Foco Tonal (near Ajijic, Jalisco/ Mexico)

"Foco Tonal is a "place of power". There is a castle that you can't go in (but it looks really cool) and a gift shop. The little area that you see the people in is a power focusing place. People take water and rocks in and "charge them". There's a little ritual where you take your shoes off and enter the circle backwards. If you stand in the middle, you can hear your voice echoing back to you like you were in a pipe. It's kind of cool... There's also a little fairy garden where people leave offerings for the fairies."
