Oracle of Consciousness
Journeys of the Soul
Glastonbury
Angelique and Jake's flight took them from west-to-east over America, across 'The Pond', as the Atlantic Ocean is affectionately termed, into London Heathrow's bustling airport, covering a total of 8620 kilometres and just over 10 hours flying time.
San Francisco is 8 hours behind London time, just perfect for jet-lag to kick in!
Fortunately the traveling couple had no time constraints, nor had to get anywhere, to any schedule.
"That is what you get when you truly are a free spirit," Angelique quipped, through droopy eyelids that evening.
The next morning over a hearty English breakfast, where Angelique replaced the bacon with fresh field mushrooms, and Jake didn't, the couple considered their activities over the next few days, sans jet lag.
Which meant today was going to be quiet and relatively uneventful, a refreshing change from their full-on adventures these past few months!
Angelique opted for a gentle massage, while Jake listened to some of his favourite music, in between snoozes.
It would have been easy to fill their days with endless sight-seeing, dashing from one spectacular place to another, but they remained steadfastly committed to their 'Chakra Journey.'
Being so close now, Angelique planned to have a short visit to rendezvous with her parents in France after the last chakra had been explored, and was subtly coaxing Jake into reconciling with his family.
Glastonbury, a town in Somerset in the south-west of England as it turned out, was very different to the other sacred places they had visited.
Most, with the exception of Cairo in Egypt, were located in off-the-beaten-track areas.
Glastonbury is a buzzing and vibrant town attracting spiritual tourists from all over the country and world.
Never-the-less it still holds its oldie world charm and sacred history, going back through the ages.
They opted to stay centrally in the Crown Hotel to enjoy the warm weather, alfresco eateries serving up great coffees, fattening pasties and after sun-down, delicious, homemade scrumpy apple cider, in lieu of beer.
Hey they are on holidays, who could blame them for a little indulgence!
Typically now, they explored the charming shops and peripheral sites before they ventured into the special, sacred ones.
Many of the shops contained spiritual goodies such as dream-catchers, crystals, incense, cards, books and music, to name just a few.
Clearly this place is a haven for spiritual seekers, with a wide variety of modalities offered like sound healing, tarot card reading, yoga, mysticism, meditation, energy work, healing sessions and throw in some amazing music concerts and one could never be bored in Glastonbury!
One sunny afternoon, the pair laid down on the green grass, holding hands, with their eyes closed, and after a few minutes of stillness were spontaneously drawn into a downwards spiral of energy.
Down, down, down, they were gently carried until all movement ceased and they were enveloped in a sphere of pure, unadulterated love.
A love so intense, unfettered and complete, the likes of which neither had ever experienced.
It permeated every nook and cranny of their physical, mental and emotional bodies and deep into their souls.
Effortlessly and spontaneously, with no prior agenda, they had arrived at the heart of Mother Earth.
It was Jake's light squeeze on Angelique's hand that brought them both back to the Earth's surface, the warm sun and soft grass.
Both were speechless with tears of joy flooding down their cheeks.
Neither had any idea how long they had been 'gone.'
They lay there in a state of euphoria for some time, soaking up and integrating what had just transpired.
It was Angelique who gently broke the silent elation, "Jake my darling, what was your experience?"
Jake was still choked up and replied, "This is the love I never had as a kid, that I always yearned for, but was so elusive.
You showed me the way Angel, opening my heart to what is forever there, and now I have experienced unimaginable and unconditional love, like I never thought was possible for me," he sobbed.
Angelique held his hand tighter and replied, "It seems we had exactly the same experience of Mother Earth's heart and love for all her species that roam her surface, below ground and in the deepest oceans."
"As a living entity, Mother Earth keeps on giving, giving, and giving to us humans, with no expectations of anything in return."
"It is love in its purest form." She added.
Jake smiled and said, "Then it will be our job as willing ambassadors, to show people how to respect and honour our true and precious mother."
And so it was that Angelique and Jake, paved the way for their future.
