The first Temple I visited in Egypt was at Luxor, at sunrise on our first day. The Avenue of Sphynxes stretched out behind us, originally as far as Karnak, as we stood to take in the Obelisks and huge statues that faced us.
The peace, the serenity that I felt as I wandered around the temple were so intense that now, just writing about it, I feel its warmth embrace me. Travelling as a group organised by Sacred Ventures, there were many opportunities for meditation and attunement, and our first took place almost upon arrival at the temple. We all stood in a circle, eyes closed, and started to tone in unison.
As a channel of Pure Consciousness through sound, I was soon at one with the group and with the place, as we toned together. This set an energy that remained with us through the week, a bathing in sound which was cleansing, healing and liberating We moved through the complex in our own time, reuniting periodically for further meditations.
The pictures on the walls were stunning; I had never before considered their size, or their textures; they were huge! Towards the back there is a "Birthing Room," which was another place we felt an urge to share some very powerful toning, clearing our energy fields for the process that would last the week. Visiting such sacred places leads to great changes within; at the end of any day we are a different person to the one we were at the start, but visiting these energy sites accelerates our journeys of growth, causing profound and wonderful shifts of consciousness.
