‘The Return of the Light’ with Annie Blampied and Gabriella

 

There are windows in the fabric of creation,
Ripples move through what we call ‘reality’
Like wind moves through the lake’s soft undulation,
Multi-facets break the surface that we see.

You speak to us through every wave and layer
Each ripple brings a new face to the light.
Dimensions come and go with every player
In the fabric of creation made of light.

So open your pores and feel the ripples
As they move through the fabric of your time.
Whatever you think stable might be fickle
And new worlds open from between the lines.

See the elfin-stone by the water’s edge; he is calling through the night;
He has hair of moss and heather, hidden halfway from the light.
“Can I come with you, can I play with you, I will teach you of my songs.”

See the elfin-stone by the water’s edge as He greets you from the earth,
See his eyes of wisdom burning, lines of crystal on his face.
“Can I come with you, can I dance with you, I will teach you of my lands.”

See the elfin-stone by the water’s edge in the twilight where we meet;
Feel the power of the ages, of the glaciers and the peat.
“Can I come with you, can I work with you, I will teach you of your call,
Can I come with you, can I work with you, I will teach you of your core.”

When butterflies are playing in the arms of gentle winds
Can you see the fairies faces reflected on their wings.

Chorus:

Everyone has a story to tell, has a secret to reveal.
Everyone has a doorway to show, come and help release the seal.

In the magic of each moment, in the space between the words
Is a place of joy and wonder, come and join us in this world.

Chorus:

Everyone has a story to tell, has a secret to reveal.
Everyone has a doorway to show, come and help release the seal.

As the fairies play and wander with the spirits of each plant
Weaving paths of many colours, rainbow bridges to every land.

Chorus:

Everyone has a story to tell, has a secret to reveal.
Everyone has a doorway to show, come and help release the seal.

When time was plentiful
And life full of time
We danced together by the stream.
The earth as our mother,
The sky as our father
We held each other in the Dream.

Now your time is scarce
And your life full of rush
We no longer meet you dancing by the stream.
You drive cars where we walked,
Look at boxes where we talked
And shared the weaving of the Dream.

We pray, one day you’ll remember:
That time is plentiful
And life full of time
And we’ll meet again by the stream.
The earth is our mother,
The sky is our father
And together we weave the Dream.

When the shadows fall and the twilight spreads,
We are speaking through the veil,
Will you come with us through the portal of time
To the land of evermore?

As the faces speak through the rocks and stones,
Through the waters and the trees.
Can you hear the songs through the crack of time
From the land of evermore?

At the waters’ edge, where the ethers meet
Stands a solitary standing stone.
Will we follow its call to the end of time
To the land of evermore?

(From the CD “Voices of Nature“)

Once there was a heart of love
Once there was a world of peace.

We are singing the world into being,
We are dancing the whole night through,
Dance in the sunlight, dance in the moonlight,
Dance, dance, dance, we are one!

We are drawing the light into shadows,
Weaving the web of life
Dance in the sunlight, dance in the moonlight,
Dance, dance, dance, we are one!

We are playing the game of becoming
Moving the cogs of time,
Dance in the sunlight, dance in the moonlight,
Dance, dance, dance, we are one!

There are songs that live in the fire,
In the water, the wind, the stone,
Sing in the starlight, sing in the moonlight,
Sing, sing, sing, we are one!

Once there is a heart of love
Once there is a world of peace.

Inspirational Music for Meditation, Healing & Journeying  with cello, voice, gongs, singing-bowls, flutes & others. 55 min.   Sacred Passage is a powerful healing Sound Journey, which leads the listener into the inner world of Nature to remember ever deeper our innate cellular Knowing of our origin, connectedness and soul-purpose. It was co-created with the Intention to weave a vibrational field in which we can heal and release deep ancestral & past patternings and burdens so we can be free to remember and live our Dream of the Earth and the Family of Earth. The Call Remember the Promise Chamber of Healing Releasing The Elements Transformation The Path clears Dawn Honouring The Approach Preparation The Passage Scrying The Message The Annointing Empowerment Invitation Joining The Thrum Grace Closing the Circle to listen to samples: tr-08-dawn.mp3 tr-19-the-thrum.mp3 See also tr-2 ‘remember the promise’ under sound samples on the ’sounds page:http://peace-trails.com/sounds

As I was creating ‘Sacred Passage’ I held the intention and vibration for very powerful healing to occur. It was a very joyful and deep 3 day-experience.. as the world changed from deep winter – snow on the first day - to spring with bright warm sunshine on the last day.

As all the different instruments needed different setups of microphones and equipment e.t.c. the recording wasn’t done in the order of the CD and it was the process afterwards – intuiting feeling the right flow, order and naming. My friend Terry Frank helped me tune in to the frequence and order and as it was complete, she had a very powerful experience of being taken into a very deep inner space and through a passage of initiation to a different level.

I myself used it for months in the car when I was transitioning from one place to another, shifting my vibration and frequency, getting myself ready for wherever I was going.

Until I had a very different powerful experience, which confirmed the original purpose and intent of this recording:

 On December 12/ 12/ 2008 at the last glorious fullmoon of the year I found myself being layed down by a raging fever burning me up hot and cold and knocking me out of ‘ordinary functioning’.

As I decided to give into it and take myself to bed, I had an intuitive hunch that I should put on my new CD ‘ Sacred Passage’ to help me move through some big stuff, as that was what it was created for (I remembered later).

As I let myself sink down into my inner experience, accompanied and facilitated through the sound I found myself following the music:

 ‘remembering the promise’ into the beautiful garden of what felt like paradise, where my heart expanded and sang in harmony with life and Earth.

In this state I found myself entering into a deep inner space, a place, where I was given the choice of alignment, to either align with creation/love (life enhancing, life maintaining and life sustaining)  or destruction/fear ( life annihilation).

I had only recently finished reading the book ‘Robes’ – a book about the coming changes – by Penny Kelly,  in which we are told that at a certain point of evolution we all need to make that choice of alignment, either consciously or by default and that as a collective we need to also make that choice and alignment and then act on it.

That choice of alignment will determine our future evolution.

So having read this very recently and having  had a very deep resonant response from the inside when I read it, I wasn’t surprised that only days later I was in the situation to choose. (Chamber of healing)

I felt my whole being choose the alignment with creation and life and as I was doing so clear and pure, I heard the fire building around me.  I heard what seemed on the outside but I realised was on the inside all the parts of me who were not in this alignment beginning to fight and I felt engulfed by a raging battle which was transmuted by the building fire (the gong – Releasing the grip of the old) and other elements…(Joining of the elements).

As the sounds changed to transformation I found the inner voice of the soul alignment finally rising out of the turmoil, rising with so much clarity and strength, getting stronger and stronger, so much so, that in its simplicity all fighting stopped and there was a feeling of excitement as everyone wanted to be a part of this new strength and beauty and a powerful re-orientation was beginning to happen, empowering the new alignment. ( gong: Breaking through)As silence occurred and the new sound of the flute started to call, I felt myself called out to look around at the new place I found myself in.As I was beginning to re-orientate myself to walk in a new direction in a different way than before, I found myself moved to give thanks to all those who have gone before, honouring their suffering, their learning and everything that had brought me to this place now, releasing the attachment to that suffering and way of being. (the Ancestors)Then the flute called me to follow the new alignment: (the Approach)I was received by others who were already familiar with this level or frequency and led to look deeply inside to where I needed to go. (preparation)Once I was ready, I was accompanied and asked to speak and sing my vision/ dream., as the others responded in co-creation, leading me deeper into the temple as we co-created in and affirmed the new alignment until I was ready to come face to face with the guardian of the threshold, being asked the next deeper question… and my soul responding without hesitation in jubilation and in response I was being welcomed on the other side. (The Passage). But the passage wasn’t comlete yet. Being in this new and very unknown place I had to prepare first to go into the deepest part of my own beingness, so that my creations of life would be aligned with the deepest core of my beingness (Scrying).As I entered with joy, I was reminded of the spiritual laws of this level of vibration and consciousness. With joy my soul responded singing and was led ever deeper…(The message)As my soul entered into its core alignment frequency, everything slowed down into a deep stillness and then once again I was welcomed, this time as a co-creator . (Anointing) and then empowered in it: (Empowerment)As I stabilised in that frequency it led me out again, and I began to notice my environment (the companions) and how the outer frequencies were adjusting to mine and beginning to draw and call to me energies that matched this co-creation frequency.As the co-creator companions arrived (joining), we began to sound and create in harmony with heart of the Earth in a joint rhythm called ‘the thrum’ and then joining as one in harmony. For a long time I stayed in that space feeling very deeply moved and changed and open to a new level of vibration. Every time I hear Sacred Passage, I can come back into alignment.A big Thank you to all who co-created!!!

Feedback from listeners:

‘I wanted to share my experience Gabiella as feedback for you. In listening and moving I sound experienced an awakening in myself and a sense of the struggle of past and present woundings to people around the world, feeling the deep conflict and divisions this has created, and then the presence of a huge waterful of light being that poured water and silver energy that ran in trickles and rivers across the lands and I felt began seeping into my toes and rising in my body. An amazing journey, a powerful sense of connection and healing, a lot of learning’.

thankyou Gabriella with love Lynne
