Since The Beginning Of Time, People Have Visited Sacred Places For Cure, Inspiration And Direction.

Why is it that people embark on a spiritual journey or spiritual retreats. From ancient stone circles and jungle-tangled pyramids to mountaintop shrines and gothic cathedrals, holy spots lure us with a magical force. Since the start of time spiritual trip has been popular. Men and women have traveled to sacred sites for therapy, encouragement and guidance. Usual western physicians may scoff at ideas that water from holy wells can cure health issues or that ancient megaliths can provide messages from the spirit realm, but the thought of mystical sites has been well-known to various societies for thousands of years.

The most ancient well-known pilgrimage place is Mount Kailash in Tibet, which has long been a holy travel destination for about 15,000 years. Trekking the 32-mile trail around Kailash usually takes approximately three days, at altitudes as high as 18,000 feet. Buddhists claim the ritual circumambulation eliminates the sins of a single life time, and 108 times around the mountain will permit you to get to Nirvana.

South America's most popular holy site, Machu Picchu, is a mountaintop citadel around 60 miles northwest of Cusco in Peru. One can find several hundred stone structures, built on terraces and joined by a maze of stone steps and walkways.

Complemented by the dramatic natural environment, the sense of Machu Picchu is as sacred and motivating as any cathedral. A few structures, such as the Temple of Three Windows, are constructed from massive stone blocks weighing around thirty tons and fitted together with no mortar. It is absolutely incredible to think about how such work could have been done by a said to be "primitive" culture, many people believe to be pre-Incan by thousands of years.

Right now you do not need to go out of North America to look for sites famous for miracles. In Chimayo, New Mexico you will find an adobe chapel where 2,000 devotees congregate every Good Friday, and 300,000 travelers are drawn every year. In a little room at the back of the chapel, also known as the "Room of Miracles," is a hole in the floor in which pilgrims scoop out sand, said to possess therapeutic elements. The room's walls are lined with hundreds of letters and photos from tourists grateful for the treatment they say, they got.

Sedona, Arizona also has been a spiritual travel destination since prehistoric time to the present time. Not just the local Hopi and Navajo, but residents from as far as Central America and Canada travelled there for therapy and learning long before Europeans invaded North America. The spot's spectacularly-shaped red sandstone rocks are presumed to release powerful energy to a certain extent due to their high level of magnetic iron.

Sedona was inhabited by aboriginals from the four holy directions: Athabascans from the North, the Hopi ancestors from the South, Apache from the East, and Yavapai from the West. This appears to be the way with a lot of pilgrimage places. They are at first identified as sites of natural earth energy, then, over time, the land is improved by placing shrines, cathedrals, monoliths, stone circles etc. Through the centuries, as humans gathered to celebrate or worship at the sites, they integrate their own human energies.
