Machu Pichu
with Amazon John Easterling
June, 2008
Here's the Amazon
Herb contingent at Machu Pichu, with Laurie on
the far right and me next to her. That's
me in the second photo, and Laurie in the third
photo.
Due to an airline strike, our plane from the
jungle to the Sacred Valley was cancelled, so we
took a flight south to the edge of Lake
Titicaca. From their, we drove north along
the Pan American Highway, through the Andes.
Moonlight over the
mountains
We
left our hotel in the Sacred Valley about 5 am
to take the first train to Machu Pichu. As
you can see, the day is spectacular, with clear
blue skies and no breeze, just cool and
invigorating.
We
spent the day wandering the ruins, meditating,
listening to guides, and finding our own peace
in this unique environment.
Years ago, a sound-frequency healing teacher
explained how the small, windowless rooms in one
section of the ruins were healing rooms.
According to her, when a musical note or tone
was played in each room, the sound resonated at
a particular frequency and helped heal the
patient sitting in the room. I have no
idea whether this is accurate or not, but I had
fun exploring the rooms and listening to the
different tones echoed in each room!
