Earth Energies Naturally!

Plotting energy lines without dowsing equipment might appear to be a very radical approach to the art.  Not so! Dowsers of a previous generation used to find water simply by walking over a piece of land until they felt the right vibration in the ground beneath them.

It seems that for those who constructed them, the site of a megalithic monument was determined by the energies present in the earth. Given that Neolithic sites are now several thousand years old, the terrestrial resonances are still present, often giving us a maze of energy lines to detect. It is wonderful to know that the forces felt thousands of years ago at a sacred site are the same as those we can detect in the twenty-first century.  This fact makes rather a nonsense of any concept of linear time.

The constituent minerals of the stones, usually quartz, amplified their energy.  Rituals enacted within a stone circle would then intensify that force.  Such ceremonies would probably occur at times in the solar and lunar year when the Earth’s ‘bio-rhythms’ were at their strongest. Thus energy points and energy lines at the site would be constantly reinforced.  It would seem apparent that a combination of male and female energies at a site would produce the most potent vibration there. To specifically detect male or female energies at a sacred site, the motto seems to be - each to his own! 

So acute is our facility for detecting these energies that it is possible, by even a slight change of the position of the hands or the feet, to feel them acutely.  The body, as well as reflecting our subconscious is capable of echoing the environment we are in.  If a receptive state is encouraged, healing and enlightenment will enter our very deepest being. By letting nature enter into our physical selves we become whole as human beings. 

In their art and their thinking the Celts promoted animism, the notion that every manifestation of life was connected to every other.  Thus men became animals which became trees, or birds became stars, and fishes transformed into rivers and so on.  This sense of a multi-layered existence within a scared site gives each stone a presence, a mood, even a musical tone.  That singular persona will interact with anyone who encounters it, and no two people’s reactions will be the same.

From their inception the purpose of sacred sites was always to enlighten and to heal.  By tuning into these energies now we experience what the ancients intended.  In doing so we pay tribute to their wisdom and show respect for their beliefs.  It becomes more and more apparent that the ancestors were often wiser and more understanding than modern man.  We still have much to learn from them.
