Some spiritual traditions describe the Earth as having energy centres, similar to the chakras of the body, connected by “ley lines”. Ley lines were first described in the 1920s as apparent alignments between ancient sites in Britain. These ideas aren’t supported by geology or physics, but many people enjoy them as a way of feeling connected to special places.

Places can feel meaningful

Mountains, lakes, old buildings and sacred sites can stir feelings of awe. A place can matter because of its beauty, its history or the memories you have there.

Respect for sacred sites

Many places linked with earth energies are sacred to local communities. Visiting with respect is important.

You don’t need to travel far

A local park, a favourite tree or your own garden can be a place of peace.

Walking as a practice

A slow, mindful walk can help you feel connected to the land around you.

How little is enough

Today, visit a place near you that feels peaceful, and spend a few minutes there.
