Ley Lines, Standing Stones, & Monuments

Overview

Ancient civilisations were aware of earth energies and watercourses and made the best use of them, marking them with buildings, monuments, standing stones, megaliths and other significant structures. Understanding the Earth’s frequency, these civilisations often built structures such as pyramids, sphinxes, and cathedrals on high-energy power spots.

Ley Lines

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a ley line is “an imaginary line between some important places such as hills, believed to be where there were very old paths. Ley lines are sometimes thought to have special powers.” (1)

The concept of ley lines was first introduced in the 1920s by an English amateur archaeologist and businessman, Alfred Watkins. While travelling in rural Herefordshire, Watkins observed that many ancient features, such as standing stones, burial mounds, churches, crossroads, and beacon hills, appeared to align along remarkably straight paths on a map. He also noticed that they intersected at places he called ‘terminal points’.

Watkins coined the term ‘ley lines’ from an Old English word ‘ley’ meaning clearing or meadow. In his 1925 book The Old Straight Track (2), he suggested that these were prehistoric trade routes intentionally created by ancient Britons for navigation across forested landscapes, with straight lines representing the shortest practical path.

Watkins did not suggest that ley lines had any mystical or spiritual qualities; however, many others believe there is much more to them.

What are the Monthly Spiritual Topics (MST)?

We create new spiritual topics each month. Coordinators use these topics to facilitate discussions to give members the opportunity to talk about real-life situations and to share insights, ideas and strategies. The spiritual topics are posted on CC’s internal social connecting platform where members from around the world engage in conversation and share personal thoughts. These topics are designed to give points of discussion around self-awareness and spiritual development to enable and empower each of us to become the best version of who we are!

Aims of the MSTs

We are all on a unique journey to grow and find greater meaning, purpose, and joy in life. To do this entails a deep focus on one’s inner self. As 13th-century Persian poet, Rumi, stated, “Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.”

To this end, the Monthly Spiritual Topics are designed to help members:

  • Know themselves better (self-realisation)
  • Connect with their inner wisdom
  • Develop conscious focus and intent
  • Live from a heart-centered space
  • Express compassion and be in service to everyone
  • Align with their Higher/Divine Self
  • Manifest positive change for themselves and the collective

Objectives of the MSTs

The Monthly Spiritual Topic process was created to serve two primary objectives: To offer spiritual dialogue and education for members and to provide Coordinators with relevant topic materials to facilitate engaging member discussions. This saves time for Coordinators who no longer need to search for topics and find materials to present. It also gives Coordinators the opportunity to further develop their facilitation skills.
