Swansea Bay Spiritual Walking Company
Walking with a back to nature approach
I practice a meditation once a week when I sit in Spiritualist Circle. In doing this we open up our chakras (body energy points) and then with eyes closed we are led through a guided meditation either read by the Circle leader or from a CD. Gentle music accompanies this and the object of the excercise is to clear your mind of everyday detritus and thoughts and to allow the mind to drift to higher vibrations. During meditation we should be able to connect with our higher consciousness and make contact with the Spirit and Angelic realms. Whether you see or feel anything is down to the individual and you shouldn't worry if you don't experience anything but you should benefit from being relaxed and be able to escape the physical world for a while.
The walks provided by Swansea Bay Spiritual Walking Company will provide a chance to experience a meditation session in a nature setting. They will last approximately 20-30 minutes depending on time constraints of finishing the walk and will be led by myself as walk leader. The soundtrack will be nature itself whether the sound of the sea or the birds singing and I will read a short meditation before allowing you to drift off yourselves for a while. It is completely safe and I will always bring your mind back to the physical world afterwards where we can discuss our experiences during the remainder of the walk. The sessions will be slightly experimental in the fact that doing a sit down meditation in a nature setting isn't always possible. It may therefore be the case of doing a wakeful meditation whilst standing or leaning against a fence or rocks. The experience is down to each individual taking part and if you wish to bring a blanket to sit upon the ground then please feel free to do so.
Meditation:
The definition of meditation according to the online version of the Oxford English Dictionary is as follows:
"The action or practice of profound spiritual or religious reflection or contemplation; spec. a variety of private devotional exercise consisting of the continuous application of the mind to the contemplation of a particular religious text, truth, mystery, or object."
Angel/Oracle cards:
Angel or Oracle cards are similar tools used to give a person a reading by a medium or a person with psychic abilities. In Spiritualist Circle I regularly give readings to other sitters and develop my psychic and mediumistic skills this way. They are different from Tarot cards in that they do not purport to tell the future but allow the individual receiving the message to find out where they are at the present moment and sometimes to give advice to move forward with their lives. We all have free will and it is possible to change your future by making decisions which is where the readings from the Angel/Oracle cards come in to allow the individual to make clearer decisions on where they want to go with their lives. At the end of each walk you will be given the option to have a card reading but this will be charged as an extra service, usually around £5 per person.
