A little while back I went on a girls trip to Byron Bay and I can remember thinking to myself “I just wish Bendigo had more tourist attractions to visit like Byron”
Then it dawned on me that to often I have taken it for granted where I live.
Bendigo and Victoria, in general, has some of the most beautiful natural attractions, but because I live in Victoria, I never do what the tourists do and go and explore it.
So I decided on my return that I would make it my intention to explore and visit more of Victoria.
My first visit was to revisit Vaughan Springs and show the kids the natural beauty of this region.
I remember loving this place as a child and I felt like it held some mystical energy to it. One of my all time favorite places in Victoria, in fact, the world is Lorne on the surf coast.
I believe it is a combination of it holding some many great childhood memories for me. We spent our childhood holidays here since I was two, but also it just holds such beautiful energy. It’s where the mountain meet the self-expression. The mountain provides the grounding solid support, whilst the ocean allows us to flow with the water to stir up emotions. Giving us the permission to releases them to the sea.
Did you know that there are 7 locations in the world which are known to hold the 7 chakras of the earth? Just like our body holds 7 main energy systems that are related to the organs and glands of our body. They each hold qualities.
The base chakra is about our grounding and support- which is positioned at the base of the spine.
Our sacral chakra governs the hips and is positioned at the pubic bones. Encourages sweetness, creativity, abundance, and joy in life.
The solar plexus chakra( Manipura) encourages courage and confidence. ( positioned at the navel)
The heart chakra( Anahata) correlated with compassion, kindness, acceptance, forgiveness, and generosity.
The throat chakra ( Visudhi) is about self-expression communication and speaking one's truth.
Third eye ( Anna chakra) is connected to trust, inner knowing, intuition, clarity, and calm.
The 7th chakra ( Swastihana) connection to all that is.
It is on my wish to visit a list of places in the world before I turn 40. These are places such as Peru, Glastonbury, Uluru, Egypt, and the list goes on. Many I have visited before but I wasn’t aware that the chakras lay at these places. I may have not known it but I definitely remember feeling the wonderous and magical energy at each of these ancient sites.
See we all feel an energy, how much depends on how in tune with it you are and how aware you chose to be.
Do you remember visiting a place and just feeling at peace within minutes of arriving? Whereas with other places it just didn’t feel right and you wanted to leave?
I want you to have a think back over your life and reflect on the happy places you like to visit and ask yourself why do I love this place so much?
How does it make you feel? Safe, joyful, calm? Is it because of the memories it holds for you? As the earth holds such memories, it holds it all- and that is why it is important to cleanse and heal the land as well just as it is important to do this regularly for ourselves.
I would like you to share and comment on some of the places where you can feel the energy and have kept memories. And I will add them to our list of places to visit. Let’s enjoy and explore the state we live in, and pass these memories onto our children. There’s nothing better than being outdoors amongst nature.
A few of my favorite places around Victoria to visit, make me feel very calm and grounded like Mount Alexander ( more base chakra) and the places that have water like Lake Eppalock and Lorne and Ocean Grove is where I feel at my most creative. ( Sacral chakra )
So please share; I know Hayley you would agree that Vaughan Springs is definitely your happy place?
I had an idea that I would like to start to organize half day trips to some of these gorgeous locations where we can experience the energy through sitting, meditating and partaking in a yoga practice- drawing on the specific energies of the location- oh and of course have a delicious healthy meal prepared just for us. Each adventure will allow us to explore and experience different places and the energy and qualities it holds. So please add your spots as yours maybe one we chose to visit.
More details will be released about our Raw Yoga Adventures in the upcoming weeks.
It would most likely be on a Sunday and run for half a day.
Inclusions:
Bus trip
Yoga
Meditation
Lunch
If you'd like to take part, please share with us, your land chosen local destination
