Visiting Auschwitz
Hello! Next month I’m traveling to Poland and one of the stops will be visiting the Auschwitz Birkenau Memorial which stands on the site of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp. Several years ago I visited the Dachau museum at the site of the Dachau concentration camp, and upon leaving almost immediately fell ill will a horrific migraine that lead to vomiting. I felt like the place was so energetically heavy that my body had a physical reaction to it. I’m trying to brace myself for having a similar experience at Auschwitz, but I feel like it’s important to see the sites and pay respect if I’m there. I don’t want to avoid going because I know it will be hard.
My question for you all is: what can I carry or wear on my body to help ground me? What crystals can I wear or bring to help me not carry the weight of the heavy and somber energy there? I plan to go in telling myself that I’m there to witness but that energy and those feelings are not mine.
Any recommendations are welcome!
