she went to glastonbury in hopes of finding some inspiration for her final chapter
A quiet day for meditation in Glastonbury yesterday.
Chalice well. It was a beautiful place to sit quietly. I don't even know what to say about this place. It is a beautiful and peaceful place and the joyful, healing vibrations just thrum through my heart. The second picture is the place from which it's safe to drink the spring water. I took two sips, and I'm so grateful, it feels so incredible to have a dream made reality, I've said the word incredible so many times today, but truly, I count my blessings each and every day. The second two pictures are King Arthur's court and healing pool.
"The healing pool, where you can walk through the water, has been here since the middle of the 18th century. In the cascade that feeds the pool, you can see the rich red iron that the water contains"
I walked through this pool twice, and it gave me such a good feeling of unburdening myself. I don't know how to properly express this thought but I feel like a lot of healing can occur through your feet (reflexology for example..) I don't know, but it felt amazing. I felt extremely light while I was here. Not weighed down by anything. Safe.
