The Power of Place Sacred Ground in Natural and Human Environments James A Swan 9780946551941 Books Reviews

I have listed this book as one of the five most influential books I have ever read. Although it was written back in the 90's, it is a groundbreaking anthology of essays on understanding such things as the commonly used phrase, "Location,location, location."

It also explains the scientific basis for holy places and pilgrimages, the vibrational healing impact of certain woods and stones used in building; and arranging your present environment into a healthier place.

I was reminded of it when reading about the recent concept of "relocation therapy."

The summary of the book provided here by Lance M. Foster is also outstanding, as it lists the authors and subjects of the various essays.

Highly recommended...
