MILE END, London - Waterways and pastureland

I visited a client today in Mile End, London (what a beautiful day!) - and did a little tune in to the land energies there.

My parents met on the platform at Mile End station many moons ago, so it has special significance for me, though I must say, not the best energy in the station. I could feel it before I had even arrived - a protective ‘resistance’ around it. On the platform, I notice a ‘hollowness’ to the ground below…and my sense, burial pits at some point in its history. I picked up the station was sold as a ‘block’ - a parcel - to facilitate expansion of a ‘town’ deal; a sale to acquire growth for a larger invested party. (Checking Wiki after, and indeed it changed hands more than once) with the 2 tube lines (convergence) seen as fortuitous. The land is not clear of distress though.

Mile End is so interesting! A fascinating array of buildings, new and old. The beautiful Victoria Park - such lovely, soft energy; I could strongly feel the underlying ‘pastureland’. And so evenly balanced. The Regents Canal is fascinating - and it’s energy and underlying sub-streams of aqua-ducts and water tables create a natural irrigation system. When passing, give a nod to the spirit ‘lock keepers’ who ensure safe passage - though some of the bridge ‘guardians’ may best be left alone (you will probably notice how each canal tunnel has a different ‘vibe’). The locks and canal are missing being used - they have energies to share; a faster ‘movement’ than we are giving them.

The name ‘Mile End’ relates to its distance from Aldgate, but for me its centre of gravity is the abundance of water, though the towpaths do not ‘work’ energetically with pedestrians and cyclists confused and moving in all directions. The energy lines run ‘up-to’ (and inside) the canal, not alongside it.

With one eye on Canary Wharf and the future, and the other tending to life closer to the ground, my take home is what the area has to offer: the transient nature of a life in flux. This can work ‘for us’, as it does at Mile End and it’s surrounding waterways.

Oh, and I was picking up a strong link to ‘beer’ …and a blending of flavours (and cultures) much like a well- formed beer!

I would love to hear how you experience the area?
