The Glastonbury Experience – am I missing something?


Today I paid another visit to Glastonbury.  It was a beautiful day, and perfect for a stroll up to the Tor.  I love the walk to the Tor and the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.  I also like the notices advising of where the sheep are grazing and where you can let your dogs off the lead, this is really helpful when you have four legged companions with you, as you know where they are safe to have a little run. 

As usual it was very busy on the Tor making any prospect of a few moments reflection difficult, so we took some pictures, admired the view for a while, and then headed back to the town.  But, whilst walking away from the Tor, and walking to and around town, I had this feeling a slight discomfort.  I’ve had this feeling on previous occasions, and despite enjoying walking around and exploring the intriguing shops, and of course the book shop, there is this feeling I can’t shake off.  I feel perturbed, and the feeling follows me home.

It prompted me to write this blog as I am not sure what this feeling is.   Talk to many people and they find Glastonbury spiritual, enlightening, mystic, healing and so forth, and I am disappointed that I don’t feel this.  Why is this so? 

I appreciate that we don’t all feel energy and vibration in the same way, but why when it seems the majority flock to Glastonbury due to the above, that I feel the opposite, almost a heaviness, a feeling that makes me feel uncomfortable. 

Maybe there is too much energy there, or maybe I am susceptible to the less ‘positive’ energy -  I imagine a place that attracts so many for numerous reasons must build up an assortment of energy vibrations.

Whatever the reason, I hope one day I can visit Glastonbury and feel the Glastonbury Experience that many enthuse about.

I’d love to hear what others have experienced on their visits.
