Luxor

My plane was delayed 3 hours and after a long wait at Cairo airport I finally arrrived in Luxor at 4:30am.  I was tired, as I had really not slept properly for days.  I'd been travelling for 5 days really with having to drive 5 hours to take Taylor to Mum and Dads to stay while I was away and then the 5 hours back to Perth to fly to Cairo and sleeping for just a couple of hours in the desert before my Temple of the Sun meditation, all day at Fayoum and now finally I have arrived in Luxor, my home!  Ashraf had picked me up from the airport and I did get a couple of hours sleep before Kim, Linda and Narelle arrived, but I really was not functioning very well.  Abdul was renovating one of the apartments and had left the arrangements of the final sorting and preparations of the apartments until I arrived so I could supervise the workers.  Luckily Ashraf was fresh and on deck because I was really not that together.  The girls arrived and we were still sorting out the apartments, we had a blackout and the power was off - no airconditioning working and the heat was in the late 40's.  The went down like flies with heat exhaustion....oops time to send Sue a message not to bring Niamh, the heat would be way too much for a baby! 
Early morning meditations on my balcony were what kept me going I think, the peace and tranquility of Luxor early morning looking over the Luxor temple.  And what I had not noticed before but was staring me in the face this time was the balcony railings were in the design of the lotus!  Of course this was the theme of this trip!!!  Each time I come it is something different that takes my attention, and it appears to be the lotus this trip that caught my eye most of the time.
The girls prettying up... Kim, Linda, Narelle and Sue
The next few days were filled in getting the apartments ready and waiting for all the group to arrive.  We celebrated Ashraf's birthday at Abdul's villa with Samir's delicious cooking and a birthday cake for Ashraf.
What is a birthday without a LUXOR Light cake?

Ashraf was chuffed with his Australian boxers and Australian thongs from Kim and Linda
Birthdays are not normally celebrated in Ashraf's family and this is only his 2nd ever birthday celebration, only happening when we are in town.

Everyone's reasonably happy today and handling the heat at last (somewhat)
Narelle looks comfy propped in front of the fan!

Sue Smith and Kim Wrightson... something was funny

It would soon be time to board the dahabieh the "Nile Heaven II" and start our journey up the Nile. 
Nile Heaven II


We had a surprise visit from The Holy Man which we were not expecting.  He came on board especially to meditate with us.  I didn't have my camera handy and really did not want to rush off to get it for this occasion as I was far more interested in being in his company than taking photos of him.  We meditated with him and then each of the group got to ask him a question and Ashraf and Abdul interpreted for each.  This was certainly a blessing for all of us and one I do hope the group do not forget.

Luckily Linda had her camera handy

It was a late arrival for our American friends on the evening of the 28th September but some of us waited up on deck to meet our new friends before we set sail early morning for Esna


Finally we set sail

Fayoum Miracle


The next part of the journey was a day trip to Fayoum Oasis.  Fayoum is not a true Oasis is situated south of Cairo and the name Fayoum comes from the Coptic word Phiom or Payomj which means lake or sea.  It was actually a sea in ancient times.  Today it is well known for finds of ancient whales. 
Aparently pre-history more people lived at the Fayoum than in the Nile Valley because there was an abundance of water and it was a very lush and fertile area.  Around 4000 BC, the climate of the Fayoum began to dry up and people began to move closer to the Nile and the Nile Valley became a more popular place to reside.  The Fayoum became more of a hunting and fishing paradise and they also mined salts, limestone and chert.

I had been told that the Fayoum was the boarder between Upper and Lower Egypt, and for this reason I wanted to visit to make the Alchemy Waters of the combined Papyrus and Lotus, representing Unity Consciousness.  Papyrus is the emblem for Lower Egypt, while the Lotus is the emblem for Upper Egypt.  

I was absolutely amazed as we drove south of Cairo and all of a sudden there was this amazing sea in the middle of the desert!



I couldn't believe my eyes, but it was true enough.  The energy of the place was amazing, it really had the feel of a seaside town. 
The story goes that Diodorus tells us, that King Menes, the uniter of Upper and Lower Egypt, went on a hunting trip and almost lost his life when his own dogs attacked him near the lake. However, this legend records that his life was saved by a crocodile which carried him across the water to safety. As a reward, he declared the lake a sanctuary for crocodiles and founded the city of Shedet, known to the Greeks as Crocodilopolis but today called Kiman Faris. His city became the cult center of the crocodile god Sobek, Though the Fayoum was identified with Nun, the primeval ocean, the origin of all life in ancient mythology, Sobek remained the chief deity of the region throughout dynastic and Greek times and into the Roman era. All the known temples were dedicated, or at least co-dedicated, to one or another of his aspects. A sacred crocodile kept at the main temple at Crocodilopolis was seen and described by both Herodotus and Strabo.  But this was not the history that was interesting me, because at this time I really did not know any of this.  There is also a pyramid built by Herodotus, and an obleisk built by he successor,, Senusret, but again I didn't get to see these as my guides for the day didn't quite get that I wanted to make the most of my visit and also because we actually got bogged in the desert when we made our way to the waterfalls.  It wasn't really an issue for me to miss some things because I was unprepared for where I was going anyway and I was so amazed at what I did see that all else was irrelevant for this time.  

As we drove on passed the township and into the desert I didn't know where we were going, and assumed we were heading for the pyramid.  Then all of a sudden we started to head in the direction of this desert sea again.  The road we were following was only marked out by stones on either side to show this difference between the road and the desert.
There is also a camp where you can stay, but this was not to be for me this time.  I didn't really know what to expect, so to see the waterfall was once again an absolute joy.  Again I don't know what happened to my photos of the waterfall, so have found something on the net to show you.  When we arrived there were young Egyptians sitting fully clothed in the waters enjoying the coolness and the healing qualities that are said to be there. The waters are said to hold mineral salts that offer cure for psoriasis and other skin conditions.  I didn't swim but did wash my face in it and it certainly made a difference... 

I stood between two springs meeting in a fork and made the Alchemy Waters from Fayoum, to bring Unity Consciousness and to hold the essence of the Papyrus of Lower Egypt and the Lotus of Upper Egypt, not to mention the healing powers of the waters themselves.

I had asked Amr where the water came from, meaning where did it travel from.  He replied it came right from here, and Moses stuck in his staff and up sprang the waters.  I tried to research that but found other areas for that story, but who knows, maybe it is true......

I feel a tour to Fayoum coming on when the time is right..
Though certainly not large, but world standards, the waterfalls at Wadi el Rayan or some of the only ones in Egypt, and certainly the largest
The driver needed a rest and then we headed back to Fayoum township for lunch at a delicious fish restaurant....yumm check this out - just a small piece of fish.....  I don't think I have had such delights before, it was absolutely divine.  
After lunch the driver was tired and lay his weary head down on one of the spare tables, so I gave him a healing... that knocked him out and so Amr wanted to experience one.  I gave him one and he too needed to sleep.  As we were leaving the restaurant the owner asked me if I would come back and give him healing next time, so I offered to do it now for him.  He quickly agreed and pulled some tables out so he could lay on the table and receive LUXOR Light.  He was unable to get up when it was time to leave and very appreciatively nodded thankyou and closed his eyes and drifted off as we left for Cairo so I could catch the plane to Luxor.


I had left my bag behind at Amr's home so we needed to go back to collect that before heading to the airport.  It gave me a chance to have a shower and cup of tea which turned out to be a blessing because my flight was delayed 6 hours... typical Cairo!  Anyway a cup of tea with Amr and his mum and one last look at the pyramids from his roof which is literally in his back yard!




Goodbye Giza, I'm off to Luxor


This is the view of Giza Pyramid from Amr's rooftop

and there's always the kids....


Testimonials 10.10.10


The following testimonial was from a participant who did not attend the Egypt tour in person but by being present with us energetically.  I was well aware that Chantal was a part of the group, but unaware of what her experiences were back in the UK.  The following is an email I received from Chantal after the latest trip to Egypt.  (the above photo was taken at Abydos, the Temple of Osiris on 10.10.10)


Hi ChristinA,

I didn't get a chance to e-mail you with what was going on from my end while you were in Egypt. 

The first time I meditated the energies came through so strongly I felt as though I had been lifted off the bed, there was also alot of activating going on and there was language coming through, it was a amazing. The sounds of God are very powerful. The following days I meditated and each time it was really strong, but the last time I meditated I felt someone come into the room, the presence was so strong that it scared me at first and when I asked who it was the angels told me to relax, breathe and give in to the energy and I would be told the name. As soon as I gave in I could actually feel hands working on me and I knew then that it was you. Your presence was so strong in the room it was untrue!

I have felt amazing aswell, I feel really connected to everything. It feels as though there is going to be a settling in period where the adjustments settle down, but overall I feel great because I feel as though my mind has been woken up and even though I still feel as though I am in a different dimension to everybody else I am still able to think, which is just amazing. 


Thank you!!!!!!



Loads of Love,

Chantal.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Temple of the Sun

I arrived in Cairo on 22nd September and my only plan was to sleep in the desert and meditate at the temple of the sun.  I had all day to fill in and asked Amr to take me to Miriam's church, the one where she has been seen to appear on the roof on special occassions.



  
He got it all mixed up and took me to another place that actually turned out to be perfect.  Since my colour therapy studies some 15 years ago, I had always wanted to go to Old Heliopolis.  In previous trips to Cairo I had asked friends about Heliopolis and they would simply reply that this was it; Cairo was Heliopolis.  I accepted it but always felt a little ripped off and knew that one day if there was another, I would find it, or it would "come to me".  Well, leaving things up to chance is a sure way of finding your way to the right places.  We drove some 150 kilometers northeast of Cairo to a place called Al Matariyah also called  “Ein Shams” and have since found out that this was the place of old HELIOPOLIS; the town where the first Egyptian priests had lived some 2500 years before Christ was born!  Little did I know that it belongs to a more extensive district of El Cairo called AL-ZEITOUN a suburb of The Old City of Cairo.  I actually wanted to visit here as well, but you get what you get when your friends tell you whatever suits them for how they are feeling at the time.  Never mind all is perfect I realise I will be back to complete the Old City sites.


When I arrived in Cairo, I was supposed to be met at the airport by Amr and Ashraf, who was going to meet me there and do the Temple of the Sun with me.  However, when I arrived there was no Ashraf!  His mother had taken ill and while he had packed his bags etc, he said after taking his mother to the hospital he really doesn't know what happened but he simply felt he could not make the trip to Cairo.  I was stunned, but knew that all was perfect and all being Divinely orchestrated.  He had asked me to make some healing waters for his mother at the Temple of the Sun.


On arriving at Al Matrariyah, I was stunned at the beauty of the energy of this place.  This was a place that was visited by the Holy Family when Mary had been told by an angel to flee from the Holy land after the birth of the Divine Child and into the safety of Egypt.  Mary rested under the shade of the sycamore tree and still to this day it is believed that this tree holds sacred healing powers and this is the area that the Sacred Family lived while exiled in Egypt. 



Interestingly, I don't know what happened to the photos I took while visiting here, but the energy was very intense and it held a lot of emotion for me.  I was allowed to enter behind the roped off area and they placed some of the sap of the tree on my skin which began the healing process of a sun spot on my arm.


There was a small manger and when I placed my hand inside the manger I went into activation with strong emotion behind it.  I decided this was the place that I should make the healing waters as it was obviously a place of Sacred and Divine Energies.  Under the shade of the sycamore tree they placed a chair for me so I could meditate.  The healing codes poured forth as I worked to encode the waters for healing.


When we left and were driving back to Amr's home at the pyramids, Ashraf rang me to apologise for not being able to make it.  He said he had good news, and that Fatima, his mother, had taken a sleep in the afternoon and when she woke she told him she had seen me in a church or something, and that now she felt well.  I asked him what time this took place and it was the very same time that I was making the waters for healing and I had Fatima on my mind.  It was not a church but it is a holy place and of course with so many images of Mary and Jesus one could assume I was in a Church if they had a vision.


I was happy, feeling calm and centred and very warm at having visited such a beautiful and sacred place.


This was the first of many special occasions on this trip..........


Later that evening, we left to sleep in the desert and to meditate at the Temple of the Sun, at Abu Gurab.  I was tired I hadn't slept for two days and it had been a 35 hour journey to arrive in Cairo.  Normally Amr would have music and dancing in the desert while having dinner, but I wanted quiet, to enjoy the stars and listen to the sounds of the desert.  I fell asleep even with the hum and nibble of the mosquitoes.  


Visions came thick and fast; visions of Osiris and some other King that Amr said was the King Userkaf of the pyramid I could see in the distance at Abusir.


3am came and Amr woke me to walk up to the Temple of the Sun to meditate at the time he says is when God opens the doors to the Paradise and all is quiet and one can meet and commune with God.


I meditated until 6:30am as the sun came up.  The experience was amazing, it was like time stood still and 3 hours of meditation passed as if 5 minutes.  The activations were strong and my body was abuzz and alive.  The visions were strong and mostly of Osiris, Isis and Horus but wearing the crown of Osiris. The energy stayed with me all day and I felt totally revitalised. I used the opportunity to make some more Alchemy Waters to harness this most powerful energy.  


I'd had had 6 months of intense stress and this was the perfect revitaliser and I found that the rest of the month in Egypt, I was completely recovered from any fatigue and weakness. 


I wandered the grounds of the old temple and sat in the sacrificial alabaster basins where they used to sacrifice the cows as offerings to the gods.

It was time to head on to our next leg of the journey, to shower and take a day trip to Fayoum Oasis and then catch a flight to Luxor later that evening.

Thanks Amr!
Stay tuned for the next leg of the journey!

Absolute Clarity



22.10.2010=44

Home from Egypt and time to get the ball rolling again.  I will be holding the first meditation evening on Friday 22 in order to capture the double energies of the 22 and the 44.  This powerful combination will set the order of the day toward daring to step up and into the powerful Mastery combination of Greatness and Higher Mind.

Any karmic influences that have seen their time on the wheel of renewal can be drawn forth for clarity of purpose and Divine understanding.  A sense of completion through forgiveness, loving compassion and openness.  Opening the Higher Heart and perceiving the ultimate and Divine in  All.............

10.10.10 has set the world ablaze with the essence of Divine Truth and any hidden agendas being brought to the fore.  We must all step up on the ladder of consciousness and take our rightful place as our Divine and Authentic selves.  This is not always easy as the Mighty Truth stares us in the face.  What do we do with it, how do we deal with it, where do we go from here?

See you on Friday, to welcome the Sacred Sounds of Divine Truth.  This Evening is open to Everyone.
