We were back after a few weeks off and had the room set up
as usual.
At 8.30 we started with the Rainbow Bridge Exercise.
Liz found herself by a large blue lake, it felt like
Scotland. There was a rope bridge which led to an island but Liz decided to
swim out to the island. It was sand and grass with some animals on it, goats,
sheep, and gazelles. The bridge was wicker on the other side leading to the
land where there were beautiful structures, places of worship and Liz saw lots
of butterflies and moths. Somebody with a white donkey was waiting to greet
her. He wore a robe, a monk and gave his name as Patrick and let Liz sit on the
donkey. He took her to their palace which was beehive like huts with an
enormous cave under the ground. A lot of cream white wool robed monks and
priests were sitting in a circle, chanting for the replenishment and renewal of
the earth. Liz felt she was part of it as she listened and watched for a while.
Then she turned herself into a moth and flew back to her side…
My visualisation took a while to get going then I became
aware of a giant drip of water hovering in front of me. I could see images
inside the water and decided to close my eyes, hold my breath and push my head
into it. I then opened my eyes and found I could still breathe. I felt a
swirling sensation encircling me as everything began to expand until I found
myself standing in a new landscape. Everything looked reddish and baron like
the surface of Mars. There was a river with steaming water and a bright
chromium bridge which I crossed and met a monk or priest like character wearing
black robes and something dark over his head as I couldn’t see his face. He
held out a cushion with two keys placed on it offering them to me. When I
picked them up he said ‘Hold them to the light’ There was a sun in the sky
which I found I could look at without being dazzled so I held the keys up to
that then started to see lots of different faces appearing in the sky. The
music was ending at this point and he said ‘Go now’ Instead of moving I just
shook my head and the water around it disappeared leaving me back where I
started still holding the two keys…
I then did the opening prayer and put the music back on.
I was getting colder.
Liz had an itchy nose.
I had a bright blob in front of me.
Liz thought the atmosphere was looking mottled.
I was getting even colder and it felt like a breeze was
blowing over my legs.
I got some words and names…
‘Patrick… Raymond…
Class of ’48… Mrs Higgins or Higginbottom’
Liz felt her mouth being opened and then a sense of light around
her.
I had a fuzzy feeling on my left leg and felt something in
my hair.
Liz sensed a dark wave coming across her and felt like she
was being pulled backwards.
It felt to her like she had suddenly woken up to this
sensation, like entering another reality.
Liz said some inspired words…
‘The grey doves that
nestle in my breast… want to hold them… warm in my heart… I’ve tied knots in my
belt, a cord belt, to remind me, a kindness…’
I felt light touches around my left ear.
I had a fuzzy feeling on my right foot.
Liz had an image of a black crow.
I asked if it brought a message and she said…
‘Starlight… Corby…’
I got very cold suddenly.
Liz was also cold.
Liz then reported a sensation of warm liquid being pulled
from her right ear.
She was also getting vibrations in her back like she had
experienced for the first time last Monday in the Mercury Light Circle.
Liz got an image of a long knotted cord again.
I asked her what the knots represented and she said…
‘Something to do with
penitence and remembering… remembering the faults and correcting them, to
perfect, bringing them to mind in order to transmute them to do better next
time… to bring to mind all the impediments… nurse things that stand in the way
with kindness and simplicity… and to sincerely wish to change… and the
harshness, the cold helps to bring it to mind, knots to sharpen, to resolve…
When things are easy and comfortable the incentive to change isn’t sharp… When
things are difficult and uncomfortable the resolve sharpens…’
Liz continued…
‘I’ve got an image of
great legs like the long man, great giant, it’s like a doorway, it’s like the
long man, these figures carved out in the hillside, the guardian, the human
gateway…’
The music ended and I noticed some small lights around Liz
just after I leant down to turn off the CD player.
Liz then did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our
closing down exercise.
