A lonely place - nature left to its own devices - where one can wander bare-foot and be undisturbed; where one can sit and contemplate; make plans; reminisce. The cottage in the distance is the link with reality; it provides the feeling of safety that is often missing in very isolated places. This beach would be a good place to travel to during a meditation. It is also the perfect starting point for a story or a poem.

This purple orchid, so exquisite; who can seriously believe what science tells us: – that this is a random collection of atoms thrown together without design, for no purpose. In a spiritual sense this flower, like the Ace in the tarot deck, stands for passion in whatever it is you are doing or wish to do. It offers clarity, strength, confidence and determination while keeping you grounded, realistic and focused.

Here is an example of how man can manipulate nature. Very often these cross-bred plants produce little or no pollen for the insects but they bring financial reward for the grower. In a spiritual sense they stand for illusion, hope without reality; belief without knowledge. They represent something that is too good to be true!

These standing stones on The Isle of Lewis (Scotland) have one of the strongest energy fields that I have encountered. Visit early in the morning or later after the last tourists have left. Stand with your back pressed against one of the stones and silently ask the question: “what happened here?” Historically very little is known but I had a very strong physical experience when I asked that self-same question.

This peaceful lake with a blue sky overhead, birds flying over the water and trees in the background is a familiar English scene. It is idyllic, timeless, at one with nature. Spiritually, it calms us and gives us time to take a breath, to take stock and to reflect on our emotions. If we are low it may induce a feeling of loneliness; if we are in a good place it may invoke happy memories or plans for the future. If you have a multitude of this type of photograph then ask yourself what emotion do they bring to the fore? If you do become emotional it may help to put your thoughts into words, written or spoken.
