Wabasha Street CavesSt. Paul, Minnesota http://www.wabashastreetcaves.com/ Looking like a mini castle built into the side of a cliff, the Wabasha Street Caves probably aren't what you think they are. First off, they aren't actually caves. They were made in the 1840s and have served a range of functions over the years. And, second, despite the rustic look and being caves of a sort, they aren't located out in the country. They're in downtown St. Paul, minutes from the airport.

Meditation is an ancient, time-honored practice of quieting the mind. The purpose of meditation is different for each who embarks on that journey: to achieve mental and emotional well being, elevate consciousness, reaching towards enlightenment, and as a foundation for developing natural spiritual gifts. Psychic skills development involves practices and exercises that assist in opening your own natural psychic receiving mechanisms.
