Cave diving

“Once we tied into the main guideline I was able to break a sigh of relief that we found it and then I was able to stop and take it all in and this cavern became something that allowed my body and mind to slow down and take it all in as the stillness was enhanced, my breathing rate lower than the last 20 minutes had been and and I heard every heart beat, the sound of every breath flowing through my long hose towards my mouth and the lights all cascading a beautiful array of light patterns around this magical limestone paradise that were created millions of years ago.”

“For me, discovering a cave is like nothing else. When I am exploring a new cave, I experience a dissolution of ego – I feel as part of the cave, with it leading me forward, calling me around the next bend. It’s spiritual. I feel like Alice in Wonderland, thinking ‘Curiouser and curiouser. I don’t mind if I do,’ as she eats the cookies with no idea what will happen next. I love the feeling of uncertainty. It leaves me completely open to the experience.”
