What is sacredness ?
"Sacred space" can be found in
Nature, our loved ones, in buildings we create, in our hearts,
and in our being.
We each create sacredness to the degree to which we each project our
energy of intention of unconditional giving, honouring, caring and loving to something
...
How much are you for-giving ?
We have choice to intend to create sacredness .... or for our
energy to go elsewhere.
Where are the 50,000* or more thoughts (conscious and
sub-conscious) you have every day going ?
The recent history of humanity has been to reject much of the
sacredness of Nature ..... creating dis-harmony (dis-ease) in people and communities.
Disturbances of subtle Earth energies also creates dis-harmony.
Johannesburg South Africa is likely a prime example of this due
to disrespectful and extensive gold mining, which has altered subtle balancing
natural earth energies and altered harmonic resonant frequencies.
Re-Creating the sacredness of our environment is the remedy
to dis-ease.
Why create sacred environments ? .... because this is where harmony,
love & peace is found.
Indigenous people created sacred environments (which most people
now take for granted if they are recognized at all) by on-going
reverent direction of energy of intention and caring.
Creation of Peace & Harmony in Your Environment is your
ability .... and most effective in synchronistic co-operation
with like minded beings.
How you respond to your ability is your choice - You create
your experiences.

What Makes a Place Sacred
- from "The Power of Place" by Thomas
Bender
"All places live through the reverence with which we hold them.
Without that reverence, they crumble to pieces, unloved,
unmaintained, abandoned, and destroyed."
"In the end, all that really matters is that we approach wherever
we live with full attention and an open heart. We must let our
hearts guide us in deciding how we will inhabit that place."

If considering entering sacred natural sites .....
Some places on the earth have powerful energies and have been
known to create illness and death. There are many stories of this
occurring. If you are not clear about what you are doing,
understand these risks.
Be aware (recognize), respectful, responsible and response-able.
If you are not clear & grounded, and coming from a space of
respect & love, don't do it.
Like any new relationship, an
introduction is often the best option.
If unavailable, the
following may help.
On approaching Sacred Places, David Mowaljarlai, one of Australia's
most respected Aboriginal elders would stand back from the place
and communicate with the spirits of the place by announcing his
name, place of origin, and that of the group, and the intention
in being at the site.
This is a sign of respect, and has the advantage of being likely
to win the greatest co-operation. Remember your intention to
respect, show gratitude & create greater harmony is what is
important.
An example from David Mowaljarlai goes like this .....
"Hello spirits of this place, I am ........ and I bring
......... with me. We come from ...... to see you.
Please accept us so we can understand you and learn from you.
Thank you for taking care of this place. We thank the spirits of
this place." He would then wait to sense a response.
Be aware with all your senses of the response you get. Remember
that the spirits of the place may not want you there, or some
members of the group. Are your intentions aligned ? If a men's or
women's site, opposite genders may likely not be welcome. If your
intention is to build relationship and communication with the place, or anybody,
understand and respect the subtle energies there.

* it is estimated humans have between 50,000-90,000 thoughts
per day (Deepak Chopra).
These create our beliefs and experiences, and many are destructive. See
