I have had the opportunity to visit some amazing places on my recent travels and to experience to really interesting, unusual and powerful energy in different places. I just thought I would write a quick post about one recent experience.
My local guide took me to a citadel near the city. Many fortifications were still present, but the inside of the citadel was largely being occupied by gardens and various museums. It was a very interesting place to visit.
As we came to the part of the citadel that looked out over the current city, there was a clear sense of the energy of a benevolent ruler looking out over the city and managing the affairs of the people. It was almost like being transported back in time to see the city through the benevolent rulers eyes. Til that point, my understanding of the citadel was that it had simply been a military fortification, so I questioned my local guide further on the original use of the site and if the rulers or kings had ever lived there. She again told me that no, it had always just been a military site.
But the energy of the place was clear… so as soon as I got the chance when I got back to our accommodation I double checked with Google – not that google is always right, but I wondered if there was some information that I was missing out on. Google confirmed, the citadel had indeed been the place where the rulers lived for hundreds of years! and it was only more recently that it had become a purely military site.
So when in doubt… sometimes the energy of a place can tell you about its history better than a guide can.
I have many more such experiences, but this is just one that stands out to me, particularly because the energy was so beautiful in that spot. It was wonderful to feel the benevolence of the rulers in this location, when so often this is not the case.
