11.11.11 in Luxor Temple





Our day in Luxor Temple began around 9am in the morning. West Bank rendevouz for just 4 of us, the rest to meet us outside the Temple entrance.
We had already been told that it would not be possible to join with the Diana Cooper School for their meditation, so I had been busy preparing a couple of hours of meditations and everyone was planning on bringing something with them to share with the others.



2 of the West Bankers had overslept, so it was just 2 of us who caught the ferry across the River Nile. The other 2 were following as quickly as possible.  I had 2 guests here on spiritual tours and they were joining us as well.
We finally made it to the temple, my 2 guests were already inside having a look around, 2 had overslept and 1 was in the bathroom in McDonalds! 2 more had already called to say they were running late lol.
So, it was something of a " ok........ so this will go where it will go" moment. Obviously, the best laid plans were about to go awry!

Off we went, tickets purchased, found my guests and we made our way to the very back of the temple. Many of the guardians know me and were all asking if we wanted to pray..........a combination of my own good self, and the fact that the temple's Sun Court was very busy with the Diana Cooper group. There was also a large group from South Africa there too.... (saw them again on Sunday, when my guests were visiting the Sekhmet Chapel........ we had to wait until they had finished!).

By the time everyone had arrived it was after 10.30am...... so it all turned very relaxed although we did manage to do a little bit of meditation and a couple of readings.  Then it was 11am! We all got comfortable..... and I prepared to guide the meditation.
I do have to admit that I would have loved to have been listening to a guided meditation instead of guiding everyone else, but hey..... the end result is the same.
So we began..... and the temple was almost silent. A few tourists wandered in on us, but left fairly quickly.
There were 8 of us in total....... but just as we reached 11.11am....... 3 ladies eased their way in, sat down and joined with us. And now we were 11!  For myself, even though I was guiding the meditation, I still felt a wonderful sense of peace, and an angelic shower washed over me.

After the meditation we stood in a circle...... joined hands ready to chant an OHM...... when 2 egyptian ladies with 3 children came by.  The children joined us..... laughing and smiling, one of the guardians also joined us.... and we began our circle. We must have done our chant very loudly, as we heard nothing from anywhere else..... maybe we drowned them all out!

Although the day did not turn out as I had planned, in many ways, we were there! We were open and waiting at the moment the energy flowed down..... and we received it.

We ended the day in unity with a small group consisting of English, American, German and Egyptians and 3 lovely children who will be the future of my adopted home. I hope the love they received on Friday, will bring them bright futures and many blessings.

Love, light and blessings to you all.

And many thanks to Helen Bailey...... Egypt Unveiled Photography for her wonderful photographs!

Atarrs and healing

Yesterday was an interesting day. I am a Reiki Master and as such very interested in all types of healing gifts.
I have a friend who runs a perfumerie/spices/herbal remedies shop. He is a very spiritual man and he has an amazing gift of healing.
Yesterday I took a friend to see him as I felt she could benefit from his gift. I will not go into details because of confidentiality, but she has been suffering non-physical illness for many years. Adel did his stuff and immediately saw that the problem stemmed from traumatic experiences during childhood. She was amazed at his insight.
So today, the atarr in him (Atarr being the name for an traditional egyptian herbalist) provided leaves from the nabac and eucalyptus trees, black cumin seeds and 7 dates. The leaves to be steeped in water overnight in the open air, and the resulting infusion needs to be used to wash the whole body of negativity.. The dates are steeping in a mix of water with a little of the black cumin seeds. These dates will then be eaten tomorrow and the juice will be drunk.
For information, the nabac tree is also known here as the Thorn of Christ and is a type of cedar. Apparently a very spiritual tree and connected with the Thorn Tree of Glastonbury and its associations with Joseph of Arimathea.
So my friend arrives here tomorrow to wash, eat and drink. And hopefully she will start to be able to deal with her illness.

If nothing else it will be an amusing day!
