The Earth is a grand living being with countless millions of living forms. We as humans may contribute to the healing of the Earth by making conscious pilgrimages to the power places, an action that may be understood as Planetary Acupuncture.

What to do

The most important thing is to be aware. Look and feel deeply, slow down, be patient and respectful.
