From The Start Of Time, Men And Women Have Traveled To Sacred Places For Healing, Motivation And Direction.

Why is it that people go on a spiritual journey or spiritual retreats. From age-old stone circles and jungle-tangled pyramids to gothic cathedrals and mountaintop shrines, venerated sites captivate us with a mystical power. Since the start of time spiritual travel has been well-known. People have gone to sacred sites for cure, motivation and direction. Mainstream western doctors may scoff at suggestions that water from holy wells can put a stop to illnesses or that ancient megaliths can transport messages from the spirit realm, but the idea of magical places has been known to a lot of cultures for hundreds and hundreds of years.

The oldest renowned pilgrimage spot is Mount Kailash in Tibet, which continues to be a sacred travel destination for an incomprehensible 15,000 years. Walking the 32-mile trail around Kailash normally takes around three days, at altitudes as elevated as 18,000 feet. Buddhists say the ritual circumambulation removes the sins of a life time, and 108 times around Mount Kailash will enable you to reach Nirvana.

South America's most well-known sacred spot, Machu Picchu, is a mountaintop citadel about 60 miles northwest of Cusco in Peru. One can find several hundred stone structures, constructed on terraces and connected by a maze of stone steps and walkways.

Enhanced by the breathtaking natural surroundings, the mood of Machu Picchu is as mystical and inspiring as any cathedral. A number of buildings, such as the Temple of Three Windows, are built from huge stone blocks that weigh up to thirty tons and fitted together with no mortar. It is absolutely mind-blowing to contemplate how such construction could have been accomplished by a so called "primitive" culture, many believe to be pre-Incan by centuries.

Today you do not need to get out of North America to visit places known for miracles. In Chimayo, New Mexico there exists an adobe chapel where 2,000 believers gather each Good Friday, and 300,000 tourists are drawn every year. In a mini room behind the chapel, referred to as the "Room of Miracles," is a hole in the floor whereby visitors scoop out sand, believed to have healing components. The room walls are coated with hundreds of letters and pictures from visitors appreciative for the healing they declare, they received.

Sedona, Arizona also has been a spiritual journey destination since ancient times to the present time. Not only the area's Hopi and Navajo, but natives from as far as Central America and Canada travelled there for treatment and learning long before Europeans conquered North America. The location's dramatically-shaped red sandstone rocks are claimed to give off magical energy partly as a result of their high level of magnetic iron.

Sedona was inhabited by natives from the four sacred directions: Apache from the East, the ancestors of the Hopi from the South, Yavapai from the West and Athabascans from the North. This turns out to be the way with many spiritual travel sites. They are in the beginning identified as sites of natural earth energy, then, in the long run, the land is enhanced by adding monoliths, stone circles, shrines, cathedrals etc. As centuries passed, as men and women grouped to celebrate or worship at the places, they bring in their own human energies.
