A place to be.. temple/monastery/retreat center

Dream Seeds fields :slight_smile: (as a quick solution)

I don’t know places there, and won’t recommend in Europe since the US (and Canada that is pretty close) is big enough to have many great places.

I’d recommend against staying in Sedona a long time for reasons everyone knows.

But there are plenty of people from the US here so I hope you get your answer.

And if fields will be used, there is Sanctuary, Ocean Room…and one I forgot which basically was to incline your life to one where you’d mostly live in nature. I forgot the name for that one. But I think it did both, enhance the environment energy and push you to such places.

Also think of unconventional places, like museums or military memorials.

At the risk of asking you to say things that you might not want to say, maybe I have been living under a rock for a while, however may I please ask the reasons that “everyone knows” please?

Commercialised pseudo-spiritual culture? Overt attention from alphabet agency operatives? Non-beneficial energies? Elevated personal safety risk?

Thanks for any information that anyone is willing to provide.

It has some interesting effects to be there long-term. Native americans used to say the place is healing. You go there when you need healing, then you leave. Staying can make you crazy.

Pseudo-spiritual culture isn’t a problem. The people are though.

Other effects include a synchronization between people. People staying in places there, would all get synchronized in moods. At some point, the madness hits, and it hits everyone. Major drama ensues.

I haven’t been there though, but if I went, I’d keep this in mind. To not think I’m going crazy.

The warnings are there though, by some people. Others don’t issue such warnings. Those others I don’t see as stable nor would I want to end up like them.

I don’t know about the other stuff. I was just talking about the energies. Which aren’t bad in themselves. You just have to watch for possible negative effects if staying too long.

There are like two different portals for Sedona I believe…there wouldn’t be if they weren’t beneficial in some way.

To be honest I’m sure some groups there operate just like a sect. So yeah, if you’re going to join them, you’re at high risk of psychological damage, to say the least.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

To be clearer I was hoping for a more physical interface. Like maybe a name where people already are or at least a geographic location. Earthbound of course.

Europe has actually been on my mind and I know there are of places that have deeper historical roots and traditions. Personally its a part of the world I haven’t spent much time in and there’s potentially a lot to unravel, especially with all the cultures and histories involved. US just might be a little more convenient and familiar.

Thanks for the asking and the sharing about Sedona.

I’ve passed through there and I found it kind of like a tourist attraction and very commercialized. The vortices are there and there is energy and healing and such, but there’s a lot of other mess. All sorts of people coming and going for different reasons and intentions. The people that habitate have their own interests and energetically it could be a bit noisy.

Could you a share a little about your views here?

Interesting. I wonder if this is a more general truth about healing/sacred sites.

Found this about several tourists’ experiences

In my experience with healing/sacred sites there are layers. There’s also something like lateral & vertical connectedness.

The lateral part is how connected, e.g. harmonized, in sync, over lapping, etc with the people that have stayed and continue to stay onsite.
The vertical is kind of like how deep, intimate, closeness.
Initially I was thinking of people but both can very much apply to the site: e.g. land, history, tales, spirits, what ever is tied to the energy and consciousness.

The layers can be described as stages, and how deep in the healing one is willing or able to go.

Initially it can feel like relief or lessening. An analogy could be like the physical cleaning of a body. If you take a shower or bathe that could feel kind of nice and refreshing. If you soak in a hot tub, dip in icy water, mud bathe, those could have stronger effects. Could imagine water that’s rich in minerals or is pristine and not really touched by human influence.
Going down a further layer, imagine taking a substance like ayahuasca, psilocybin, or pure tobacco. There’s greater purging and cleansing of the body.

Staying longer at a healing site can very good early on. The changes come easier, it feels good, and the people around you either share in a similar experience or can notice it without being caught up in it.
Ayahuasca, psilocybin, or pure tobacco have traditionally been done in ceremonies with shamans or at least some sort of guide to navigate the process, and for sanity as well.

If you’re going deeper in the healing at a site, it becomes a lot more personal and individualized. Like experiences that other people may not be able to relate to or even be able to perceive what is/was wrong. It can be seen as negative, and not something to get involved in. Reduced to labels of crazy or madness.
If you’re going deeper solo, without guidance, it may be difficult to figure out what you need to do, how to manage it, and what the outcome will be.
Whatever is coming to the surface can spread to others, and each person or the culture has their own ways of how they are going to react/respond. This of course goes both ways, how you are going to interact with someone/group doing their own deeper healing in the same general place.

If at a healing site, e.g. with strong energies, the healing is going to come. The last time I went through it the stages were like waves of an ocean. Didn’t really know how much or how little was coming at once, and then the experience of that wave suddenly coming down.

Anyway people have variations with how they process or behave with healing, as well as what they’re able or willing to experience.

I tried the Precambrian Era Time Portal yesterday.
Feels like a great place to retreat, at least energetically.
It feels very peaceful and isolated there.

Alternatively you can try the Portal to Mars.

I am suggesting these portals to other eras and planets because I don’t think there are any places on physical Earth, and especially with human made temples or monasterys, where one can find peace from human stuff and similar energies. Earth is a low vibe planet in general, regardless of where you go, at least in our geological Era (my personal opinion).

Therefore, I would straight up look for other planets and higher astral realms (like Vaikuntha Loka for example) where finding peace is much more likely and thus better for contemplation.

As soon as I opened the website I was reminded of Mahadeva. Then I read what it was about.

Just emailed them.

Seems like a good spot. Thanks for the suggestion :+1:

Thanks for the further personalized suggestions from Dream seeds. I actually haven’t tried those two yet. I may do so when the timing feels right.

I’ve read some of your related comments before and get the impression that you’re not the biggest fan of recent earth and some of the people here. From what I understand I can see overlaps in opinion, especially if comparing to other planets or energies.

There’s potentially a lot of work to raise the vibration here, and restore much of the earth’s natural beauty, especially from previous eras.

I’ve been fortunate to have visited remote areas of earth, and little pockets hidden in plain sight that are rather pure; at least relative to having no to few humans or human related products enter the area. The energy and pristineness can be quite noticeable in comparison.

I guess I’m looking to align with such areas of natural splendor, with at least a few people who have done so or are intending to do the same.

I really do appreciate your suggestion about other planets or higher astral realms in relation to peace. It’s quite reasonable. Personally there’s something about being physically here though, connecting restoring, preserving. There are all these other sorts of planets and dimensions we could place our attention on, believe to have originated from, but for whatever the narrative, we’re probably reading this from an earth-based plane. Maybe there’s a reason why, maybe there isn’t. But there’s a choice to continue to be/do something here, or somewhere else.

Sri Lanka is a magical place. I spent a month there in '07 touring the ancient capitals and temples. The island is beautiful and mysterious, full of power and Buddha statues everywhere. One memory I will never forget is walking through a forested area to a Samadhi Buddha and a snake, an asp, with it’s head and front third raised vertically, the remainder rhythmically swishing along the ground propelling it very fast from left to right across my path, a few feet in front of me as I approached the statue. I was rather humbled by this awe-inspiring sight and auspicious omen.

I could write pages about the mystical occurrences, the wonderful people, the beautiful countryside, the way the ancient stones speak, the states of raised consciousness I found myself moving into effortlessly at many places, the land of rich contrasts and varied experiences… nevertheless… like many of the wonderful suggestions on this thread, wherever you go has to be your decision, for your reasons. It is your path and I think that you’ll find whatever destination that you choose will be far more meaningful to you than a destination that was suggested by others.

If you are fortunate enough to live near the sea, may I suggest a moving meditation, a long walk on the shore between high and low watermarks, that area is not exactly water and it’s not exactly land, it is both and changing constantly. Think of the possibilities during you walk, think what you really want to feel and experience, and perhaps inspiration will strike you? You’ll know when you know, and in the meantime it is a luxury to examine all the possibilities.

Very best of luck to you!

Thanks for suggesting a place.

I think a location where there is a temple/monastery/retreat center would narrow down the focus.

If anyone who reads can host or make a referral, that could be quite helpful.

Wanted to share a little update.

I exchanged a few emails and spoke with the folks at Mount Soma. There was an opportunity to work and live there. Personally there were some social conditions that I don’t think I could meet, and decided not to move forward. It’s a small operation and the land seems really good.

I spoke with another place but there’s a religious requirement/path and it’s not paid. Good location though. A little up in the air on my end.

@owl I didn’t comment before but thank you for sharing the Isha Institute. When I opened the page it didn’t seem right for me and there wasn’t much to be said.

More of my mind is looking toward Europe. Initially I was thinking of a stepping stone in the US; there have been so many little unexpected and life changing energetic experiences these past few weeks, so I’m also a little recalibrating. Also found some temporary solutions for some ongoing issues I had been having, which created space to realize better approaches n changes, along with better opportunities/alignment.
