America's Stonehenge

 

This past weekend, I had the privilege to visit America’s Stonehenge in southern New Hampshire, about 45 minutes north of Boston.  I was attending a dowsing workshop on site taught by Maria Wheatley, a master dowser from England.  I actually briefly met her at Avebury almost a year ago.  Our group of students was there to learn how to dowse ley lines, geospirals, and the energy of megalithic standing stones, among other earth energies.  Maria uses a single copper dowsing rod.  I have used a pendulum with success for almost 30 years, but not a rod.  I was looking forward to learning a new technique!

America’s Stonehenge does not resemble Stonehenge in the UK much at all.  It consists of a central area with structures, walls, chambers and a propped up alter stone.  In the surrounding area can be found serpentine walls, some with windows in them, and a series of monoliths marking the important solstice and equinox sunrises and sunsets.  There are also lunar alignments marked as well.  The whole property is about 110 acres, but the public only has access to about 20 acres in the center of the property.

It is amazing that there is anything there to see at all, as this ancient and sacred area had been used and abused up until the Stone family took possession in 1958. Many years before that, the locals used the site as an easy way to quarry the granite stones, thus carrying off much of what made up the structures.  There was also extensive vandalism before the site was adequately secured.  So what you see here now has been reconstructed to its original form, although there is no way of knowing what has been permanently removed. The granite contains quartz, which makes it highly energized. 

What intrigued me the most were the astronomical alignments at the site, which one could relate to the field of archeoastronomy.  Fortunately most of the very large monoliths marking the important solar alignments were intact in their original positions, with a few lying on the ground.  Who created this and why, no one knows.  Radio carbon dating puts the ruin’s age as early as 2000 BC, with the alignments fixed at about 1500 BC.  This is not a style of construction that any Native Americans would have used, so who was there to create this fascinating site perhaps 4000 years ago if not further back?  This is an issue at most megalithic sites around the world, as there were no written records, and one cannot carbon date stone.

Through research in recent years, it was found that there are at least 18 solar and lunar alignments and 24 stellar alignments on the property.  A fallen 14 foot monolith  was also discovered.  4000 years ago, the site consisted of bare granite with very little top soil.  The builders had an easy time determining where all of the alignments were, as there was a clear view out to the horizon in every direction.  

Even though I found the dowsing training interesting, I also used my pendulum in conjunction with that.  On Sunday afternoon after everyone left at the end of the training, I went back out to do some wandering around on my own.  I was particularly interested in the huge standing stones marking the solar alignments.  Pendulum testing indicated that each one of them was highly energized with a vortex of positive energy spiraling up from the ground where they were anchored and out the top of the stone.  Each one had some sort of point at the top, thus focusing the energy.  Also, through the procession of the equinoxes, each point is now a bit off of alignment to the solar event from when they were originally placed.   

Even though there was a lot of higher vibrational energy to be found there, the whole site was not highly energized, not like what you find at Stonehenge in the UK.  Here, it was a patchwork of heavy and light energy.  So, I concentrated my wandering at the end with the megaliths where I knew the beneficial energy was. 

Below are photos of America’s Stonehenge.  If you would like more information on this fascinating place you can go to their website here.

Here are some of the chambers.

If you look into this chamber, you can see the lighter stone, which is quartzite.  It lights up when the equinox sun rises and shines into the chamber.

There were very few straight walls.  Most were wavy, and called serpent walls.  Maria said that they followed the undulating earth currents there.Note the head of the serpent in the first 2 photos.

Here is the Altar Stone.  It is not known what kind of ceremony could have been done there.

My favorites were the highly energized monoliths that marked the solar alignments.  They also marked the leylines on the site, which were perfectly straight.

You will notice that all of the trees have been cleared past the stones so that the sunrises and sunsets can be seen at the horizon.

The ley line that connected the Winter Solstice sunset stone and the Summer Solstice sunrise stone goes all the way to Stonehenge in the UK via a straight line.  Amazing!

I spent that last afternoon getting energized by the monoliths.  To put the frosting on my cake, I discovered a pink lady slipper orchid there. 

So I had a very quick and intense weekend, which included flying into Boston and negotiating the traffic there.  Totally worth it.  If any of you live on the east coast, I highly recommend a visit to America's Stonehenge.  

Holding Space

 

What is the definition of “holding space”?  For me, it is the creating and maintaining of a high vibrational energy field around oneself for the benefit of oneself, or another person, location or activity. 

First of all, ones energy field must be fairly clean and clear which naturally leads to a higher vibrational state.  This involves doing your work, addressing and clearing issues, and having some kind of meditation practice as a bare minimum place to start.  So the change starts with you internally and then radiates outwards.

This will ultimately organically lead to an energy field that increases in size and vibration.  I do not know the current state of Ken Lloyd’s energy field, but when I first started working with him, he said that it went out about 600 feet or more.  I am certain that that distance has increased exponentially by now! 

The people that you encounter in your day to day life will sense, on some level, your energy, even if they do not know exactly what is happening.  They will feel it on an unconscious level.  As most of you know, I do travel a fair amount.  I always meet new people on these trips.  I have gotten used to comments from others wondering about my hair color or skin color, ethnic background, or what I am wearing, clothing or jewelry, or the type of hiking shoes that I have on.  I have gotten used to these comments, and realize that they are feeling my energy, but only think to ask about the obvious stuff.  BTW—I have white hair and tan skin, which leads to a lot of those remarks. 

I like to think that I am having a positive effect on the people that I meet.  I am not at the level yet where they will experience spontaneous healing, but hope to evolve to that state eventually. 

While I was taking my morning walk today, I was musing on the holding space dynamic.  Just imagine if you could keep your energy field elevated and expanded 24/7.  If you are constantly evolving in this way, imagine holding space for your neighbors, community, town, state, country or even the planet.  I do not mean this to be a conscious activity on your part.  It should be natural and organic, and would happen without your having to effort or even think about it.  It would be who you are, not what you are doing.  There would also be no intent or investment in a specific outcome.  It would just happen.

What if someone a few houses down from you were evolving in the same way?  Your energy fields would eventually touch and perhaps merge, expanding even more.  As I was walking, I was picturing many people on the planet evolving in this way, eventually merging their energy fields to be as big as our Mother Earth.  All indications are that the earth and humanity are on an ascension path.  Life is changing rapidly. That explains all of the chaos that is happening in the world right now.  The current change is not gradual, and there needs to be a certain amount of breaking down before the new can manifest.  You must keep up or fall into the ensuing chaos.  No one wants that! 

I want to share a tid bit with you.  As I fly on planes several times a year, I have never had a disruption from a fussy child or crying baby.  Not that that is not happening on my flights!  I simply extend my energy field around the child and they settle down right away.  It does not matter where they are on the plane.  I do not even need to see them.  Try it for yourself! 

So to recap, holding space is an organic result of who you are.  Your evolving energetic state is part of your spiritual evolution and benefits not only you, but everything around you.  It also enables you to keep pace with the ascension of Mother Earth.  I suspect that the wild ride will continue into the future, so keep doing your spiritual work.  The world and humanity needs each one of you who knows how to do this. 

I am always happy to work with anyone who is having difficulties in this regard.  Go to www.quantumstargate.com. 

Wildflowers of Malta

 

Another plus for going to Malta in April is that with the cooler spring weather, the fields were green and the wildflowers were blooming.  We were told that in a month or a bit more, everything there would be brown and dried up because of the hot and dry Mediterranean summer weather.  

Imagine my surprise to find the orchid in the above photo blooming in several places.  This is the pyramidal orchid.  Even more shocking was the fact that Malta is host to 39 different types of wild orchids.   Here are photos of the lovely wildflowers of Malta.

So there you have it.  A lovely trip with a very nice group of people with a little bit of everything that Malta has to offer.      

BTW--They also grow the best strawberries I have ever tasted!

Boats of Malta

Travel between and around Malta and Gozo, being fairly small islands, has always been done by boat.  In modern times, depending on your needs and where you are going, you can use anything from a cruise ship, to a million dollar plus yacht, to ferries of many capacities, to sailboats, fishing boats, skiffs, or dinghies.  Malta is a major cruise destination mainly for Europeans and travelers from the UK.  I chose to go there in April before the cruise season really kicked in, and in spite of that, the main town of Valletta was fairly crowded.  Several cruise ships were docked in the main harbor every day. 

There were lots of Italian tourists, and if one takes the ferry from Sicily to Malta, the distance is only 60 miles and takes a little less than 2 hours.  This is what we saw in the harbor of the capital city of Valletta.

Marsaxlokk is a quaint fishing town renowned for its picturesque luzzijiet fishing boats.  Lots of photo ops there!

We took a different kind of boat on our trip to the Blue Grotto. (More water photos!)

Note the very dark sapphire blue of the water.  It was a stark contrast to the turquoise blue closer to shore.

One more post to go.  Wildflowers, one of my favorite photographic subjects.
