Power Points

Power Points are areas where the physical, third-dimensional and ordinary realities meet with the spiritual, multidimensional or non-ordinary realities. Power points play various functions. and most of them operate as gateways or gaps in or out of our perception of this world. Some power points were created or promoted by ancient cultures; or were the manifestation of events caused by nature spirits, multidimensional or unseen beings, while some are the result of recent human actions, which may either reactivate previous power points or create new ones. In the latter respect during your life you may already have given a most valuable contribution, whether you are aware of it or not.

Power points can be broadly divided into three categories: 

Known power points: public spaces and holy sites used to perform rituals or sacred activities, for example temples, churches, chapels, dolmens, menhirs, stone circles, etc. All human traditions have sacred sites and ceremonial lands. Some of them are widely known, at least in the local environment, others are less known, as they have not been attended for ages or are only visited by few people. Others are basically unknown and belong to the following category. 

Castel del Monte (Apulia, Italy)

Unknown power points: you may discover these places “by chance” or intuitively. Some common phenomena that may occur in such places are: feelings of unity with the environment, calmness and slowing down of time, expansion of the aura or a sense of embracement by some larger presence, altered states of perception, loss of identification with the ego. Also the feeling of being observed by somebody as you walk, for example, in a wood or by a river can often indicate that you are in a sacred site. 

New Power Points: these are places that shamans, healers and devoted seekers have chosen for their healing work. For example, any place where regular and significant healing practices, such as the Basic Ritual of the Sacred Cone, have been held for a certain amount of time, especially if involving other people, may become a new power point. 

Please be aware that these three categories are not absolute and may blend in many circumstances.
