Spiritual Pilgrimages
A spiritual pilgrimage is a sacred walk across our mother earth. In this pilgrimage we have a focus to reconnect with our mother, and discover a little part of her mysteries. There are so many parts to her, so many ecosystems. If we could walk our life everyday we still wouldn't fully understand the earth's beauty, immensity and purpose to the depths that things are happening. We could walk the same trail over and over and continue to discover new things.
For the indigenous people, the earth people, there are certain places on mother earth that are sacred. It is unmistakable. You feel the energies, you feel their beauty, the awe, the memories that they hold. These spiritual pilgrimages will allow you to discover these beautiful places: springs, caves, a quiet cove on the lake, the top of the volcanoes, the mountains, where the river meets the oceans.
Not only are we witnessing these amazing natural things, we will also be witnessing a growth inside of us. These sacred sites are challenging. We will get tired, and sleepy. We get too hot, or too cold. Something always happens. Physically, and mentally it will be a joy but it is also a challenge. These challenges create character. It creates a strength and feeling that you can do what you set out to do and that here, in nature, is where you belong. At the same time it teaches us to be humble and respectful, because even with our achievements there are things that we still won't understand. Its puts us into a perspective where we see how little we are in comparison to the immensity of our mother. That we are a part of her, and we need her more than she needs us.
In our sacred pilgrimages we have a focus to go there and meet the supernatural forces, and spiritual beings that are the caretakers of these sacred sites. The Maya have meet the supernatural beings that dwell in these places: spirits of the waters, spirits of the mountain, spirit of that area. The hidden secrets that nature holds maybe revealed to us if we have a spiritual focus, and we allow ourselves to be open. With that revelation, we begin to understand a little bit more the workings of earth, spirit, and the other elementals.
We bring offerings to these beings. For the Maya, we bring the sacred fire and make our offerings through the fire. We understand that through the fire we can open stargates, energetic portals to the different dimensions. Thats how nature talks to each other, through energy, through sound, and the exchange of the opposites. Breath in of one will meet the breath out of the other. The ebb and flow of the waters. The winds come and they go. Everything is doing something all the time. The energy is traveling between these opposites, and touches the energetic zenith. This zenith, the Maya recognize it as the 'zero point'. The connection to the spiritual world is created with the frequency of the zero. In practice, it means that we are supposed to be in our spiritual center, and focus.
We bring our offering and intention to connect. We sit by the cliff. To sit right at the edge of the cliff for days you begin wondering when you will begin to fall. You see down and you begin to finally feel the depth of that cliff. If you're at the edge of the lake, you start traveling through the water down to the mysteries that are hidden there. We start understanding the power that is there in these places. We stand at the zero point and witness the interaction between these forces. There we learn, we shape and mold ourselves. We mature. We start recognizing the power of nature and begin to be in spiritual connection to our world, and our universe. We go to the spiritual pilgrimage to build that relationship.
