The awakening of the Earth Star – a new journey into the unknown. This was my 3rd trip to Egypt, and the completion of the axis.
Three trips with very different purposes.
1st trip was all about awakening the knowledge of the past, the 1st initiatic path, where my cells got re-acquainted with the long forgotten history. Each temple, reminding me what I already knew, and in a way aligning my axis North South – South North. Reminding me that each step is just at important as the next
2nd trip, a surprise for me and yet such a confirmation for others. This trip was all about reconnecting with the celestial knowledge, reconnecting with the knowing from the stars. The awakening of the Soul Star. This trip although not a full journey to all the temples of the Nile, it sought to remind me of a different inner knowing. An awakening of hidden gems within. A re-connection with the invisible, awakening of the filaments of light that connect us all to the universe.
3rd trip, a trip i knew I had to join full heartedly, although the outcomes of which to this day remain a mystery. It remains a mystery, as the information has not fully landed. This was the 2nd initiatic journey along the Nile, travelling from one temple to the other, with a final step of awakening the Earth Star. A connection with the land, and indeed landing back into the body, recognising the connections we hold with each other and with Gaia. A re-ignition of the full axis of the body, from the top most point to the lowest of points, from the ecstasy of unconditional love, to the raw betrayal of all senses and delving deep into the lost and forgotten recesses of the mind.
This third journey, led once more by Anna Oliveira sought to help us reconnect with our bodies, our wounds, our very essence, so that we can birth a new reality for each one of us. A group 33 strong joined together in body and soul for an unforgettable experience.
As with all of our journeys, we did some preparation work, and this time we used the pages of a book to inform the journey. We were inspired by “Heal Your Wounds & Find Your True Self” (Lise Bourbeau) , pushing us all to recognise what type of mask we carry as a result of our wounds. Interestingly there were a few wounds that showed up time and again amid the participants, and for me, it confirmed why we found each other’s company so supporting and calming. And whilst the same wound showed up, we all carried perhaps a 2nd or 3rd wound, and those other wounds helped trigger and perhaps heal each other.
Ana encouraged a number of group members to explore their family constellations using a mat she devised, and thus as a group we were able to reconcile our connections, emotions, and heal generational break-ups. There were tear of sorrow, as we said goodbye to a version of us that no longer served us, there were tears of joy recognising that we can let go of the past and celebrate a new potential. There were shivers and leglessness when energy coursed through us and psychology could not explain that weakness in the limbs. And with each step, with each temple, with each exploration and each sleep deprived moment, we got closer to our return home. Returning HOME to the body.
