Magical Isle of Wight...Wonder filled Music...

Something magical happened over the weekend..  I travelled over to the Isle of Wight with two very wonderful musicians/singer/songwriters... My first time in the Isle of of Wight and I am not sure whether it was the magic of the Isle, the music or the combination that I found so healing...

On the second gig, I sat and listened to a soundcheck and then the main performance...it seemed that I was being touched by every note, every sound, every vocal, every key on the piano..deeply.  The resonance I felt in my body was sometimes overwhelming...tears of sheer bliss would overcome me.

Deborah's voice had a quality to it that was so deep and it seemed to vibrate every cell in my body. Martin on piano was totally immersed..I could feel his devotion to his gift.  The combination of them both and the history/energy of the buildings they performed in seemed to gel together so perfectly.    I have had a few sound healing sessions and this was a similar experience...it was emotional..there was a sense that I was listening to and experiencing magic..a piece of history in the making.  I felt privileged to be present in the room, to be a part of it, to witness it.  I was conscious of not holding on to each moment but truly relishing every delicious moment..

I was not the only one to feel this...a couple of people from the audience were in awe of what they had experienced also.  Sublime.  I went to bed after their final performance feeling intoxicated with joy, gratitude and appreciation.

The following morning I woke up in love...I actually said out loud.. "I am in love".. and then stopped and thought..but who with?  what with?...  Life of course...it shouted within me..a joy for life..in love with life!    It really felt like I had been making love physically all night..  I had gone to bed with joy, gratitude and appreciation and woke up with the same vibration..my body vibrating with bliss.

I love music, love sound..love any sound that resonates with my body, my cells, my spirit.  When it happens, I soar..every cell vibrates with bliss and my heart sings in joy. 

Namaste to all musicians, singers, songwriters, composers....who are following their lifes’ purpose and sharing their gift with the world...  I love to support you in any way I can..

ps.  I have typed this blog entry whilst having to be bed-rested because of a sprained ankle!   It certainly feels like I am being asked to be still, to integrate at the moment..

Gigs, sleepiness, body going through it..energies abound...

Been to a couple of gigs this week, the wonderful Nick Harper, who after coming on late was really good but unfortunately, I was sooo tired, I managed to drop off whilst standing up!  Had to leave half way through his set.     I also went to see Elbow at the O2 Arena on Monday - havent really heard them play before but they were fantastic and I really enjoyed it - managed to stay awake!  Makes me want to go more live gigs...  Seth Lakeman awaits in May (Swoon!)..anyone got a spare TT ticket?   

Healthwise, my body seems to have been transforming something over the last few days.. been very tired, lethargic, sleeping a lot and generally feeling not myself.  Last night in bed, every part of my skin seemed to be a mass of tingly, spines which were so sensitive to touch, I was hot but cold, I was tearful but giggly.. 

My womb couldnt seem to make up its mind whether it was to bleed or not..leaving me in some sort of limbo, not knowing what was happening, wanting it to decide one way or another..today it did decide to let go and bleed...allowing me to release the pent up energy thats been building in there the last week. Now I can feel I am returning to 'me'.

Breathing has been awful, chest is worsening and nothing seems to be making any improvements to it..  not giving up and exploring other options to try out. 

All in all though, a wonderful week of deep loving, sleeping, great food, great music, steady workflow..and more sleeping..  Bliss!   x

Festivals, Friends, Fun....

Its been a few days since I last wrote as I've been away visiting friends and attending the Rivenstone Festival..

The Festival was beautiful with some amazing musicians/bands, good food, and beautiful people...  the weekend was a mixture of emotions; with joy and tears - both of sadness, and joy mixed with gratitude at the sheer beauty of the energies, poetry and music being played.

Dartmoor is a special, sacred place..and I am drawn to move down there.  I walked the land and felt so at 'home' amonst the moss, trees..misty landscape.

As I write this the hughest spider has appeared!  I tell you its as big as my hand!  I have grown more accepting of spiders in my space, gently catching them in something and letting them go outside..but they still give me a bit of a scare.   have to go and sort this one out...

Man v Nature..

well I havent turned into a frog on this new supplement..nothing to report really, except I have a slight temperature!

Anyway, woke in the night to the sight of the beautiful big moon at last..its been hidden behind clouds since it became full.. I watched her as the clouds passed her shine..magical and communed deeply with her. I moon-bathed the rest of the night, taking in her pureness.

Woken up early by the song of a bird that insists on perching on my window sill daily.. his/her song is just one note..constantly calling! (n fact, its still calling) Managed to fall back asleep and then woken by someone strimming around the land..it has to be done from the point of view its a place for visitors but it shatters the peace and my sleep!

So, I get up, feed Milo and bake some bread. How domesticated hey. As I type, waiting for the bread to rise, I am feeling a little unsettled, feeling I should get out and socialise today, but anticipating something that I am not sure about..mmmmm. Great! my itunes player just decided to go automatically from the sacred music of Peru/Praful to The Machine Breakers - the band that the ex played in.. the song called 'the land was stolen'... interesting! Sounds good still, missing hearing the music live, watching them but there is no pain... Now being skyped by someone making me laugh with their jokes...
