Kilkenny - A calm experience

skellig Michael


If you like to find balance if only for a day, peace in only a moment, love just for a second.. Take a moment to experience it with the Island of Skellig Michael.
This island not only holds a crossing of positive ley lines, also the 1500 year old hand made stone huts created by the monks who lived there all that time ago.

When the boat is nearing the island already you can feel the difference, a subtle smile on your face of tranquility and peace a sense of happiness that seems to come from all around you. In every step you find your self gliding towards the hight of the island seeming to stop at different areas of the stone made stairs to enjoy a breath of fresh air or a warmth that is coming from within. With many a stair to climb, it is easy to think about not getting to the destination, but the body moves ahead without your mind needing to direct you. Could it be the energy of the monks praying on each step is still there? A small bend and a stone wall leads to a framed opening, an entrance to the 6 remaining huts of hundreds that previously existed. The heart begins to pump ever so slightly faster with the anticipation that has been building from the time it took to rise up here.
Finally, there, before you emotions between awe and temptation. The body still in its own pace, feelings of warm slowing movement around your legs guiding you to enter. A pause at the entry, memories of how sacred this site had been to those of devotion compell you to stop and request permission and respect to enter such an abode. Slowly a few moments later you enter, it is not cold. It is not lavish. It is honest. It is raw. It is some how a truth that had escaped you for so long. Grateful to be able to experience this ancient sense of wisdom and homage of old, it is time to give thanks and leave to experience the different energy held within each of the five remaining huts. Reaching the top of the mountain that is accessible, a freedom is captured in your heart. A feeling, that at this moment you can touch and reach all that you love, sending love to the far reaches of this earth for all to enjoy with you in that moment.
Some time later, every moment has been savoured, remembered and captured. Slowly you make your way down to the boat - in your own little way saying goodbye in every step, thanks with every soft touch on the hard baring stone for the experience.
During the journey to land, there is no sadness, a simple contentness and a continued feeling of trust and peace.

Situated off the coast of south - west Ireland. A 45 minute boat ride from ports at the base of the Ring of Kerry. Many boats travel every day - weather permitting.

Enjoy

Spiritual Blarney

May 22nd 2008 08:58
Blarney is amazing, the castle is phenominal, truley a place that you need to visit and experience as it is like no other. Green lush grass amongst the contrast of flowers, textures of trees and shrubs. The earth made structure of the stones engages this to be one of the most favourable places in Ireland.
The energy of the the castle and the gronds enlightens ones soul, caught in a period of mystical wonder, enchanted by the feel, your completly in another world. Kissing the Blarney stone was amazing it does give you the gift of the gab - honestly. You will find yourself not wanting to leave.
The locals are fantastic and would recommend the whole world to experience this area of Ireland.
My heart is still within the Rock Close - a long established garden created and has been maintained all these years. Find yourself walking up the down the wishing stairs - as it is said if you walk up and down the stairs with your eyes closed thinking the whole time only of your wish it will come true in a year. Walking under the Dolmen you can feel an amazing surge of energy - also known to hold high vibrations. The area is rich in druid history - hence the amazing energy of the location.
This visit to Blarney Castle and the enchanting walk around the Rock Close is worth the 30 minute bus ride from Cork ( ten minutes by car), a small entry fee to the grounds. With all honesty this experience will be worth alot more by the time that you pull your self away. Believe me once you are there you will not want to leave.

Arriving in Dublin, day one. You expect to be tired, jet lagged and the like, but wait. Nothing and i mean nothing stops your exhausted mind and body from getting out of that hostel/hotel and walking around a beautiful city that inspires everyone from the moment you lay your eyes on it.

It takes all but a few hours before your in your first pub - the beggining of the addiction. You may not meet an local irish person for a good few hours as there is alot of tourist from all over the globe, if your really desperate you can go into the nearest souvonier shop and get your dose of the irish accent
