Canada

 
Canadian Falls  

Almost everyone has a favorite place where you can find peace or get rejuvenated.  Sometimes, it's as close as the garden in your backyard, or for others, it may be a country or ocean away. One of my favorites is Canada, and I especially love Niagara Falls since it acts as an energy recharge for me.

After many months of healing, it was the perfect place to be with close friends, during the 09-09-09 energy activations. The day I arrived, we stopped at the Falls and experienced an almost 300-degree rainbow.  

We had seen single or double rainbows arcing 180 degrees across the Falls during my many trips over the years, but never one like this, so it was truly a magical  experience.

It was obviously caused by light refracting across the water on the ground making the rainbow appear to be completing a full circle, but nevertheless, we still stood in awe looking up at the beautiful rainbow colors and then down at them dancing across the water flowing below us.  We felt a promise of wonderful energies to  come.  

During the trip, we also went to other water locations since I always find them very healing and have included  pictures of those as well.

On another trip back to the Falls, we were able to stop at a Buddhist temple and although it was closed, we were still able to take a picture of a large, beautiful statue of Kuan Yin set far in the back. 

Then on our return to Toronto, we stopped at a lovely place, Niagara on the Lake, which is very peaceful and quaint. It literally makes you feel like you are stepping back in time to a quieter and more gracious existence.

Sedona

A small group of us (including some from Australia) also had a magical time visiting Sedona in 2009, thanks to the efforts of our group coordinator.

The few short days there were amazing and looking at the pictures reminds me of the incredible energies we encountered - even with a Mercury Retrograde occurring. 

Besides the usual Sedona vortex spots, our local guide, a very spiritual person, took us to other mystical places such as a Medicine Wheel where we could join in prayer and walk the wheel.

We were also able to visit a Buddhist Stupa where thousands have come from around the world to add their prayers and energies for peace for our planet. As we sat there in the shade, a slight breeze engulfing us, the energies of the place were truly amazing.
