Energies of Shap Abbey

Well Woman Water Questing
A day venturing to Shap Abbey 💙💚🌊🌀
A hidden Abbey in the heart of Enchanted Cumbria.
A walk over the old stone bridge, through a field, passed the well spring with its clear running water trickling over the bricks, to the kissing gate of the ruins.
What a beautiful magic Elen energy line this is.

“The Premonstratensians at Shap Abbey were a small community of about 12 canons, governed by an abbot. The abbey was founded in 1200 by Thomas, son of Gospatric, a local baron who donated land to the canons. The abbey was the last to be founded in England and the last to be dissolved by Henry VIII in 1540.

The ruins of Shap Abbey are located by the River Lowther, a short distance from Shap. The abbey is in the care of English Heritage”. (English-heritage.org)

Reflection – Needs

Art by Janice

Open my hand to Magnificent One, and stretch out my fingertips beyond all knowing

Feel into the spacious capacity to believe

In all that will be, is palpable, touchable within me

The All is a Presence inside my Soul, hidden from my hands only from a belief in Me

Crescendo upon the shores of my palm. 

I am ready to receive all the shells of this sea

and weave them together,

like a necklace of needs which I now perceive to be reality

Reflection – Silence

Artwork by Janice

Silence

Stillness

Self emptying

These are the moments at the Altar of the Heart

No-thing is created

No thoughts,  no memories, no pondering

Only the Heart and the Breath

Are Heard

Here is the Soul

Listen

#Reflection – Bring What You Love

The Altar is a place to bring what you Love. A place to represent our emotions, feelings and memories, our energies. We tend to tie some of these energies to objects that arose these connections. We are thus creating a direction for healing and wholing to the sacredness of our Being, our Altar.

Bring what you Love to the Altar stirs our felt senses to the surface, so we become our own witness, our own compassionate heart. It releases our inner spirit to move to truth, honesty and reverence from the tightness of our tender enclosure. This connection, these objects, give us the feeling of prayer, the spirit of the heart to be expressed in a smooth creative process.

This is the language of Spirit, of Spirit meeting our true nature and our true nature being expressed. It is a representation of our Spirit connecting to our Truth.

The Altar is a place to hand over all that was, all that can be and empty into the stillness of the heart

With every breath, rests into Love.

Into the presence

Into spaciousness

Where Love enters and lays on the Altar of the Heart.

#Reflection for #Sundaynightcandlelight 13th – 14th July

The Sanctuary inside the Temple is quiet and still

There is a softening with every echoing step towards the Altar.

On the Altar the candle flame in the glass bowl  beams a warming red.

The gaze softens, the body responds. All that is required is to breathe, feel the glow within and breathe some more, and some more….

Reflection for #sundaynightcandlelight 6th -7th July

Where is my safe place?

My body is a Temple

My Breath is Sanctuary

The felt sense is the Altar

The Cornice is my Edge

Reflection #sundaynightcandlelight 29th – 30th Jun

I planted seeds some time ago. They have been rooting in the dark soil, reaching their flowering potential.

Today I see the first opening, first light,  blossoming.

And now I wait to see how this unfolds. Knowing I made these wishes, these prayers, then forgot.  Then noticed, with childlike curiosity, bubbling, at what is about to be.

Nothing is lost, the beginning is the past, the unfolding is the future, the opening is here.
