Echoes from the King’s Chamber
It really hit me when I was in the heart of the Great Pyramid, in the King’s Chamber at 1:30 in the morning with 33 other brave souls about to be led in a group meditation by Matias De Stefano.
It was hot, humid, and my claustrophobia was kicking in. Then the lights went out. Complete darkness. In that stillness I could feel it: the energy, the resonance of that sacred granite room. I focused on my breath and soon my anxiety flipped into excitement.
I was in the exact spot I’d been reading about for years—a place at the top of my bucket list. A small chamber visited over the eons by pharaohs, sages, conquerors, and mystics. Built not for defense, but for devotion. The resonance was undeniable.
As our group sat in reverence, humming in unison under Matias’ guidance, the sound bounced off every polished surface and something deep inside me shifted. When he began guiding us through a meditation drawn from the ancient teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, known to the Egyptians as Thoth. I wanted to slow time and soak in every second.
