Interview with Melanie
(an email interview conducted in April 2010)
(Joshua Notes: Before we share some of the amazing photographs of
the Orbs taken during our visit in March, we felt it was important to have
Melanie explain for our readers, a bit about the history of the "Bluff Trail
Labyrinth", how they decided to built it and what has occurred since the
Labyrinth was constructed. So here in Melanie's own words is the answer to
these questions and more.)
(A recent photo of Melanie meditating in the labyrinth and
the type of phenomena and orbs that appear - the orbs must
really love Melanie -- that is why so many are appearing, yes?)
1)
Melanie, can you and Jerry tell us about yourselves? What is your back-ground
and how did you meet?
I was divorced three years ago and had moved back in with my parents until I
could get back on my feet again. I had sold all of our furniture except the
couch. It needed to be repaired because the cord for the recliner was broken.
My girlfriend suggested that Jerry could fix it. Ironically, Jerry had been in
my wedding 17 years earlier. We had lost touch with him throughout the years. He
never married and did not have any children. He took care of his parents until
they passed away. When I drove by his house, my girlfriend told me to stop and
ask him if he could fix the couch. I pulled into his driveway and he was
standing by his truck. He agreed to come to my storage shed and replace the
cord.
Of course, the day he came it was 100 degrees in the shade. He never complained
and we ended up talking for almost 3 hours that day! He wouldn’t accept
any money for repairing it, so I made him a pork chop supper and that was the
beginning of our life together.
( Another view of the labyrinth - you notice up front is a square of stones
{see next
photo} - Melanie has setup a few spaces within the maze of stones and also that
the "crystal kids" are sitting in the center area which is white sand before the
bench. )
2)
When did the idea of the labyrinth start? As before you started to create
the labyrinth, there was nothing sitting on this location or was there some type
of machinery if I recall correctly?
(Note: Melanie and
Jerry call their sacred place the "Bluff Trail {Peace} Labyrinth")
On October 1st (2008) Jerry and I took the dogs for a walk. As we came to the
field where the labyrinth is (currently located on our property, Jerry's home),
I looked at the weeds growing. The land was once a junk yard of old lawn mowers,
engines, tools and other items that had lost their usefulness. I said to Jerry
“we have to do some-thing with this land”. Jerry agreed.
Suddenly, a thought came thundering into my head like a heard of wild horses and
I spit out the words “we should build a labyrinth”. “What is that?” Jerry
replied. “It’s like a maze” I replied. I turned around and (then) Jerry was
gone. I heard the tractor start up and in 20 minutes he had plowed up the soil
where the labyrinth would be. Ten days and a few miracles later, the labyrinth
was finished.
( Here is a close-up of another boxed area made up of different type of
stones
plus in this area are a few religious statues as well, each of these areas
has a certain type of theme or energy which they hold .... )
3)
How did you receive all the stones and religious and spiritual items that are
sitting within the labyrinth?
Most of the statues were donated. I purchased polished stones from a variety of
rock shops. After the labyrinth became popular, people started bringing their
rock collections. There are stones from China, Spain and France. My friends who
travel bring back stones from Sedona and other sacred sites.
Yesterday I came home and there was a bag with a few stones in it and a small
slip of paper with the word “Labyrinth” written on it. People are so kind and
thoughtful!
( This is a small stream or brook which Melanie and Jerry created which is
directly next to the labyrinth again surround by a variety of stones ...)
4)
When did you first notice there was something special going on that was out of
the ordinary within the labyrinth?
When the labyrinth was finished, we invited some friends to come out and walk
it. They started telling people about it and soon it was a busy place. Within a
week, I started receiving telephone calls from people who said they were getting
“healed” or having “insights” about issues in their lives after they walked the
labyrinth.
At first Jerry and I did not really believe it. We thought it was just a
coincidence. It took numerous events and a few spontaneous healings to convince
us that this was indeed a sacred place.
( On the trees just ahead of the stream and again on the border of the
labyrinth
are special symbols and chimes handing on the trees again to share special
energies.)
5)
When did the Orbs begin to appear within the labyrinth?
Jerry helped finish the path in the labyrinth on October 10, 2008 and was the
first person to walk it. When he started walking it, I ran into the house and
grabbed my camera and took pictures. When I viewed them, there were white
circles showing up. I thought it was dust. They continued showing up and I
finally went out and bought a new camera.
I was still taking pictures with my new camera and those white circles showed up
in most of the pictures taken at night. One day it had rained. I went out and
took pictures and the circles were still showing up. Suddenly the light-bulb
went on inside my head and I figured out that these circles were NOT dust but
that something (really) strange was going on! I did some research on the
internet and discovered the white circles were Orbs.
During the winter, I created a snowman inside the labyrinth and a huge orb with
a beautiful pattern inside stayed near the snowman each night until he
completely melted. Up until May of 2009, the orbs had been white in color. On
May 3rd, I went out as usual to take pictures of the Orbs and when I copied them
onto my computer, I could hardly believe it. The orbs were showing all of the
colors of the rainbow. In July, other phenomena started appearing in the
pictures. Some looked like plasma, floating ropes, flying teddy bears and giant
dragon flies.
( Just before you enter the area of the Labyrinth, are two of the buildings
on
the property. The building to your right is where Melanie and Jerry live.
The orbs
early on, would come and visit the family in the house but it scared the
children
(two daughters Melanie has via a prior marriage) so Melanie told the Orbs they
were not allowed to come into the home and the Orbs have followed this request)
6)
Have you ever received any direct communication from the orbs in the labyrinth
or any spirits that might be in the area.
I have not received any direct communication from the Orbs or Spirits, however,
I have asked the Orbs to move to a new area and they have done this. If I ask a
question such as “I wonder if they can show me movement”. The next picture I
take is of a moving Orb. They seem to be telepathic. Some of the Orb pictures
have human faces inside them. Maybe they are vehicles for spirits to transport
into our dimension.
( A close-up of the "Crystal Kids" sitting at the center of the labyrinth,
just after we
arrived on Friday, March 26th. We noticed that our skulls changed
energetically
after spending time within this sacred place. Also Joshua felt there was a
strong
energy or vortex at the center {you will see some photos of this on other
pages.} )
7)
How did the crystal skulls become connected to the labyrinth? Does the energy
linked to the crystal skulls resonate in some fashion with the labyrinth or what
happens when a crystal skull is placed within the labyrinth?
I was not familiar with how to use crystal skulls until I watched a documentary on TV this
past January and it showed them placing the skulls inside a labyrinth.
(Note from Melanie: I had owned a crystal skull
for a long time, but it sat on the shelf like a rock)
That
sparked my curiosity and I ordered some more crystal skulls from the internet. An
interesting event happened when the skulls arrived. I placed them on the dresser
in our bedroom. One morning I let the dogs out and noticed the icicles in front
of our house were
pointing straight in. They seemed to defy gravity. I took pictures of this
strange phenomena. The labyrinth seems to “increase” the energy of the crystal
skulls. At least this is what I am sensing. I have about 8 crystal skulls in the
labyrinth now.
( Another view of the "crystal kids" at the center of the Labyrinth - do you
feel they were enjoying spending time here? Do they seem to be glowing? )
8)
What do you believe is the purpose or reason you created this labyrinth?? Is
there a future destiny for your labyrinth in your opinion?
I believe the purpose of the labyrinth is the heal the earth or heal the people
on the earth. Although I am the caretaker of this sacred structure, it
definitely has a consciousness of its own. It seems to be a portal for other
dimensions.
The future destiny is probably the same now as it was when ancient man first put
this amazing structure on the earth. They were used for healing, meditation and
other rituals. I believe there is also another reason. They could be capable of
taking us to other dimensions of reality. It feels like time and space changes
or shifts when you are inside it for any length of time. Maybe it is a doorway
to a higher vibration. I definitely feel it is leading me down the road to
solving the mystery of its existence.
( The Crystal Skull Explorers, Katrina and Joshua, with the "kids"
experiencing the energy of Labyrinth with a chance to walk
the path later in the evening. Boy oh Boy, was there a very
strong energy here - so strong that as we neared the end
of the labyrinth path, we almost were losing our balance!! )
9)
How have people who have visited the labyrinth respond to its energy? How do
people hear about the labyrinth? Where have people traveled from that have come
to see the Labyrinth?
Everyone who walks the labyrinth has a different experience. For some it is a
soothing meditative experience. Others have experienced valuable insights on
issues that were challenging them. I’ve seen people dancing and laughing and
others who are sobbing as they release painful emotions.
Our labyrinth is discovered by mainly by word of mouth. Those who hear about it
go out and tell their friends. It is listed on the labyrinth locator website
with my e-mail for contact information.
We have had visitors from Canada, North Carolina, Illinois and Iowa. People have
also come from all over Wisconsin. Native Americans have been especially drawn
to it.
( In this photo, we see some of the people who attended
our workshop on
Saturday, March 27th, after the workshop finished, walking the Labyrinth. )
10)
Is there anything thing else you wish to share about the labyrinth or feel is
important for our readers to know that was not asked in the previous
questions?
Or are there any other special personal experiences you wish to
mention?
It is interesting to me that crop circles have the same phenomena occurring
inside them as our labyrinth. Cameras act up and the batteries die, Orbs appear
in the pictures, people experience powerful shifts, time slippage and altered
states of awareness. There is even a crop circle with a labyrinth pattern.
Regardless of whether or not we solve the mystery of these structures, we need
to trust that they have a higher purpose and are here to help us on many levels.
They utilize an ancient wisdom combined with the vibrations of sacred geometry.
I would encourage everyone to go out and experience a labyrinth.
11)
Can people contact you if they wish to learn more? How can they contact you? Are
people free to come visit or do they need to make a reservation?

injured foot was 95% healed while in the labyrinth!
December 2009 - Our waitress at the local restaurant was experiencing terrible
hip pain. She could barely walk. I placed her name in the prayer box and placed
it under the bench in the labyrinth. Two days later, Jerry was having lunch
there and she came up and said "Thank you - I am much better"
About Crystal Skulls and a Report of our visit from Melanie's site:
http://peacelabyrinth.webs.com/crystalskulls.htm
What Are Orbs?
(written by Melanie)
TRUTH - no one really knows. There are many theories. My goal with this page
is to give you as much information as possible and allow you to come to your
very own conclusion.
I decided to include an Orb page because if you come out to the labyrinth after
dark, and someone takes your picture, these round spheres of light will most
likely be in your picture.
Where do Orbs hang out?
It is my opinion that Orbs can be anywhere. That's right - they are everywhere.
They tend to show up at special events and also in sacred sites around the
world.
How do I photograph them?
You need to have a camera that is able to pick up infrared light. Miceal Ledwith
came up with a method to hold your TV remote control pointing toward your
digital camera and hold down any button. Then look in your LCD screen of your
camera and see if you detect a light. The more light, the better the camera can
pick up orbs. The price of the camera is not so important as its ability to pick
up the infrared light.
UPDATE: I have found through taking thousands of Orb pictures that the range of
your flash is also an important factor. I have 2 sony cyber-shot cameras and
they both do a great job of capturing orbs.
How do I get started?
Well, first I would recommend that you have an open mind. Be willing to accept
these energy lights into your environment. Then go out after dark, put your
flash on and start taking pictures. Then preview the pictures you have to see if
any Orbs have shown up. Review the pictures on this website for the night-time
pictures of Orbs and compare these pictures to your own. If you take pictures
during the day, be sure to have your flash on. The orbs are able to show up
easier if you use the flash. Be sure to check your lens for dust and smudges.
Also, it is much easier if you can run fast, just in case your fear gets the
best of you (just kidding).
( A photo taken during Friday night, after the short intro talk, by one of
the
attendees named Linda F. Again this is a teaser of the type of photos we
will be sharing on the pages coming next - what are these Orbs? Are they
Spirits? Are they the Spirits of the Native American's who lived in this
area before? Or could they be another form of life that exists with us on
another dimension which the modern cameras are sensitive enough to record? )
