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.

If Women Ruled the World – Is a Matriarchal Society the Solution? | Wake Up World
The most striking thing about the archaeology of ancient Crete is how prominent women were in that culture. This was a society in which women had very high status. In contrast to later cultures like Greece or Rome, there were no images of warfare or weapons, and a lack of actual weapons in Minoan archaeology. In fact, many archaeologists believe that ancient Crete was a peaceful, egalitarian society. So… Is a matriarchal society the solution to our problems? By Guest Writer Steve Taylor Ph.D

Affirmations
Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny — something to fulfill, some message to be delivered, some work to be completed. You are not here by accident. There is meaning and purpose to your being here now. The Universe intends to do something through you. All you need do is say “yes” and allow it.
Meditation
Breath is Divinity. One who becomes one with the breath becomes the embodiment of the soul … and the soul in its full embodiment is the ego … and the ego is the imagination of the breath … and that makes the breath the very life you’ve been given. Will you allow the breath to tell you what’s true?

Shamanic Totem Appearance: Cat (Independence)
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.

Ē Kā Hāle – For The Home: Himalayan Salt Lamps
These lamps were first designed to cleanse the air in your home, and give a smooth dim light to your room.
There’s scientific evidence behind the huge popularity of these lamps. Himalayan pink salt lamps have the power to increase the number of negative ions in the room you keep them in.
What makes these lamps so powerful?
You should know the real power of heated Himalayan pink salt lamps:
- Attract humidity, and their surface is moist
- Build up ions, and soak up moisture from the air in your home
- “Marry” positive ions to their negative ions
- Neutralize the “electro-smog” in your home;
- Reduce allergens and irritants
- Provide soothing effect
There are three main action principles associated with the function of the Himalayan salt lamps.
- Ionization
When heated, the salt first absorbs the water, and then evaporate it. In this way the lamp releases the ions after the altering process. The salt turns into solution after getting in touch with the water molecules.
Sodium, as positively charged ions, and chloride, as negatively charged ions, become neutral and are released into your environment — which helps reduce pollutants such as allergens and irritants from your air.
- Electromagnetic oscillation
Have you ever heard of the Schuman resonance frequency? It means that every form of life on Earth is attached to an electromagnetic field of vibration. Electronics and industrialization expose you to artificial electromagnetic wavelengths and other frequency values.
Heated Himalayan salt lamps have neutral atomic structure, and thus they regulate the artificial frequencies, and neutralize the “electro-smog.”
- Transparent-crystalline structure develops the light waves
The light waves of the rainbow spectrum (300-700 nanometers) are important for your health. Cells in your body get new energy through electromagnetic wavelengths. The wavelengths of the salt rock go within the upper nanometer zone (600-700 nanometers), and release positive, calming energy waves.
