002 Tuning in to Thin Places with Annie Conboy - Tullyhogue, Co. Tyrone

SEGMENT 1 – MINDIE BURGOYNE In this podcast, we're going to talk about the energetic pull of the earth and how people have felt that pull over the ages. If there's one phrase I hear repeatedly from people who read my posts or come on our tours it's that they have "felt a pull or a draw" to a particular place. Ireland is frequently mentioned.

 

Joseph Dispenza in his wonderful little book, The Way of the Traveler states, « All travel is inner travel. » He goes on to say in the introduction…that the « call to travel » is as much a part of the journey as the actual travel itself. Dreaming of the travel... imagining what we'll see, how we'll feel, what we may learn, who we may meet … it's all a part of the entire travel experience and the change --- the inner change that happens to people when they travel.

 

For some of us, that call to travel or dreaming of travel feels almost like a romance… something out there is pulling us, creating a yearning – a thirst that can't be quenched until we get to that place. It's as if the place itself has some power or capability of relationship. Mahatma Ghandi said, "There is an indefinable, mysterious power that pervades everything. I feel it, though I do not see it. It is this unseen power that makes itself felt and yet defies all proof, because it is so unlike all that I perceive through my senses. It transcends the senses."

 

Some of you have probably heard about ley lines. This term refers to invisible lines of energy that run through the earth in a grid-like form. Water tends to run along these lines and people with high sensitivity to these lines of earth energy had methods of finding water and springs by connecting with the lines through dowsing – using a forked branch or metal rod. Many of the first nation people used only their open palm stretched out in front of them to feel the energy vibration and locate water … or perhaps they used the lines to for other things … like where to locate sacred ritual spots. We know that many ancient civilizations erected temples, ritual sites, gathering places and burial mounds in straight lines. In fact, the remains of old ritual sites are often found in straight line patterns across the earth. Freemasons tracked energy lines when building and designing castles, cathedrals and burial grounds.

 

They made use of volcanic plugs – which are places where molten rock hardened in the event of an active volcano « plugging up » so to speak the enormous pressure within the volcano. These are considered power points in the earth.
