Fascinating images taken by Michelle Shumay _ images and text (c) Michelle Shumay 2009
In February 2009 I arrived in Wiltshire through a most kind and generous offer to stay with friends. I was excited at the prospect of seeing the beautiful English countryside as well as seeing one of my life long dreams of standing in a crop circle come true. I was also very interested in attempting to take photographs of what we refer to as "orbs".
I was blessed to camp during the summer of 2008 at James Gilliland's sanctuary at Mt. Adams, Trout Lake, Washington, where I was first introduced to the existence of orbs. There I witnessed people from all over the world taking amazing photos as well as the filming of orbs with infra-red equipment. It was here that I learned through observation, that the orbs would not appear if there were any negative energy amongst the people taking the photos. If there were a lightness of being, an openness, play, laughing, singing and especially if children were present, the orbs would appear. This proved to be true in my experience in Wiltshire as well.
If I attempted to take photos when I was not open, or in a proper mood, or in any way had my ego involved in wanting the orbs to appear they would not. There would only be a blank, dark screen when the flash went off. If I were in fear at all or feeling uneasy in being out at night, again , nothing would show.
The nights I felt open and loving and joyful and set an intention to connect , the screen would be full of orbs. This would never happen immediately. I would have to always spend at least a few minutes setting intention or praying for this to occur. I could take many pictures and be met with a blank screen then ask "are you here" and then one or two would show and it would build from there.
I began to experiment under different conditions as well as experiment with thought and music and communicating with what I referred to in my mind as " The Ancient Ones"
Some nights the waves of energy I felt in the presence of the Ancient Ones was profound.
Too many things occurred in my experience of taking the photographs for me to dismiss what was showing as simply dust.
I have known I was to share these photos and it was through a random meeting of Andrew and Paul in a crop circle that has led me to do so here.
I thank them for this opportunity to share the photographs.
I am very grateful for the gift of this experience.
