Peter Shell and I finished up the survey of the Ledges Area of H igh Tor NYS DEC Forest yesterday. We will go back again and recheck and verify our original findings. We have completed photographing and marking up all of the stone mounds in the Ledges Area. I am writing to tell you about an amazing stone mound we found close to the Welcome Circle. Staffs below mark Energy Lines and where the yellow tape breaks from an Energy Line is part of an Earth Chakra and its vortex is directly above.
Staffs mark only a few of the many Energy Lines that cut through (intersect) the stone circle. We have opted out of showing all the Energy Lines because the photos become too busy and it is near impossible to catalogue all the Energy Lines. Call it one of the lessons we learned during our survey. This is the only double dimpled, or hollowed out centered stone mound. Pepper (white dog) is in the larger indented area and just above and to the right of orange seat cushion is the smaller indented area. Again yellow tape indicates an Earth Chakra. What is interesting is just to the left of the picture above (outside of it) is a large boulder pictured below. This is the largest boulder we found in any of the stone mounds. Several Energy Lines (10), sticks with yellow tape are Energy Lines that intersect at the boulder. See below.
What is so interesting about this mound? All that has formed around it--that's what's special about it. In other words. things have manifest, been created since the mound was built. These structures, or features, where created through the prayers, ceremony, rituals, meditations and good thoughts of visiting pilgrims. A Natural (Energy) Vortex--The orange cushion marks a natural vortex of what I call Cosmic Prana; it is the prana/energy we attract when we meditate/pray or do good things, or have positive thoughts. It nourishes your soul and raises your consciousness. It is separate from the vortices of the Earth Chakras. As I noted in Vortices and Spirals when we love, give, heal, practice ahimsa... Mother Earth may bless us with a natural vortex. It is a wonderful soul nourishing gift from our Mother. A very positive sign and strong indication that the mound was used for spiritual purposes. Two Water Veins--The white staffs mark water lines, or water veins; underground water flowing below the surface of the Earth. They begin underneath the boulder. You cannot find them on the other side of the boulder. In fact, I strongly belief that they, like the vortex, were also created from the prayers and rituals of visiting pilgrims. Ever since my survey of the Whangtown Stone Chambers I have taken a greater interest in looking for water veins when surveying sacred sites. I have also reread Sig Lonegren's book Spiritual Dowsing and his website, Mid-Atlantic Geomancy; as well as Tom Graves', Needles of Stone Revisited. Water Veins are a good historical marker for sacredness. Amazing to think that fresh water can be drawn, and even created, through right living and spiritual practices. Wow. We have the ability to create soul nourishing energy vortices and life sustaining water through our actions and intentions. Mother Earth is Amazing!
Peter Shell and I were back at High Tor NYS Forest in the Ledges area photographing and cataloguing stone mounds. As I have been posting about recently there is some incredible stone work found there. I wanted to share some pictures with you. Below are pictures of stone mound #19. It is an oblong shaped stone mound with a dimpled center. There are also many appendages that cover Energy Lines. There is an elevated front entryway. Not sure if this was to mark Energy Lines, or to create a step up before entry. The stone mound covers numerous Energy Lines. In fact we ran out of staffs to mark all the Energy Lines and ended up to resorting to using sticks and wrapping them with yellow tape. There are only 2 Earth Chakrasoff one main Energy Lines marked by yellow tape; offshoots from the dark blue and white staff.
Staffs mark the Energy Lines.
This is the right side of the first picture. Notice how raised stones mark the Energy Lines. Even on the ground to the right you can see stones marking Energy Lines.
In the picture above the tape attached to the dark blue and white staff mark Energy Lines beginning from an Earth Chakra. A vortex, or Earth Chakra is found at the origination point of the new Energy Line. Notice how stones are used to mark these Energy Lines originating from the Earth Chakra.
In our survey of the Ledges Area last week we stopped to film a video about how imprints can be used in surveying a sacred site. We are in the process of cataloguing the stone structures at the Ledges Area of High Tor. If you don't know much about imprints, or geographic samskaras, you may wish to view my video: Thought Forms--Geographic Samskaras Stone mound #12 has been well preserved and retains its dimpled center. In this video I explain how imprints can be used to verify our beliefs about its purpose. It is an incredible demonstration of the workmanship ancient cultures; even though leaves block your view, much can be gleaned. This is part of a series of video's on our survey of the Ledges. Thanks to Peter Shell and Janice Carr for their help. REMEMBER IT'S ALL ABOUT THE VIBE! Using Imprints to verify the sacred area at Mound #12 in the Ledges Area
A video of Ledges Area Survey, Stone Mound #0, has been posted on YouTube. We are in the process of cataloguing the stone structures at the Ledges Area of High Tor. Because the Ledges Area contains numerous Earth Chakras, and the bulk of stone mounds are located over Earth Chakras you might wish to first see a short video I put together a few years back on Earth Chakras. Earth Chakras--Vortexes of Energy Circulation
This video looks at stone mound #0 that is in fair condition. It is mound # 0 because on our initial overview, which we did 2 times, we missed this stone mound close to the Welcome Circle Area. I mention this because the Ledges Area is so busy and this video underscores the challenges of surveying a very busy sacred place that has lots of features of Mother Earth. There is It is an incredible demonstration of the workmanship ancient cultures; even though leaves block your view, much can be gleaned. This is the second in a series of video's of our survey of Ledges. Thanks to Peter Shell and Janice Carr for their help. REMEMBER IT'S ALL ABOUT THE VIBE!

A video of Ledges Area Survey, Stone Mound #7, has been posted on YouTube. We are in the process of cataloguing the stone structures at the Ledges Area of High Tor. Because the Ledges Area contains numerous Earth Chakras, and the bulk of stone mounds are located over Earth Chakras you might wish to first see a short video I put together a few years back on Earth Chakras. Earth Chakras--Vortexes of Energy Circulation This video looks at stone mound #7 that is in fair condition. It marks two main Energy Lines one of which passes through a Manitou Stone, or upright stone buried in the earth. One Main Energy Lines contains 2 Earth Chakras and the 2 acompanying offshoot Energy Lines perpendicular to it in the earth below. The other has 3 Earth Chakras and 3 offshoot energy Lines. In this video I trace out one of the marked main Energy Lines. It is an incredible demonstration of the workmanship ancient cultures; even though leaves block your view, much can be gleaned.

A video of Ledges Area Survey, Stone Mound #6, has Been Posted on YouTube. We are in the process of cataloguing the stone structures at the Ledges Area of High Tor. Because the Ledges Area contains numerous Earth Chakra, and the bulk of stone mounds are located over Earth Chakras you might wish to first see a short video I put together a few years back on Earth Chakras. Earth Chakras--Vortexes of Energy Circulation This video looks at stone mound #6 which is basically a pile of rubble; but as you trace out the two energy lines underneath the Earth Chakra's vortex much is revealed. Both energy lines are connected to Manitou stones. There are also two Natural Vortices, or Energy Vortices, which indicate that the Ledges Area is a very holy area. It is an incredible demonstration of the workmanship ancient cultures; even though leaves block your view, much can be gleaned. This is the second in a series of video's of our survey of Ledges.
