The Water
Miracle Manor sits atop Miracle Hill where health-giving, naturally hot and cold mineral springs were discovered over 100 years ago. At the top of this hill, closest to the source, Miracle Manor provides its guests with unlimited access to two sparkling pools filled with this natural wonder. Emerging from the ground at 155 degrees Fahrenheit and cooled to 90 degrees in the swimming pool and 104 degrees in the soaking tub, the heat of the water plays an important role in balancing the body’s systems and allowing the skin to absorb its nourishing minerals.
Among core spa traditions, soaking in mineral water restores and revitalizes the body. Known as Balneotherapy, the practice has long been used to improve circulation, strengthen the immune system, and relieve pain and stress. The unique composition of this mineral water is world famous for its therapeutic and mood-enhancing properties: low in sulfur and rich in lithium. Once immersed in our waters, you’ll experience a level of nourishment and rejuvenation never felt before.
The tap water comes from the local cold mineral spring. It’s not only safe to drink, but it was voted best drinking water in the US two years in a row. It contains healthy minerals and is also alkaline. By drinking the waters and/or taking the many types of baths (hot, cold), mineral hot springs enthusiasts see increased health in the joints, skin, and other parts of the body, including brain function and the reduction of stress.
Energy Vortex
Did you know that Desert Hot Springs is an Energy Vortex? There is a convergence of five energies. Earthquake faults, geothermal underground water, mountain peak alignments, wind, and Sun energies. This is no accident, for the underground lake is held in place by the fault line and the mountains provide the water runoff for the lake. This is another example of nature in harmony.
We have strong wind energy, from the common therapeutic breeze to the sometimes ferocious storms. The wind is an energy of purification. There is the wonderful Sun energy for which this area is famous. As the Sun transits from the East to the West, it bathes the valley with all its power, brightness, and healing energy.
If you wish to derive the fullest possible benefit from the energies, you must concentrate your awareness, quiet your mind, and tune your entire being to the energy broadcast of the power point. Here we have the unique ability with the natural hot waters to immerse ourselves in a pool or jacuzzi and have full communion with one of the powers directly. In general, people are drawn to energy vortexes and power spots in search of enlightenment and inner peace; they are attracted by some invisible force and its therapeutic effects.
Ancient peoples made pilgrimages to these locations because they were believed to be sacred sites. These early people would come to these places to do ceremonies and ask for healing. Over the centuries the knowledge of these sites was passed down from generation to generation. In the Native American culture these places were in the care of medicine men. Many of the ceremonies performed in these locations involved the four elements-Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. These medicine people knew that communion with these elements could bring forth healing.The original hotel was built in the 1950s, one of the first spas in Desert Hot Springs. Now, redesigned as a human-centered, luxury resort, we boast true exclusivity situated in the Coachella Valley on top of Miracle Hill and nestled between the San Jacinto and San Bernardino mountain ranges.
