The Beatles ‘Love’ Cirque du Soleil at The Mirage in Las Vegas, Nevada (click here for more info)

I love the Beatles and I love Cirque du Soleil. Ever since I heard they had been combined, I've wanted to come to Vegas to see the show. And today I did. To say I loved it, would be a huge understatement, but I did. I loved the songs and I loved every minute of it. It was totally worth the wait.

The Integratron in Landers, California (click here for more info)



To celebrate Halloween, today I went to a sound bath at The Integratron. After registering, you take of your shoes, climb up the steep stairs, and then lay on the floor for the half hour acoustic experience. Because of my bad back I am not able to lay on the floor for any amount of time, so I was the only person in the room sitting up.

You’re supposed to lay still and close your eyes, but I was fascinated watching the process, so I couldn't keep my eyes closed. The instruments used to make the relaxing and soothing sounds are the white quartz crystal bowls you’ll see in the picture below.

From their website:

The Integratron is an acoustically perfect tabernacle and energy machine sited on a powerful geomagnetic vortex in the magical Mojave Desert.

The Sound Bath is a sonic healing session that you can experience in this highly resonant, multiwave sound chamber. The quartz crystal singing bowls are keyed to the energy centers or chakras of the body, where sound is nutrition for the nervous system. The results are waves of peace, heightened awareness, and relaxation of the mind and body.

‘Rhythms of Life’ Earthworks Sculpture in Yucca Valley, California (click here for more info)

Rhythms of Life is a project by Australian sculpturist Andrew Rogers, who has created large contemporary land art in six different continents. Today I found his first and only land sculpture in the US. It is huge and it was far. I tried my best but if you’d like to see a much better picture, click here.
