Healing Holistix

What, any kind of stone?

Yes apparently so, according to Fay. You could use a large crystal, but any lump of rock - granite? - will do. I think the theory is that it diverts the negativity out to the sides & away. Or something like that.

Are you going to tonight's Honiley walk, Paul?

Yes I am.

It is going to be a lovely evening weather-wise and there could be a Pub at the end of it.

I'll have to see if I can figure out the easiest way to get there...if there is one.

It was a lovely warm summer's evening, with the red orb of the Sun sinking slowly in the West.

Honiley church was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and is full of Masonic Symbols. It is also built on the intersection of Ley lines and has been designed to fit in with the energies of that place.

lovely evening rounded off with a pint of beer at the local pub!

Will you be there at this Thursday's walk, Paul? I'm going & hopefully heartofmotion will be able to come too.

It is down in the diary and if nothing untoward happens I will be there - and possibly SWMBO.

Hope to see you and HoM on Thursday.

Well last night's walk got washed out as usual! I was taking lots of random photos to see if I could catch an orb - and I did!! (So did another lady.) We were at Abbey Fields, and here is a pic of a young man called Chris (who has joined the forum today) with orbs all over the place!...



..and another of the old abbey wall with one on the top right hand corner...



As you can tell, it was almost dark by then. Paul & heartofmotion were also on the walk.

(I think I'll start an images thread specially for orbs!! Chris is going to post some photos of his wedding, where apparently there were orbs everywhere!!)

There speaks a dyed-in-the-wool sceptic!

I took 19 photos in the rain, & these were the only ones with orbs in them.

This is the one in the pub afterwards! No orbs there!

Small raindrops (radius < 1 mm...do you know how small that is??) are spherical; larger ones assume a shape more like that of a hamburger bun. When they get larger than a radius of about 4.5 mm they rapidly become distorted into a shape rather like a parachute with a tube of water around the base --- and then they break up into smaller drops.

This remarkable evolution results from a tug-of-war between two forces: the surface tension of the water and the pressure of the air pushing up against the bottom of the drop as it falls. When the drop is small, surface tension wins and pulls the drop into a spherical shape. With increasing size, the fall velocity increases and the pressure on the bottom increases causing the raindrop to flatten and even develop a depression. Finally, when the radius exceeds about 4 mm or so, the depression grows almost explosively to form a bag with an annular ring of water and then it breaks up into smaller drops.

The way raindrops change in shape as they grow is sketched in the cross-sections of drops below. As the drops become distorted, the meaning of a radius becomes vague, so the radius labeled is that of sphere which has the same mass.



(From Bad Rain. )

Raindrops start out as round high in the atmosphere as water collects on dust and smoke particles in clouds. But as raindrops fall, they lose their rounded shape. Instead, a raindrop is more like the top half of a hamburger bun. Flattened on the bottom and with a curved dome top.


This is not a raindrop.

I took that one.

Dem Orbs aren't raindrops because how do you get them in indoor photos?

No rain in there or working sprinkler systems
