The Borders of the United Kingdom

I have recently been to Brussels - back in March, and again this week. On my first trip to Brussels, I was interested to experience the energy of the centre of the EU (especially with the Ukraine invasion unfolding). I suppose I was anticipating it being ‘heavy’ or ‘congested’ or defensive in some way (Belgium is ‘land-locked’, uses multiple languages (a mix of Dutch, French, German), is the headquarters of NATO, the EU…). Instead, I found the energies so ‘light’. Both times took me by surprise.

Travelling on the Eurostar I was also surprised at how powerfully I could feel the different energies of each country (even at speeds of up to 300km/h…maybe because of the speeds). France felt so different to England, and Belgium, different again. But what felt most powerful - and uncomfortable - was on my return, exiting the tunnel into UK soil, felt like hitting a dense wall of lower vibrational energy. I often cough when I experience energy, and both times (even when dark outside) it felt like a blow to my body. It gave a visceral image of what we, in the UK, have been experiencing these past few years. In ‘closing’ our borders (post Brexit, post covid and energetically) ‘we’ (as a land) cannot exhale. A country exhales as well as inhales. In closing our borders, we have taken an expansive energy and tried to fit it into a smaller space. In the congestion, we are learning how to breathe again.

What became apparent as I disembarked the train, is a need for us to rise above the denser energies…to create a new breath given the ‘situation’ - as in, choose our own breath, outside of (and because of) what is happening collectively. The borders of the UK are reinforced through fear, it feels to me. This needs to change in order to open up our land again; to encourage it to flourish. This change is slowly happening with our compassion for Ukraine for instance, and hopefully we will expand in other ways too as we create new global and internal energy lines which ‘also’ become inclusive and co-creative trade routes.

It is time to breathe a higher, lighter energy - a new rhythm for the land we live on.

Love,
