Inner Sun

I do still experience it from time to time, and I occasionally Invoke it in the Temple at the High Altar, (during a Festival) as I very much associate it with standing between the twin pillars facing the High Altar as there is very strong earth energy there.  One of our Priestesses told me that the last time I invoked The Inner Sun that she immediately experienced it herself, and at the last Festival in September before Olivia left for the U.S. she had sent round the beautiful carved Wwheel of the Sun which her nephew David carved a number of years ago for the Temple.  Each of us was to take it and turn it slightly and make a wish.... a lady sitting in front of me missed her turn because of the way it was moving amongst those present and I put my hands on her back with the intention of making up for that contact with the Sun Wheel, and she told me later that she had received the Sun energy, so that was good.  One thing which was always very clear to me about The Inner Sun that if you are lucky enough to experience it, that it is important to pass it on to others very freely.  I did so quite spontaneously from the start, and it has been a source of much joy and it appears to touch those who receive it very deeply.  It feels as if one is sitting on a beach with the Sun beating down on your back and if you feel it yourself, you only have to place a hand behind the person sitting next to you .... and they can do the same, and so it can quickly pass round to a whole group sitting in a ring!  Quite delightful. An interesting association which was reinforced for me recently is that of Archangel Michael with the Sun as well.  I have a wonderful small crystal which has his energy programmed into it. (It is a long story which I won't go into unless anyone wants me to!)  However, the energy can be so strong that I was told originally when I got it from the friend who programmed it, that I shouldn't keep it near me except when I was using it, to which I found myself saying quite intuitively at the time, "No it's alright, it has an "on & off" button, (a bit like a torch....!) He was quite startled, took it back from me, held it for a moment, and then handed it back saying "It does now!"  Everyone who holds it, having turned it on, gets a special and personal experience.  I have always had an association with Michael ever since I was a child at school.  Interestingly, shortly after I got this crystal, I found a small heart-shaped, quite rough but sparkly, whitish pebble which jumped up at me from the ground in the gravel at the garden centre near my home where Olivia and I have lunch from time to time.  I picked it up and was led to hold it in my other hand when I used the Michael crystal.  The message I received was that it was acting as a natural balancer to the Sun energy of the Michael crystal, and that this lovely pebble represented the energy of the Moon, so that male and female energy, would be held in balance, and I found this to be a very helpful association.
