Energy vortex, what the heck is that? I knew you'd ask me that,
so here it goes. In the case of an Earth energy vortex, it is a location where
several Earth powers converge. Vortexes are power spots where a great
concentration of energy emits from the planet. Some experts feel that these
power points are themselves only surface manifestations of an energy
infrastructure within the planet. There are two types of energy vortexes.
Positive vortexes expand and perpetuate energy. Negative vortexes dissipate
energy. I'll have more to say about negative vortexes later.
In the extraordinary case of Desert Hot Springs, there is a convergence of five
energies. Earthquake faults, geothermal underground water, mountain peak
alignments, wind, and Sun energies. The map included here (you can click on it
to see a larger version) will help you understand the location of these energies
and their relationship to one another. First, the green line running from bottom
right to top left (from Southeast to Northwest) is the Mission Creek fault line.
This fault is a break off from the famous San Andreas Fault, which is South of
the city. The blue circled area is the location of the underground hot water
lake. The blue dashed line running through the lake is the mathematical mean of
the lake's position. The red line with the circles is the line connecting the
peaks of the rim of the Little San Bernardino Mountains. These mountains border
the city to the Northeast. Notice that these three lines are almost parallel to
one another. This means that their energy fields are in alignment with one
another. This is no accident, for the underground lake is held in place by the
fault line and the mountains provide the water runoff for the lake. This is
another example of nature in harmony.
The important thing to know here
is if you are standing facing the Northeast you are putting your body in
alignment with these positive energies. You may have even found yourself
standing in this direction and rested or meditating and not really knowing why.
Maybe you just found it comfortable. It's like sitting in front of your
fireplace at home. We all like to sit directly in front, not off to the side, so
we can feel the warmth and see the dancing images in the flames.
It is
unfortunate that the founding fathers of the city were unaware of this energy
alignment. If they had constructed the city streets on a Northwest by Southeast
axis, the general population would be calmer.
In addition to these
energies we have strong wind energy, from the common therapeutic breeze to the
sometimes ferocious storms. The wind is an energy of purification. Could you
imagine the trouble we would be in if our wind didn't blow and ground the smog
that enters our valley from the West? Many of us Native Americans can listen to
the wind and hear it talk. It sometimes tells us about the conditions from where
it came; sometimes it will tell us about the weather that is
coming.
Finally there is the wonderful Sun energy for which this area is
famous. As the Sun transits from the East to the West, it bathes the valley with
all its power, brightness, and healing energy.
So what is the
significance of a place that is an energy vortex? Ancient peoples made
pilgrimages to these locations because they were believed to be sacred sites.
These early people would come to these places to do ceremonies and ask for
healing. Over the centuries the knowledge of these sites was passed down from
generation to generation. In the Native American culture these places were in
the care of medicine men. Many of the ceremonies performed in these locations
involved the four elements-Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. These medicine people
knew that communion with these elements could bring forth healing.
So
what can you expect when you enter into an energy vortex? If you wish to derive
the fullest possible benefit from the energies, you must concentrate your
awareness, quiet your mind, and tune your entire being to the energy broadcast
of the power point. Here we have the unique ability with the natural hot waters
to immerse ourselves in a pool or jacuzzi and have full communion with one of
the powers directly. In general, people are drawn to energy vortexes and power
spots in search of enlightenment and inner peace; they are attracted by some
invisible force and its therapeutic effects.
As I mentioned earlier there
are positive and negative energy vortexes and that Desert Hot Springs is on a
positive vortex. Vortexes are like a magnet in the sense that one end is
positive and the other negative. The negative side of the energy vortex in this
area is located in the vicinity of Palm Drive and Highway 10. If you drive that
route regularly you may notice that there is almost always a car broken down
along the road. This is because machines that are in marginal running condition
will fail when passing through a negative energy vortex. Remember negative
vortexes dissipate energy. So if your car is already not running very well, it's
best to pass through these areas as quickly as possible.
Hopefully, now
you can understand a little more about these Earth powers. During your visit to
Desert Hot Springs you should bathe in the natural waters, take a hike up to our
mountains, lean into a therapeutic breeze and soak up some of that Sun
energy.

Update: December,

Recently, I had the opportunity to watch, and consult with, Sandy
Jack who is a Geologist/Geophysicist with a company called GEOVision. He was
here in Desert Hot Springs with a large drill rig taking core samples. His
research was part of a seismic study relating to the special geology here in
Desert Hot Springs.
His team drilled to depths as far down as 330 feet.
They used special electronic imaging equipment to chart the geological patterns
surrounding the core-drilling hole. The results indicated that the geology is
composed of sand, similar to the top surface sand, all the way down to the
330-foot level where they hit the water table. Sandy said that the interesting
thing about our geology is that we have a low gravitational field because of
having mostly sand under the terrain. If we had rock under us we would have a
higher gravitational field.
I found this to be another interesting
element that has to do with the Desert Hot Springs energy vortex. I'm not sure
at this time what interpretation to make about this phenomenon, but we can be
assured that in Desert Hot Springs we can all walk with a lighter step!
