Since primeval days to date, the Japanese have regarded certain mountains as objects of worship believing that mountains are places where multitudinous gods (Kami) reside. This belief in mountains as sacred places still lives on and is practiced in the Japanese traditional religion, Shinto, which is based on animism and ancestor worship. Today, this notion of sacredness is generally accepted and understood together with concepts from Chinese philosophies, such as Confucianism and Taoism, and Buddhism, which have evolved over a long time. In Japan, volcanoes or high, well-formed mountains, as well as smaller hills standing close to human settlements, were believed to be sacred places.

Look at a cat and you will immediately feel what its spirit expresses: total self-confidence and independence. Of course, cats can give us great gifts of love. And some of them can also be very social. But within their core being, they are always self-sufficient and sure of what they want — and don’t want. It may be time to connect to this energy. Have you felt too dependent on someone or something lately? Do you think someone else may have something you lack and need, like love, money or power? Go back to yourself and feel that, like the Cat, you have all the resources you need to be happy. Everything is already inside of you. By realizing this, you will feel an immediate sensation of freedom and confidence.
