Earth Chakras are the Most Energetic Places in the World
These days it seems like any style of travel is possible - and trendy. While classics like adventure holidays and meditation retreats still dominate the travel scene, more of what you might call offbeat options have recently grown in popularity. (Ahem, shark tourism.) But even with this endless menu of options, would it surprise you if we suggested a vacay based on energy? The energy of Earth Chakras to be specific.
BUT WHAT EXACTLY IS AN EARTH CHAKRA?
On a scientific level, Earth Chakras are a form of vortex. Simply put, a vortex is created by the spiraling motion of air or liquid that creates daily occurrences like tornadoes, hurricanes, and whirlpools. But in the case of Earth Chakras, we’re talking about energetic spirals - clusters of energy that move in and out of the earth in specific geographic hotspots around the globe. Aptly named, Earth Chakras are conceptually similar to the 7 chakras of the human body. Just as our bodies have energy running through them, presumably so too does the earth. And according to vortex pros, the earth's chakras are incredibly powerful. So powerful in fact, that you can actually feel them. And this visceral phenomenon is what gives vortexes quite the reputation among spiritualists and healers.
WHERE CAN I FIND EARTH CHAKRAS?
Although Earth Chakras didn’t gain household popularity until the metaphysical movement of the late 1970s, their history hardly begins there. Dating back thousands of years, various ancient civilizations seem to have revered the power of earth’s energy. We know this because vortices are home to some of the world’s most sacred sites. Structures like the ancient pyramids of Giza, Machu Pichu, and Stonehenge are all widely recognized energetic hotspots. And while there’s obviously a correlation between the sacredness of these ancient places and the energy that powers them - what about their geographic significance?For starters, the three locations listed above sit on very different corners of the globe. So what, if anything, could be the root of their energetic similarities? The answer may lie in understanding something called Ley Lines. Ley lines are in many ways like the veins of the earth - powerful electrical currents that snake their way around the globe, leaving in their path the high-charged clusters of energy we know as Earth Chakras. When placed on a map, you’ll see dozens of the world’s most sacred monuments, temples, and natural wonders along the routes and intersections of the Ley Lines. Places like Uluru in Northern Territory Australia, the Great Pyramid in Jerusalem, and Lake Titicaca in Peru and Bolivia are all located at the super-charged crossings of Ley Lines. Meanwhile, dozens of others like Sedona, Arizona, Kauai, Hawaii, and Mount Fuji, Japan lie along their path.
HIGH VIBE GEOLOGY AND HEALING PROPERTIES
But if Ley lines are a tad woo woo for your tastes, here are some shall we say, more science-y(?) theories to explain earth’s energy. For starters, geology could be playing a major role. Sedona, for example, is home to a whole lot of iron oxide and quartz - minerals shown by research to create measurable outflows of magnetic charge. (This type of mineral energy is used practically in holistic fields such as reiki and crystal healing.) What’s more, physical geologic structures in these areas like faults and igneous intrusions produce their own energy field anomalies within the earth.Vortex experts have no doubts that these high energy locales are capable of inciting transformative experiences in those who visit. But even if you've got some skepticism, it’s worth a try - especially if you're in need of restorative travel. Take a trip to Sedona, AZ for healing therapies like bodywork, yoga, and spiritual counseling. Or, expand your consciousness at Mount Fuji with a meditation retreat. Even if “high vibe energy” isn’t traditionally on your list of vacation requirements, planning a vortex trip could be a great way to try something a little less traditional. After all, an Earth Chakra vacay might be just the dose of metaphysical you didn’t know you needed.
