5 Of The Most Spiritual Places To Visit On Earth
Some people are highly religious.
Some people go the other way and are confirmed atheists.
But many people lie somewhere in the middle and are some kind of agnostic.
Being spiritual comes in many forms and you may find the same kind of peace on a wild mountain side that a Christian finds in a church. There are no rules when it comes to how you feel connected to our planet.
I mean how many times have you sat in a Christian church and felt a spiritual calmness even if you’re not a believer? Just think about the hundreds of years of people’s hopes, prayers, dreams, joy, and tears that those building stones have soaked up and it will be no surprise.
If you feel an energy connection to the planet and are seeking a place with a deep spiritual feeling then read on for our top 5 spiritual places on Earth…
1. Sedona, USA
Sedona has been deemed a spiritual place for generations. Native Americans, who have a deep respect for nature, the Earth, and its energy, believe that the veils to other spiritual dimensions are thinner here, making it easier for connections and transformations to happen.
Sedona’s red rock formations, vortex sites, and serene vibe make it a popular destination for those seeking healing, meditation retreats, and a connection with Earth’s spiritual energy.
2. Anglesey (Ynys Môn), England
Anglesey, an island off North Wales, is an ancient landscape filled with ancient Druid sites, Neolithic burial sites, and sacred churches.
Many come from far and wide to walk the lush landscapes and visit sites like Bryn Celli Ddu, a Neolithic burial mound dating back to 3000 BC that features carvings and shows an ancient observance of celestial bodies.
Anglesey was the Druid center of Europe between 100 BC and 60 AD and is still home to the Anglesey Druid Order today. Those wishing to learn more about their ancient rituals can take a course with the group to become part of the Order.
3. Stonehenge, UK
Stonehenge is an ancient monument standing on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire distrusted from large Saracen stones and smaller bluestones.
It is said to have been built by Neolithic and Bronze Age peoples, most likely Druids, for ritual and ceremonial purposes.
Every winter and summer solstice sees a big gathering of all types of people, including modern Druids, Pagans, spiritualists, and others who are interested — all coming to see the sunrise (summer) and set (winter) in perfect alignment with the stones.
4. Varanasi, India
Varanasi in India is one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities and is believed to be the home of Lord Shiva, a major Hindu deity.
The nearby sacred Ganges river and local temples have become a draw for millions of pilgrims and tourists every year who wish to find purification and knowledge in their sacred rituals.
5. Uluru, Australia
Uluru, or Ayers Rock, is a landmark of huge spiritual significance for the Aboriginal people, especially the Anangu people.
The Anangu people believe Uluru to have been created by their ancestors during the Dreamtime, a time when their world was created and shaped, including the land, the people, and their law.
This mythology and spirituality has been passed down through the generations and has become part of their cultural practice.
Uluru is a sacred site that draws people from around the world who are attracted by its energy, but since 2019 it has not been possible to climb it after a ban was put in place to protect the landmark and out of respect for the Anangu people, who hold it sacred.
