Yesterday was the second day of "Walking the Path". It was a mixture of different self realisation exercises beginning in the studio with a deep exploration of the mind, how the ego internally wants to own the show, what internal processes are activating, how thought, emotions and feelings are generated and especially, how to open an internal space so that we begin to transcend such identification. Here's a view of the light and airy studio we're working in.

We spent time out in the Well just observing and watching our thoughts and feelings in relation to external events, circumstances and places.

Here's a typical tranquil location in the Well, with the gentle trickle of a waterfall bringing people ever close to the poignant clarity of now.

The highlight for us, and a big shift in group consciousness, was the six senses walk up around various locations behind the Well in the rolling hills of Avalon, close to the Tor. The energy is so special here and we were blessed by amazingly crisp and clear weather. It brought an increased intensity to the senses.

As we explored deeply each sense with various exercises, the accumulating effect was to transcend the physical and literally step into a new world of heightened awareness and interconnectivity. From this point, the sixth sense is greatly strengthened - our psychic gifts - which then guide people through a hidden code, speaking the loving language of synchronicity. One that simply melts the heart.

We're having a simply magical time

Well yet again our hearts have been touched by a lovely group of kindred spirits. Each 'course' we do (can it be so simply called such?), weaves an incredible journey through inner layers of consciousness. We've gone deep into our resistances, those filtering layers that temporarily define us with some fixed and limited reality. Now we can see them, they're brought into the light. It's then that we're provided with a gift so precious - the chance to let the layer slide away.

And you did that so marvelously. When we danced together in the clear sense of new, unfettered beingness, what a joy to behold! As Trinity and myself held the space, we watched souls flowering into a bright sunrise. Although I've witnessed this many times, I could never 'get used to it' , I could never take it for granted. Each time, it simply melts my heart.

And who will forget the sharings as the gathering came to a close? We'd let 'the pull' carry us for a couple of hours, free wheeling around Glastonbury, drinking in the signs and synchronicity. How strong the flow becomes when we know how to perceive it, when we know what it's really saying. How it stirs the soul to realise the universe is constantly speaking to us with messages of encouragement, love and directive unfolding. Could there be anything better than this? Isn't this true abundance?

If I were to single out one sharing, it would be the final one, which totally captivated everyone in the group. Jasmine you voiced something so pure, so exposed, so vulnerable and simultaneously so powerful..."what else is there to do?" (but walk the path), "there is no point doing anything else", "I'd rather die". These are the words of a truly realigned soul, which I could feel resonating through every fibre of me. You invite us all to be so surrendered. Thank you!

To all the beautiful souls who joined us, and everyone who tuned in, you touch my heart.
