I am truly fortunate to be able to live in the Four Corners area of Southwestern Colorado where there are astounding views. Not only do I see a vast landscape from my deck and also the Four Directions (which aids in my Celtic Shamanism techniques and ceremonies), but I also can see many stars, galaxies, and our Milky Way.<\/p>\n
With the good weather this past month, I took a drive with a friend of mine to the neighboring state of Utah – to the backcountry land near Canyonlands and Glen Canyon area. We were able to find two different spectacular secluded spots for camping – one near the lake and one on the rim of a vast canyon looking East with 360 degree views.<\/p>\n
To connect more deeply with the land, rocks, trees and sky was exhilarating. I felt very grounded as I meditated with the rising sun, nature walked, drummed, and did sacred ceremony along with witnessing awesome sunsets. Nothing could prepare us though for the brilliance of the night sky during a new moon with no heavy town lights around for miles and miles. The Milky Way was vivid and other galaxies felt close along with what looked like a dust storm of stars on the horizon.<\/p>\n
Not only did we feel strongly connected to the cosmos, but we were also truly entertained with the panorama before us and the quality of the deep desert sounds.<\/p>\n
I greatly recommend where ever you are – to get in touch with nature that you have available around you. It will enrich your spirit to no end…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
