Visiting Sacred Sites

[Visiting Sacred Sites]( Visiting a sacred site can be a useful tool to open something within you that has remained inaccessible. From time immemorial, humans 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. What inspires us to visit sacred sites varies. Some crave spiritual fulfillment above all else, while others hope to draw upon a site’s energy for enlightenment, healing, deep meditation, and even awareness or 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 Halliggye Fogou caves of Cornwall, England, or the pyramids of Meroe in Sudan. It is also easy to imagine that hallowed places exist only in remote or exotic locales. Yet many of the most 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 energy 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 power from wherever you are.  [PRINT](  [SAVE](  [DISCUSS](  --------------------------------------------------------------- DailyOM Course Spotlight [Guided Relaxation With Ocean Sounds]( by Nuria Reed In this 7-day course, you’ll go on a blissful journey with meditation and yoga expert Nuria Reed.
