A weekend in Yorkshire! Saddleworth Moor

I’ve just come back from a weekend trip to Yorkshire, Huddersfield and Saddleworth Moor. We also visited the village of Holmfirth, home to the TV series ‘Last Of The Summer Wine’.Castle Hill – Huddersfield

Castle hill is an ancient monument overlooking Huddersfield. Here lies the remains of a late bronze age hillfort and a medieval village. The tower itself was built to commemorate Queen Victoria’s reign and was completed in 1899.

Holmfirth is more well known for the long running series ‘last Of The Summer Wine’ that ran for over 30 years! Today you can visit the museum under the famous steps where Compos love interest Nora Batty frequently chased him off with a broom! The quaint village built from Yorkshire stone also has numerous tea rooms.

Saddleworth Moor

Saddleworth Moor is a windswept bleak place of stunning earthly beauty. These photos were taken overlooking the reservoir. It is a popular with families, Dog walkers and mountain bikers on weekends.

The moor has a dark history and became infamous in the 1960s due to Myra Hindley and Ian Bradys horrific crimes.

How to HEAL Labyrinthitus

how to heal labyrinthitus

I am currently in my 7th month of chronic labyrinthitus and I have used the below method with some really great results. I have written this as an instructional piece for the Labyrinthitus support group on Facebook.

Ok guys, I have attached a few links at the end too but even if you googled healing hands, using hands to heal you will find all sorts of information. Healing has been around for centuries, hey, Jesus was a healer and I’m not even religious but it does help if you believe in something greater than us out there as this is where you will be getting the healing energy from! I’m not too keen on saying god but I use the word source.

What you need to do is find a quiet room. You only need to do around 15 minutes a day, twice a day if possible. I use the morning and then the evening. Hey, I even watch TV and do it!

1. Rub your hands together to warm them up. Then place your palms together with an inch or two imbetween. If you keep them here for a minute or two you may already start to notice tingling like electricity or warmth. If you dont, no worries. Now place one of your hands on the ear that is most effected. You dont need to touch your ear, just let it hover a few inches above it. I fond this way also helps to really start to feel the energy pouring out of your plams and the heat and tingling. It helps me validate there IS something there!

2. Imagine a golden light coming from source/ god/ creator/ her ; ) coming down from above and through the top of your head. This energy is running through you and through your palms.

3. Once you can visualise this light coming down from above, just keep your hands in place for around 15 minutes. You should feel warmth, some will feel extreme heat, others will feel tingling like electricity, some may even feel cool air! I usually notice heat and tingling and I keep my hands there until they cool down. You almost sense that your ear has taken the healing energy it needs for that evening and you can stop now and let nature work its course. if not, just try for around 15 minutes.

IMPORTANT : It is important to visualise or at least be aware that the energy is coming from source or you can drain yourself.
