Literally a rambling chat with Kurt as he walks 140 miles along the Pilgrims Way from Winchester to Canterbury. He was inspired to make this journey across Hampshire, Surrey and Kent by reading a chapter of Rupert Sheldrake's book Science and Spiritual Practices about Pilgrimage and Holy Places.

Recorded on day one of the two-week journey, our conversation covers various aspects of going on a pilgrimage in the UK today including the health benefits of long-distance walking, the energetics of the landscape and how suffering can lead to spiritual realisation.

Simon stayed over to record a follow-up episode on day 2, which will be published shortly.

He plans to return to walk the last section into Canterbury and gather Kurt's reflections on his epic walk.

Apologies for the wind noise during the first 5 minutes of the interview.

Here's a bonus episode detailing how to create affirmations using the Full Moon and your crystals using the work-flow from my workshop. I talk through energetic 'cleaning' of crystals using intention to prepare them. I then take you on a beautiful guided 10-minute meditation journey to the Moon and back to harness its power. Next, I explain how to use this new insight to write key words and phrases to incorporate into writing your affirmations. 

For a guide to how to write affirmations please see my blog: https://www.anamcaraenergyhealing.com/post/making-powerful-affirmations-using-full-moon-energy

The podcast goes to talk about how to energise your affirmations with crystals and then where to put them in your home so they stay in your consciousness and energy field to keep them working for you.

There's also a video explaining the process you can watch here: https://youtu.be/Vh_PS_yJL9E

Back with the trees for this episode, covering the first Celtic festival of the year and then a journey into the properties and significance of the Silver Birch. Simon takes a twilight walk into his local grove of Silver Birch trees and connects with the feminine energy of these beautiful, slender trees.

To support the workshop on affirmations I'm running on Thursday, 28th January, here's a bonus podcast explaining why making positive affirmations is important. Please listen if you want to re-programme your sub-conscious mind and especially if you are working on improving things like self-love, confidence or want to change your diet.

I talk through the thinking behind making affirmative true statements about yourself and some of the benefits. Explain my reasons for aligning your affirmations to the energy and cycle of the Moon and using crystals to amplify their power.

In this episode Simon goes on a ramble in Hodgemoor Woods near his home in south Buckinghamshire and explains what celebrating Winter Solstice means to him. He talks about finding some mature Pine trees and a circle of  Holly trees, then chats a bit about the significance of these trees and why they are connected to the Winter Solstice festival.

Simon's work as a Tree Energy Walking guide is influenced by English artist, teacher and author Glennie Kindred (www.glenniekindred.co.uk) and he recommends her books including Sacred Earth Celebrations and Walking With Trees.
