Sarah’s Blog – A Magical Story Part 2

And so, I came into the circle this week, feeling blessed and touched by the universe. I knew I wasn’t going to be attending the circle much between now and the end of the year, so I wanted to drink up the lovely energy and atmosphere. Whatever the pace of life was when I was outside the circle, I always felt good whenever I walked into the church library. It was nice to have this constant in one’s life. I was becoming aware that this was a special moment each week to be savoured, when one could go inwards and find the resources one needed. It was always awesome (and no I don’t mean that in the American way dude…), but just genuine awe, to sit in the magical presence of spirit, the very fabric of our being, bigger than us, of a cosmic intelligence we could not fathom, and let it touch one’s life in whichever way it was needed. It was nice to remember too each week, that we are not just this body, confined to time and space, the sometimes difficult vibration of earthly life, and its challenges within and without. That is enough to be honest, anything after that is just icing on the cake.

As we all sat down and closed our eyes, Doreen’s gentle voice led us deeper into the meditation and stillness. She talked about the Holy Spirit and allowing it to touch us and guide our lives. We talk about spirit but do we remember that it is holy? And by that, please don’t think I mean that term in any formal religious sense, just to remember the sacred mystery of our existence and also the presence of boundless love and wisdom of spirit. I thought too about the image of the Holy Spirit in the Ghent altarpiece, the dove descending, that I had seen the week earlier during my magical few days in Belgium. I did feel the presence of holiness this week at the circle, but I experienced it as sweetness, gentleness, the human’s impulse towards kindness and friendship. As this gentle energy touched me, I sent out this healing to anybody in the world, all the people who were suffering, who found themselves in difficult situations. At this time there are many who suffer all around the world…

I also noticed that this week in my energy body, as well as the fluttering around my shoulders, which always seemed to herald the presence of spirit coming close to my aura, a kind of cold zone around me too. I’d not had this before. It happened after Doreen suggested we connect with one of our guides. I felt the familiar feeling of angelic energy coming down into me, and the unmistakable feeling of my face changing into an angelic face as angelic energy poured into my body. I’d often had the feeling when I did healing but it was incredibly powerful now, and was coupled with this cold energy around me, as if I was in a bubble or sphere of different energy. I noticed by embodying the energy, it had the power to instantly calm me and put me into a wise frame of mind. It seemed to be teaching something as it entered into my aura, as if I was able to download its wisdom. I can only explain it as imprint that I could align with energetically, I was deeply moved by the beauty, harmony and proportion of the face I sensed overlaid over mine. It seemed to be reminding me of the absolute perfection of our true soul nature, when we are not distracted in the word of form and the comparative universe. It gave me a sense of dignity and completion that I realised nothing on this earth, no matter how I tried, could ever give me. Our forms, if we allowed them to express the beauty of our souls, were indeed holy.

Later when I got home, I tried to find a picture that could come close to capturing what I experienced…

 

May you know that feeling of divine beauty and love too.
