In this series we investigate orbs, those spheres of light that can appear in your photographs.

Guarding Sacred Spot in Stonehenge, England

After visiting Glastonbury in the summer of 2008 we continued our drive through the English countryside to Stonehenge. There we saw an orb that was visible in the morning light of sunrise. It had made this place of the Stonehenge circle its home.

Its energy was fixed – there was less movement. It was watching this place, as an ancient one would do. It was watching this site more than guarding it. You could say that this place of Stonehenge has a force field around it that protects it, just as the giant stones do. This orb is simply situated there to be a part of that deep experience.

You could say that this orb is more of a thought form orb that has been purposely placed there by people of the past to observe and maintain a sacred or mystical type of experience. Yet, there are other orbs that we saw there that appeared and disappeared with great speed and agility, as pure life form orbs seem to do. So we would say that this location holds an interesting mix of orbs – some pure orbs and some thought form orbs.

Have Your Own Orb Experience!

When you are visiting a site that has been used for sacred purposes, such as Stonehenge or your local church, quietly take out your camera and notice if there are any orbs in your midst. Notice how they look and feel to you.

Notice how some orbs may feel as though they have a distinct personal purpose. These thought form orbs may have been placed there by the thoughts of people, either intentionally or unintentionally. They may hold the idea of sacredness for that site. They may also just be coagulations of many thoughts that have been repeated at that location.

Notice how other orbs may feel naturally curious and as though they have a group purpose. These are more the pure orbs. Notice how they simply enjoy the aspect of sacredness. They find sacredness to be curious, and they enjoy the effervescence of that experience. Isn’t it wonderful how sacred sites can offer you such an interesting mix of orbs!
