POWER SITES IN THE USA

MEDICINE WHEEL OVERLOOKING SEDONA [above]- The tremendous power of natural healing and rejuvenation sites in this area is easily absorbed by those visiting for backpacking, spiritual journeys and/or golf. Home of many Native Americans well over ten thousand years ago, you should plan to stay a while once you've found your way to this spot; this is truly one of the spiritual sentries of this continent, the central one is The Grand Canyon. Historically you can begin tracking the tragic 'Trail Of Tears' ~ natural residents were forced from this area to artificial 'reservation' environments in 1875.

CANYON DE CHELLY NATIONAL MONUMENT, ARIZONA - An ancient belief this is, 'where the water comes out of the rock,' thus one of the most important ceremonial sites for Native Americans. Writing and symbols in excellent condition on sandstone columns and cliffs a thousand feet high. Hopi and Navajo believe this is where the Holy Ones instructed people how to live together with Mother Earth using medicine rituals. Legends at every turn, this canyon will capture your imagination so bring plenty of film!

BETATAKIN NAVAJO MONUMENT, Northwest of Canyon de Chelly - Betatakin from the Navajo 'lodge house' ~ one of source for modern day architectural 'earth ships', fulfilling wishes and respecting needs of people and nature in this inspirational blend. Constructed under solid rock overhang on a narrow ledge these dwellings are over 800 feet above the Canyon floor. Permission from State of Arizona required to enter and explore interiors of these homes. This location appears to be a temporary site, inhabited only between 1250 and 1286 A.D.

Healing Site

Mission San Xavier del Bac, situated on an elevation in the Santa Cruz Valley nine miles south of Tucson. Rare and beautiful decorative designs and motifs have been used throughout this historical monument by masters of Spanish colonial baroque architectural art forms. Shrine of pilgrimage throughout the area.  (Construction 1700 A.D.)

POWER SITE
Mt. Shasta-California U.S. Geological Survey: Over the last 10,000 years, Shasta has erupted on average once every 800 years. During the 3,500 years the volcano has erupted about once every 300 years. The most recent eruption may have occurred in 1786 A.D.  Beautiful Picture Postcards of Mt. Shasta.

MUIR WOODS (picture) - The Primary Path wends its way past the Visitor Center just inside the gate. Stay on the main walkway as it passes that Visitor Center exit to the right. Several paces on down will bring you into a worthwhile power space (to the right, about 40 - 50 feet past the fence). You will feel it ahead of time, but dowse for your exact center - there is a feminine vortex, close to it 3 crossing water lines. About a mile further down there are some "off path" sites as well you can enjoy. Bring a camera and sunscreen - you may decide to stay a while!   John Muir Exhibit

 Below is the list of the seven temples in the City of San Francisco, site of an ancient Atlantean city. If you're going to San Francisco, bring your rods and pendulum! Tlamco, the temple city of seven hills which marked the orbits and diameters of the planets while also forming a map of the Pleiades, is modern day San Francisco. Following locations of the original temples are based on the book, YERMAH THE DORADO:

TEMPLE OF THE SUN: Intersection Haight @ Shraeder Streets
TEMPLE OF JUPITER: Lone Mountain (Campus of USF) now there. Site once an observatory.
TEMPLE OF VENUS: Vacinity of Alamo Park (overlooking SF)
TEMPLE OF MARS: Southwest of Lone Mountain
TEMPLE OF SATURN: Buena Vista Park, facing Corona Heights
TEMPLE OF URANUS: Edge of SF Presidio, upper end of Mountain Lake
TEMPLE OF NEPTUNE:  Golden Gate Park, Strawberry Hill *

Over looking the Golden Gate from the Presidio are three hills understood to symbolize and end of the Bridge of Kinvat; the etheric bridge extending from the star Sirius to earth.

WINCHESTER MYSTERY HOUSE  - Victorian home, designed and built by Winchester Rifle heiress Sarah Winchester, will interest dowsers and interior designers alike. Construction was maintained 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for over 38 consecutive years at a total cost of 5.5 Million dollars. She received all her instructions for building plans in the seance room, although the central point of power within the whole house is her bedroom, where she was trapped during the 1906 Earthquake. Legend has it that a psychic advised the most propitious way to quiet the spirits of all those who fell because of the Winchester Rifle, was to continue estate construction nonstop without ever completing it. The Winchester Mystery House.

Take I-280 to San Jose. Take Winchester Blvd. exit (near intersecting Hwy. 17). Specific directions: (408) 247-2000, 525 South Winchester Boulevard, SJ CA 95128   In the early 1960s, the Whaley House in San Diego was designated as haunted by the U.S. Commerce Department. California's only other official haunted home is the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose.   Winchester Mystery House-Ca
 

SULPHUR SPRINGS
There are several sites in Colorado claiming "healing waters", for a variety of reasons. The Ute warriors repaired to these hot waters for centuries. Today the chants and drums of ancient rites performed there are sometimes heard by visitors who go to the more modern pools provided for the general public. Another magical healing resort is MEDICINE FOUNTAINS, today known as MANITOU SPRINGS, that rests at the foot of Pikes Peak. Minerals are so prevalent in these restorative fountains and pools they can be recognized by taste.

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH?   Hot Springs, SD has been appropriately called "The City of Healing Waters". Indians in the Black Hills made use of the warm mineral water springs for various ailments. The control of the springs led to many battles between Indian tribes. Battle Mountain, which rises a thousand feet above the city to the east, was so named because it represents the last point of the struggle between the chiefs of the Sioux and Cheyenne tribes for possession of the marvelous springs. The Indians called one of the important springs, "Minnekahta" the Sioux term for warm water. Another spring was named "Catholicon", taken from the Greek word for universal cure for all.

     Temples and sacred sites provide ideas for home decor, especially our pampering/empowering focalizer zones indoors and out back around the yard. Gordon Orians, a professor at University of Washington [zoology] describes, from his  research work about detail people prefer in their environment, what people notice and consider truly important in their back yard or garden. First, they invariably want some water, and will feel comfortable with the sand garden because it suggests the waves of the ocean moving around large rocks, which are like islands. Some people substitute portable zen gardens or small fountains; they have charm, are small, and able to withstand constant location changes. See U. S. Capitol architect, Unicorn Garden, and Fountain and Shrine.
