The Wawel Chakra (Polish: czakram wawelski) is a place on Wawel hill in Kraków in Poland which is believed to emanate powerful spiritual energy. Adherents believe it to be one of the world's main centers of spiritual energy.[1][2][3] The Wawel Chakra is said to be one of a few select places of immense power on Earth, which, like a chakra point in the human body, allegedly functions as part of an (esoteric) energetic system within Earth.[2]
According to believers, the center of the Wawel Chakra is situated under St. Gereon's chapel, which was built in the 11th century and is located between the Royal Castle and the Wawel Cathedral - in the north-west corner of Wawel's courtyard.[4]
The Wawel Chakra, or Wawel Stone, or Wawel Lotus or Wawel Power Place is treated as:
- a theosophical belief from 1930s (with legendary threads)
- a contemporary legend (so called urban legend) from the 1980s (but with roots in 1930s)
- a place of great interest and a research subject (and speculated topic) of contemporary dowsers and geomants
- a place of powerful spiritual and healing energy for New Agers
- a nuisance for people of firm Catholic or scientific background
- a tourist attraction, not welcomed by church and museum authorities
