Freshman Mountain

            I don't know what made me google SW power points but I came up with "Enchanted Rock" and read lots of great stories. Two accounts said it was about an hour outside of Austin. I thought I could do that. However when I mapped directions it was closer to 2 hrs. I went anyway... There is so much to do at this State Park that one day barely gives you the time to reach the main summit. And between you, me and God I have quite a fear of heights and if there weren't slews of people marching up and down this thing, by myself, I would never think to climb it! What a wonderful collecting point for an International gathering, I heard so many different languages being spoken by every age person. There were babies and toddlers and dogs being taken up there? I would never think to do this. Maybe it was the healing properties of the mount they were going for? 

In my google search I read there was a lone tree at the very top and it was sacred. You keep walking and walking and the slope gets higher and higher and you never seem to see the lone tree? It had rained very early in the morning and there were little pools of shallow water all over the top... Little pools of grass croppings... Piles of geometric shaped pink granite. And eventually you see the sacred tree. I think it's dead now but it looks like it has youth outcroppings that are alive... Most perfect was the sight of an older man on a yoga mat meditating with his dog actually tied to the sacred tree and his bed roll... Ya wouldn't catch me sleeping on top of a mountain!!!! Yikes!!! 

On the way up the mountain I veered off the main path behind where fabulous boulder pink granite chunks clung off the back... I had to see, experience and shoot as many of these as I could. 

I hear the mountain glows bluish-green at sunset.  :)

I waited to see if I could feel these spiraling energies that were supposed to come up off the top. And if I did feel them, how and where would I.  

For me I felt them first when I placed my open hand on some of the ground pink gravel. The energy just pulsed right up through my hand. Very strong energy. I think if you took your shoes off it would straight up your body. Up at the top I did not feel the energies just by being there, so I tucked my feet into the places where the rock had a lip crevice and the energy goes soaring up your legs, made my stomach sick and did go all the way up to my throat as the google search said! I did it twice but it was way too strong, so I stopped. 

It was a great trip!*
