Angels Abroad

Yammas!

Cretan greetings as I arrive back from another wonderful angel retreat in West Crete.

This year the venue was in a mountain village and so our early Essene morning meditation with the angels was not only accompanied by the warm morning sunshine but the tinkling neck-bells and baa-ing of the nearby goats!

As we sat under the olive trees in the garden, by the pool, we were often accompanied by the cicades in the hedges and the swooping swallows as they dived for a drink. Very Mediterranean , and completely different sights and sounds to those most of us are used to (especially me, now living in rural Essex!). The whole group came from Ireland this year, bringing their Celtic spirituality, wisdom and Love of the angels and an enormous sense of humour and fun! We had enlightenment, discovery and joy ~ in abundance.



I am so honoured to have been accompanying and teaching this workshop in Crete now for almost 10 years, some times twice in a year, and every time there are unique and special moments that I treasure. Not just the mornings of self- discovery and development that take place but also the warmth and hospitality of the local Cretans, their culture, their gorgeous beaches and their delicious home grown produce. (I have been making Greek salad since my return on Tuesday but somehow it just doesn't taste the same!)



The similarity to life in the hills and mountains of the middle east where Jesus and the Essenes would have lived and worked with the angels, the land and the goats, couldn't escape my notice.

West Crete for me has a special healing quality, a sense of peace that touches the soul. I'm aware that for many years I have been working with the energies of Archangel Raphael and some believe that Crete is the spiritual home (Ashram) of the ascended master Hilarion, who once lived the life of Paul. Certainly the high White mountains have an almost tangible air of divinity - to me. This would then be an island of discovery, of truth and healing... those who come on the retreat feel that for themselves.



And now, next week I'm off to take part in another retreat; the Essene summer gathering, which will be in leafy Buckinghamshire ~ very different from its origins in the Middle East, and completely different from Crete too. Rather than teaching, although I am one of the organisers, I shall be simply one of the "family" and am really looking forward to some time of self-reflection and meditation after several months of incredible levels excitement, travel, teaching, writing and general busy-ness!

Angel blessings to everyone,

With Love, Chrissie



However you are enjoying your Summer - which seems to be longed for during the long winter months and then goes so fast - I do hope you'll get the opportunity to spend some time smelling the flowers, absorbing the moonlight, listening to the birds and communicating with the angels.
