Connecting energetically with sacred sites in the world allows you access to their peace and power if you cannot visit.
From time immemorial, the hands of men and women have built sites guided by both the earth’s life force and benevolent beings of light. It is because of this guidance that the sites we deem sacred have long served as repositories of wisdom, energy, and illumination that can be accessed by all. The needs that inspire seekers to converge upon sites known to be sacred vary by individual. Some crave spiritual fulfillment above all else, while others hope to draw upon a site’s energy for the purpose of enlightenment, healing, or deep meditation, awareness and knowledge of information long gone.
Sacred sites can appear insignificant to those who close themselves off from the notion of a living earth. But sites can provide us with a link to a unified consciousness that involves the living and the dead, infinite cultures, the physical plane, and the spiritual world. When we look beyond well-known sites like Stonehenge, we discover energetically active sites such as the Iron Age fogou caves of Cornwall, England, or the pyramids of Meroe in the Sudan. Similarly, it is easy to imagine that hallowed places exist only in remote or exotic locales. Yet many of the most richly vital sites are easily accessible, and visiting these lesser-known sites can be a profoundly moving experience. One such site, Serpent Mound in Ohio, was thought to be created by the ancient Adena peoples nearly 1,000 years ago to align with the summer and winter solstices. Its precise purpose remains unclear, but many who visit the site conclude that it was meant to be a conduit through which cosmic en! ergy could flow into the earth.
The sacred sites that call to you from afar—capturing your imagination and resonating deep within your soul—will nearly always be those that can help you forge a deeper connection with the divine energy that sustains all life. During your pilgrimage, reaffirm your intention to accept whatever gifts are conveyed to you through the sites you visit. Your receptiveness will help you establish lasting relationships with these sites so that you can draw upon their peace and their power from wherever you are.
time keeper,
you post the most interesting stuff. i have been to the mounds in ohio and they are indeed impressive.
in fact, i'd take this article a bit farther and say that many places have an energy foot print. often, i can tell, say from a house, if a lot of good or bad things have happened there.
same here. it's the feelings you get, right?
thanks.... i do try and post things for everyone.
tell me about the mounds.
never seen it
I truly love this post. It's enlightening and true, no matter how you look at it. Some places are sacred for religious reasons and some, as has been said, simply have something about them that makes them special. I also agree that the events which took part inside a place can, at times, have a dramatic effect on the vibes you get from it. For me, all of Greece is sacred, though of course, there are certain parts, like the ancient religious ones, that are more so. From these latter, I might get healing or simply strength from The Gods and from those who made their energetic footprint there, and I intend on going for sure. But there are places there that could touch me in ways that most people could never understand if they visited them. A perfect example is the Markos Vamvakaris museum. This is in Ano Syra, and is the house where he was actually born and where he grew up. Most people would consider it a cool place to visit if they like rebetika. After all, he was famous and made wonderful music. But for me, since he's influenced my life in such profound ways, everything there is sacred. If I could actually go there and touch something that belonged to him or just be in the same places where he went, it would be truly incredible and it would probably restore my faith in humanity for a little while at least. Likewise, if I were able to meet his son, and gods willing she's still living, his wife, it would be a truly magical experience. I'd also love to go to Piraeus, to the places where rebetika, the music itself, evolved and where it's singers and musicians lived and died. Another sacred place for me, and for others I'm sure, is the tomb of the unknown soldier in Syntagma Square, Athens. Here, I'd like to go and give my thanks to all of those who gave their lives for Hellas, who fought and who died without recognition, only this very special place set aside for them. Likewise would be the graves of generals Kolokotronis and Makriyannis, two of the most famous heroes of the War of Independence.
