| DRAWING OUT
THE ENERGY |
| So what is the significance of a place that is
an energy vortex? Ancient people made pilgrimages
to locations such as these because they believed
them to be sacred sites. These early people
would come to such places to do ceremonies
and ask for healing. Over the centuries, knowledge
of the sites was passed down from generation
to generation. In Native American cultures
these places were in the care of medicine
men. Many of the ceremonies performed in such
energy vortexes involved calling on the four
elements – Earth, Fire, Water and Air.
The medicine people knew that communion with
the elements held the power to bring forth
healing. |
| What can you, as an individual expect when you
enter into an energy vortex? If you hope to
derive the fullest possible benefit from the
energies, you must concentrate your awareness,
quiet your mind, and tune your entire being
to the energy broadcast from the power point.
Here we have the unique ability with the natural
hot waters to immerse ourselves in a pool
or whirlpool hot tub and have full communion
with one of the powers directly. In general,
people are drawn to energy vortexes and power
spots in search of enlightenment and inner
peace; they are attracted by the invisible
force and its therapeutic effects. |
| As mentioned earlier, there are positive and
negative energy vortexes and Desert Hot Springs
is on a positive vortex. Vortexes are like
a magnet in the sense that one end is positive
and the other negative. The negative side
of the energy vortex in this area is located
in the vicinity of Palm Drive and Interstate
10. If you drive that route regularly you
may notice that there is almost always a car
broken down along the road. This is because
machines in marginal running condition will
fail when passing through a negative energy
vortex. Negative vortexes dissipate energy,
so if your car is already not running very
well, it's best to pass through these areas
as quickly as possible. |
| GEOLOGY
AND ENERGY |
| In 1999 Sandy Jack, a geologist and geophysicist
with GEOVision, was in Desert Hot Springs
with a large drilling rig to take core samples
for a seismic research study relating to the
special geology in Desert Hot Springs. |
| Jack's team drilled to depths as far down as 330
feet, using special electronic imaging equipment
to chart the geological patterns surrounding
the core-drilling hole. The results indicated
that the geology is composed of sand, similar
to the top surface sand, all the way down
to the 330-foot level where they hit the water
table. Jack noted an interesting fact about
the geology of the area; there is a low gravitational
field due to there being mostly sand under
the terrain. Rock under the area would have
produced a higher gravitational field. |
| This phenomenon adds another interesting dimension
to Desert Hot Springs' energy vortex. I'm
not sure at this time what interpretation
to make about this, but we can rest assured
that in Desert Hot Springs we should all walk
with a lighter step! |
| So, during your next visit to Desert Hot Springs,
don't forget about the Earth's powers –
bathe in the natural waters, take a hike in
the mountains, lean into the therapeutic breeze
and soak up the sun's energy. |
