This is a portal Initiation created with a crystal grid. I was awoken during the night and told to create it – awoken numerous times, in fact. They obviously did not want me to forget it, as I did forget the other one they suggested! But, I’m sure it will come back – at some future point. It is a meditation which can be done as often as you feel the impulse, and each time you listen, and follow the journey, the gifts you receive will be different.
Although I had my own plans about what to create and post, it would appear that ‘Upstairs’ had different ideas.
So here is a gift from my guides to you. May it serve you well. Enjoy.
A few months ago, I was driving through Crab Wood, (on the outskirts of Winchester, in Hampshsire) and received a message from the trees which, at the time, I completely misinterpreted. Crab Wood is an older woodland on the outskirts of Winchester, in hampshire. It is covered in bluebells in late Spring and has been coppiced since at least the sixteenth century. It also contains beech trees, some large old oak, birch and ash and lies within the boundaries of Farley Mount Woods, which has its own elemental energy guardian.

I was feeling particularly tired, over-extended and emotionally drained on that day, and I needed the green of early spring leaves to make me feel normal again. The one-track road snakes through the woods, surrounded on each side by beech trees planted to create a boundary line, and as I drove along I suddenly felt like I was a tree and had four large branches, each extending, like arms, in four directions. At the time, I interpreted this to mean I was being supported by the tree, and that it existed somewhere in these woods. It felt very nurturing, as though the tree was reminding me that I was not alone; my tree-family were with me. At that point, it was exactly what I needed, and so feeling soothed, I continued on to my father’s home.
Three weeks ago, (July 13th) I drove that way again, but I was early and decided to stop off in a layby to go for a walk. I had passed a path through the trees many times but never stopped to explore it. Today was the day for exploration. I followed the path until I saw a huge old beech tree, which on approaching, I could feel its energy. It extended out about twenty feet from the trunk.
First Beech Tree.
For this tree, I had to walk around it anti-clockwise and when I did, I placed my hand on its trunk and allowed my consciousness to travel upwards into its branches. There, I experienced a mind-to-mind connection, like a melding of consciousness, and I was told I needed to walk back the way I had come because there was another tree I needed to connect to. As I walked away, following the instructions, I felt a gold line connect to my crown centre from the upper branches which I knew was to do with the other tree.
When I came to the road, there was the tree I had passed on my way into the woods. I had noticed it at the time but, because I felt no energy from it, continued along the path. But I had needed to notice it because it turned out to be important. That often happens. You notice something but it doesn’t feel ‘quite right’. Yet!
I tuned into the tree and saw an amethyst above its branches. At first, I thought I was imagining it. Why would a tree be connecting to an upper, crystalline layer? But then, I saw energy from the amethyst layer flow into the branches, filling them up. But the energy didn’t stop where the branches did, it continued to flow out the end of each tip creating a giant amethyst sphere all around the tree.

The tree was the conduit, and anchor, for the amethyst energy which spread out well beyond it. I had the idea that every person who drove by, or walked that path, would receive some of this energy and the thoughtforms it contained. The amethyst level of the earth’s crystalline field is a higher frequency layer akin to the spiritual mind of Earth, if you imagine that earth has its own energy field, just as we do. That Mind contains ideas and thoughts that can benefit the world, like a computer database which we can download mentally, if we are given access. I wondered what those thoughts and ideas might be. Perhaps ways of caring for the woodland and the surrounding countryside, or more in line with what nature wants, rather than what we think it needs? Or, perhaps, they could be spiritual ideas, ways of staying healthy or ways to connect with trees. I don’t know. But I will be keeping an eye on what happens in the area.
I didn’t have time to do more, although I knew that on the other side of the road, and up the path through that part of the woods, there was another tree I needed to find. But it would have to wait until next time.
On the seventeenth of July, having time to spare, I followed the path through the other woods. I had no idea where to find this tree but I knew it was there somewhere. I walked through the woodland, took photos of fungi, and felt the trees I came to along the way. Feeling is about opening awareness and feeling for the vibration of consciousness. The right tree would make itself known. Having wandered for over half an hour, following little paths that meandered through the woods, I found myself in a clearing. There was the tree I was looking for.
First Mother Tree
There were two trees in this clearing and I knew both were significant. One was a Mother Tree, the other, a Brother. That is how they came to me. They didn’t feel ‘awake’, but I acknowledged them both and went to the older Mother Tree to tune in. I sat at the base of the tree but felt the need to walk anti-clockwise around it. However, when I had finished the first circuit, I continued to walk clockwise around the Brother Tree, thereby creating a lemniscate pattern of golden light. I did this three times. Something made me feel this was not simply about the trees but also about a situation in ‘real life’, that this joining was about joining a mother with a son. Yet this figure of eight pattern not only joined, energetically, it also created a boundaried separation, as though it was saying: you are energetically connected, but exist independentlywith your own purpose, and within your own space. And that is as it should be.
The Brother Tree
I was impulsed to stand on the cross-over point of the pattern of eight and as I did, I saw a gold line going from this point along the way I had come, then another going off in the opposite direction. I knew I had to follow this second line.
This gold-line direction was showing me the path to another tree, and I had to completely trust my intuition, because I was in the woods after all, and the paths are not straight, as the gold line was. But the next tree was so obvious. It was huge, very old and the energy emanating from it was unmistakable.
The Guardian.
I walked towards her and her energy was strong. She invited me to connect with her, so I walked around her once, and then leaned my back against her wide trunk. Then I heard her say: I am an old woman, guardian of these woods for many years. I hold the elemental energies of this place, ensuring all is kept in balance. She felt so old, like a grandmother, and all the trees were her children. Much like the tree in the woods beside Lainston house on a previous visit.
Then she went on to give me advice on how to work with the elemental energies of France and Spain, which is the next part of my journey, once I am complete here in the UK. As she spoke, I had that familiar feeling of wanting to curl up in her roots and sleep like a baby. This is a common experience when connecting with a Mother tree. They have such a nurturing energy that you feel you want to lie down in the safety and love they provide. In the photo just above, you can see how children have created a couple of rope swings to swing from her branches, which is lovely.
Before I left, she gave me an etheric bottle of her essence, to fill me when I needed extra energetic help. These etheric energies kick in when needed and most times I don’t know I am using them. Much of it happens in the astral layer of the energy field.
That earlier connection, through one tree, as I drove through Crab Wood, was a download I would be using at some later point, but which I didn’t recognise at the time. And that is often how it works. You could be given an energy that might come into play months, even years, after the initial download. But as soon as you ‘see’ it, while working, you will recognise it and remember. In effect, you are like a living computer with installed software in the different layers of your energy field which you only use when called to do so. Which is reassuring because then, nothing is wasted. Even if you have to take breaks between the times you work and the times you cannot, you can be safe knowing that the energies will be used at some point. Sometimes too, it is not the right time and other things need to happen first, or you need further development before you are ready for that particular job.
But rest assured, it will happen, because once the download is installed, it is only a matter of time.
What was most interesting to me about this particular tree-work was the connection with the crystalline Amethyst sphere. I had not been aware that trees could channel these energies, or that they were compatible with the very different crystalline energies and were able to hold them. But I suppose, if we, as healers, can hold the energies of trees perhaps I should not be so surprised that trees can hold the energies of crystals. The tree was an anchor for those energies, like bringing heaven to earth, making those higher thoughts available to us here on the ground.
If you want to visit, the tree is on the left side just before you leave the woods on the way to Sparsholt Village. It lies next to the path which leads up along the wood boundary.
Three weeks ago, my guides transferred to me a new way of sharing the crystal energies I had been carrying for over twenty years. It involved the use of crystal rays, anchored in the chakras on three separate, but interconnected levels. I initially received these crystal energies over a period of months in 2004, and at that time, my guides told me that this was the symbolism used in the breastplate of Aaron. The video below shows how it was constructed, according to one version of sacred writings, but if you think about this as both a physical object and an energetic object, you may get a glimpse of what the crystals might have been used for and what energies the priest was capable of working with. Remember too that Moses, his brother Aaron (priest) and his sister Miriam, (prophetess) came from Egypt and the knowledge they held was learned there.
This would also explain the symbolism of the colours used in the weaving of the plate itself. I think that over time the true meaning of this breastplate was forgotten as history was rewritten and changed over the telling of it. What may have been understood when the high priests first wore the plate, was no longer understood, or maybe the interpretations changed because the scribes didn’t have access to the sacred knowledge. Who knows?
When you hold these crystal energies in your chakras, they give you access to the crystalline layers of the earth’s energy field. These spheres, and their crystal rays, are anchored one sphere at a time, with a space of time between each anchoring to allow each level to be fully integrated. Each sphere corresponds to a crystal energy in the Earth’s energy field. (See the video below).
The first sphere contains two crystal rays: Emerald for the nature-elementals of land, and Blue Topaz for the world of the sea. These two energies represent the consciousness of land and sea and all the layers they contain, including the physical. The planet is, at its most basic level, the physical matter of land and water.
The spheres are anchored electrically, meaning their energy affects the electromagnetic energy of your field. Lightning, in the form of an energetic bolt, is used as a high-voltage cleanser, cleansing heavy energies both in the human energy-field and in the planetary field. Physical lightning does the same breaking up heavy, stagnant energy and renewing the area. It recharges the part of the world is actively engaged with.
The second sphere is a higher vibrational energy made up of Ruby and Diamond, the Feminine and Masculine energy- fields around the planet, the layers that contain the DivineMother and Divine Father thoughtforms. These layers hold positive beliefs about Love and pure spiritual thought, thoughtforms which are being anchored by many people around the world. The Ruby is Divine Feminine LOVE and the Diamond is Divine Masculine THOUGHT.
In each of the first two spheres, the pairing of land and sea; Mother and father, provides Balance.
The third sphere is the Amethyst, which contains the higher thoughtforms of purpose, and spiritual development on earth. This would be akin to the Spiritual MIND which is above all physical, emotional, or mental concerns. It does not contain two balancing energies because it is above polarity. Our world exists as a polarity, which is not a bad thing. Polarity links two things together. It connects, like the positive and negative ends of a battery. We need both energies, in this world, to learn and grow and to live.
If you were to imagine the earth as a human energy-field, the levels would correspond to the physical, etheric, emotional, mental, and higher mental body. The crystal energy in each of these crystal ‘bodies’ influences how we think and how we relate to the different aspects of each sphere. If you knew that you were related energetically to nature, if you knew, without doubt, that you were related to the trees and the plants; if you saw your sameness, the way we are all composed of the same elements of nature in different ways, would you treat it like a commodity? Would you destroy the worlds of all your relatives for your own personal desires? Or would you want to work in partnership with that world; recognising that we are all related and that what you do for one you do for all?
The same idea applies to the second sphere. How we relate to each other, as males and females living on the planet, how we think as male and female, how we fight, how we heal, how we learn to work together, etc.. is what this sphere influences. (Again, I am talking here about polarities, not gender identification, which may also be part of the learning to balance the opposite polarities within oneself).
Gaia’s body contains many dimensions. The crystalline intelligence is just one of those and one which we learn to use in anchoring her Divine crystal energies into the grid. Working with these layers influences the development of those qualities in humans. The ancestors understood the crystalline energies well because they built their stone circles and other monuments with stones that contain quartz and other types of crystal. They might not have understood it in the same way as we do now, but they understood its importance in holding energy and its ability to transmit that energy into the landscape.
I have been working with these crystal layers for quite a while, but this attunement allows me to pass it on and work with it in a more precise way. Previously, we opened sites to the Ruby layer, and to the Diamond but only one to the Amethyst band. Sites which allow access to these crystal layers are Gateway sites. It is part of what makes them special. I have a sneaky feeling that the Gateways to the Underworld, known as the Sidhe, might also have served this function and this knowledge came down to us in folklore. Of course, there is a way to test this theory … if anyone wants to try it.
One amethyst site that immediately springs to mind is one of the burial mounds, or barrows, near the cursus at Stonehenge. When we were working with the barrows there, the amethyst was clearly visible above one of the barrows, as though it was suspended in the air. That was my first awareness of there being an Amethyst layer. There may well be other, higher vibrational crystal layers, but we haven’t accessed them yet.
Uffington, famous for its White horse carved into the side of a hill, is a Ruby site, as are both Banjo enclosures in Micheldever Woods, Hampshire. When you are on the top of the hill, you are sitting in the layer of the Ruby, which looks more magenta than red. The magenta contains the pink of Divine love.
At a Banjo enclosure site, the gateway for Ruby energy is usually at the bottom of the avenue, rather than at the centre, which is where you will usually find the Emerald energy. The Emerald energy, therefore, regulates the elemental energies that create fertility around, and in, the site, And the Ruby gateway opens the upper layer, the energy of Mother, which either funnels down to the gateway or up from the gateway. Sometimes, at different points of the year, the Ruby travels up the avenue and into the Banjo enclosure to encompass the emerald energy sphere. So it is radiating both Emerald and Ruby.
The crystalline layers intersect on different levels, which means they can also bridge sites of a different time, and a different belief system, such as Bronze Age/Iron Age sites with modern Christianity. I believe this is what they were designed to do.

There is a mingling of beliefs happening across the world, as newer ideas take hold, but it is important that some of the more ancient ideas stay with us. Our ancestors knew what they were doing, energetically, and it is important that we remember, and continue to develop the interdimensional work they did so well.
Most of the work we have been doing lately has been about bridging the different timelines, reinfusing Christian rituals with the ancient fertility rituals, and acknowledgement the Earth as Mother. Working in Timelimes is important as valuable information is retrieved from ancestral wisdom traditions.
