what's the most spiritual place you've ever visited?

I'm not just talking about typically spiritual like some church but a place that you were truly moved by the god(dess). For me, two places: Sedona AZ and Lourdes, France. Had fantastic spiritual experiences there.

 

The nearest national park. I followed a trail, and for a little bit left it (still don't know why, and don't question it), and found a shallow place in a stream. I can sit on a dry rock right in the middle and watch the minnows, listen to the water and woods, and just BE. Wonderful place.

 

This past summer I had the wonderful experiance of going to Stonehenge and I must say, it was by far the most spiritual place I've ever been to. The energy there was so beautifully soothing. I could have stayed there all day.

 

the otherworld.

 

a small cathedral somewhere in Cuernavaca mexico..... a poor, run down, and ancient place.

it rejuvinated my spiritual awareness in a sense..

kindof ironic too seeing that we had just come from one of the biggest cathedrals in mexico, having found among the thousand dollar statues no spiritual presence at all

 

the magic meadow on top of mount overlook at woodstock. maybe not the "most spiritual" but i miss it, and it calls to me sometimes.

the stone circle at four quarters farms in artemis, pa, was pretty impressive.

and of course there's the starwood bonfire, which can be spiritual if you let it, but at the very least is just cool!

 

right on... lost my map to there.

 

The woods across the road, especially when my dad was still able to walk back there.

 

When I was about 6 or 7 I lived next to this woodsy area in washington. I'm a buddhist and don't believe in any god but it was beautiful and untouched. That was probably the first time I was ever moved by nature.

 

This Native American landmark near me called Devil's Courthouse. It was fascinating and I could feel intense spiritual energies there.

 

you say spiritual...i have been to thise one place...I was not a nice place(feeling) it felt like so much evil that i was scared when i was there and scared to ever return...I don't remember where it was though..i haven't been back..and it was a while ago..

 

right here in the mountains of East Tennessee. There's a reason this is called the buckle of the bible belt, people feel a really strong connection to the Divine here, those that don't understand it, leave.

 

Varanasi in India.

 

Those that don't understand it leave? That's an interesting take on Divinity, I suppose.
This is an interesting question, and I'm not surprised that there were no repeat answers. Like Cities of Choice, and religions, and all sorts of things, certain places and 'spiritual residues/powers' will touch people more than others.
The place that gave me the most feelings of empowerment and connexion were places of large pyramids. Teotihuacan and Giza, to be specific. I found myself learning a lot without any words or reading or speaking being involved...as if the monuments themselves were somehow transfering histories and truths straight into me. Sounds cookie, I know, but I still decipher those encounters in my dreams, years after I've been there.

 

yes, they leave and never come back. Mostly because the spirituality of choice around here is Christianity, Southern Baptist, to be precise. The number one thing everyone who visits here mentions is "there sure are a lot of churches here" and it's true. There is a very strong feeling of divinity here, and not everyone understands that, or can deal with the way the majority of people here express their spirituality. They run away screaming, never to return. I've heard somewhere that there are lines of power running through the planet (not sure if I believe it or not) and that they converge in a few different places, Tennessee being one of them.

 

Lines of power being lay lines? Have you ever been somewhere, and for no reason felt this certain power, no description? Either good or bad? That is what we are all talking about in this post. But, to look back on the history of such a place that you are speaking of, TN. It probably is on one of these lines. Maybe it is stonger. I used to live in this house in the woods when I was young. I loved it. I would spend all day outside, running around barefoot in the woods. That is where I learned to appreciate nature. At night, or sometimes even in the day time, I would feel this bad feeling. I used to see spirits when I was a child, but I never did in this house. I just felt something bad. When I look back on this, I tend to believe that this house or this area may have been and still is on a lay line. My cousin drowned off this road, in the ice covered river, when we were 4, my grandfather was gored by a bull on that same road when I was 5. Countless other tagidies happened on this same road and it can be traced through the timeline of the town that I lived in. I still drive out there occationally, and I feel this great power and flood of spiritual waves. that is the most spiritual place I have ever been to in my life.

 

I hardly equate church population to divinity. Where i am from there are tons of churches, here in south mississippi, and the only divinity you find is when you go looking in nature. It sure isnt coming out of those churches.

 

eh, Mississippi isn't anything like Tennessee, except to people from up North who can't tell the difference between the different Southern accents. LOL

Really, come visit our mountains, you'll feel it. There's just this something unexplainable to anyone who doesn't feel it, but it's there and it's very real to those of us who do feel it.

 

while hiking in pennsylvania, seemingly unpolluted by people. good times

 

So that was yours? I knew there were people there before me
i stepped on it...sorry
