Chakras & Vortexes
of Mother Earth

There
are sacred spots all over Mother Earth; in fact, all of her is
sacred. Just like our bodies and the energies surrounding them,
Mother Earth has an aura, too.
The first layer
of aura that surrounds our physical body is called the etheric
body. This layer looks like cross-hatching or like a tightly
woven web all around our form.
The etheric body
is like a template or blueprint of the physical form; it holds
all the information about how to make the physical body during
this lifetime. Lodged within the etheric body, on the front and
back, are seven major chakras, or power stations, that convert
prana, the energy surrounding us, into energy that our bodies
can eventually use. The Far Eastern religions all know about
these energy-converting centers. In fact, the acupuncture system
recognizes not only the major chakra centers but also the
secondary ones. Our etheric bodies are like electric grids
filled with power stations that are constantly sucking in prana.
The chakras have propeller-like blades, or petals, that whirl
and turn either clockwise or counterclockwise. The movement of
these blades stirs up the River of Life (the cosmic soup, if you
will), and the sub-molecular particles are drawn into the
chakras where translation and change take place.
Energy can be
changed but it can never be destroyed, and the duty of the
chakras is to create a transformative process that can feed not
only the physical body through the endocrine glands and the
nerves but also the rest of the layers of the aura. The whirling
motion creates a vortex of energy. The smaller chakras are
located on the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, the
knees, the shoulders and so forth, and they whirl and turn, too.
So the human body is literally a walking vortex of sorts.
Mother Earth,
similarly, has an etheric body around her that acts as a layer
of protection. However, at her North and South Poles, there are
now holes in her etheric body that have been caused by humans.
We too can get holes or tears in the etheric body, which then
leaks and bleeds us of the vital life-force energy by which good
health is maintained and harmony is kept in place. People who
are alcoholics or drug-users often have an etheric body that
literally looks like someone has taken a shotgun to it; the
etheric body looks like a sieve.
Mother Earth has
a major chakra system as well as a secondary system, just as we
do. Each one is a whirling vortex spinning either clockwise or
counterclockwise. She has an energy grid system that dowsers and
other sensitive people can feel. Sometimes people can locate
such an area by using a pendulum.
Ancient
cultures, because the people were right-brained (that is to say,
they were in touch with their intuition and their
psychic/clairvoyant abilities and were believers in many aspects
of metaphysics), often built their sacred temples on these Earth
chakras in order to take advantage of the spiraling energy that
reached skyward toward the cosmos or toward their goddesses and
gods.
As times changed
and one civilization fell to another, new temples or structures
were built on these sites. Those who knew and understood the
energies utilized them. Those who didn't would always come away
from these sites feeling better somehow, inexplicably uplifted
or perhaps healed on some level.
Christianity
might pooh-pooh metaphysics, but the founders built their mighty
religious centers right on the same sites that other ancient
civilizations had used for their temples! At the highest levels,
especially in the Catholic Church, the leaders knew about these
sites -- what they were and how they operated. That is why so
many of the beautiful European abbeys and churches, such as
Chartres in France, feel so powerful. People feel moved when
they enter these structures, but what they're really feeling is
the power and energy of the chakra, moving and transforming the
cosmic energy into another form that Mother Earth can digest and
utilize. This is not to say that the power of people's prayers
aren't present in those churches, because they are; they have a
power of their own. But it can't match the power of one of these
vortexes.
The Druids had,
perhaps, the most far-reaching and profound effects in working
with Mother Earth's chakras. The priestesses and priests
maintained the Mother Goddess worship, which included the
caretaking of Mother Earth, for thousands of years. They were a
living bridge between the old goddess religions and
Christianity, carrying it forward despite the rise of patriarchy
and the worship of male deities.
The Druids did
something very special all over Europe, North America, and South
America: they not only searched out and found many of the
chakras of Mother Earth, they also created web-like lines of
energy that would flow between these points across the globe to
move energy and to keep our Mother in harmony and balance.
Druids sailed
across the Atlantic. They met and taught the wise women and men
of Turtle Island (North America). There they worked with the
mound builders in the Mississippi Valley to create a series of
temple mounds that were located on Earth chakras in order to
keep those vortexes healthy and sound. These mounds extend from
the Great Lakes all the way down toward Mexico. One of the
greatest and most important of these mounds, called the Great
Serpent Mound, is found in southern Ohio. If you ever have a
question about what a vortex is, go visit this one. I guarantee
it will change your life, blast open your closed chakras, and
set you right with yourself. Those in the know always go to this
mound for the solstice and equinox ceremonies --and they are
Native Americans, Wiccans, and holy people from South America.
The mounds are a
line of transmitter stations, which keep a very important
north-south energy running at all times. If you draw a line down
through Mexico and into South America, you will find that major
Mayan, Aztec, and Incan pyramids were placed over these vortex
points, too. Further, the Nazca Plain of Peru was, and is, a
major beacon point/vortex for outer-space traffic to hone in on
in order to find Mother Earth.
The powerful
grid running north-south in this region isn't the only one. The
Druids worked with peoples of all tribes and nations around the
world, creating stone circles to denote places of power or
vortex energy. That is not to say that peoples of other nations,
particularly those who were close to the Mother anyway, didn't
already know about these sites. They did. They erected their own
kinds of ceremonial altars or stone circles to indicate sacred
sites.
There are other
places on Mother Earth that are extremely powerful but have no
indicator such as a church, a stone circle, or anything else to
bring our attention to them. The Native Americans would often
disguise a site by not putting any indicator on the area. They
knew most Anglos would never feel the energy, so they would not
violate the site.
