People are ready to travel thousands of kilometers to get to the famous Place of Power: the Pyramids of Giza, Tibet, Stonehenge, Easter Island, the mountains of Nepal, the Altai Mountains or Lake Baikal. But it is not at all necessary to travel so far; it is quite possible to receive natural energy much closer - in central Russia, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Ukraine and Belarus, where energy zones rich in miracles are located.
Sources of natural energy output
There are many special places on Earth where the human energy shell is tuned to specific vibrations - such places have long been considered Places of Power by people. The body of planet Earth is pierced by channels carrying energy information. Energy moves through them all the time, and through the places where the Force exits, information is exchanged with the Cosmos.
Some bioenergetics consider the most powerful Places of Power of the Earth:
The list of energy sources can be continued endlessly: Mexico, Spain, Thailand, all of Europe, Cyprus. Sochi, Perm, Almaty, Yalta, Vladivostok - all have their own legendary sources of energy.
Places of Power are visited annually by countless tourists, bioenergeticists, ufologists, and healers. These energy sources are used during spiritual practices, as well as for working out and realizing one’s Karma. Meditations, classes on spiritual practices, congresses of ufologists and conferences of healers are constantly held here.
Pilgrimage is associated with sources of Power. They are also actively used for burial rites, since it is believed that they create ideal conditions for good reincarnation.
What does the source of Energy look like?
Places of Power often have a round shape, and you can even recharge their energy through video or photography. A map of such places indicates that there are usually mountains or water nearby. Most often, a sacred place is distinguished by a unique terrain, landscape, location: Lake Baikal, the Carpathians, Mount Kailash, the mountains of the Urals, the Caucasus, Abkhazia and Altai.
Sometimes such sources can be buildings or cities marked 
the most important historical or religious events: Jerusalem, cathedrals in Italy, churches in Russia. A sacred place can combine both characteristics, like dolmens in the Caucasus, as well as among the ancient Slavs (Gelendzhik).
For ancient civilizations, Places of Power were of great importance. Special structures and devices enhanced their positive energy. These are megaliths (menhirs, dolmens, stone circles), and later buildings of Asia (pagodas, stupas), and psychoenergetic devices (the mantra wheel of Tibet).
What are they?
The energy of each source of Power can be positive or negative, so they have different effects on a person. The “Positive” Place of Power harmonizes the body and gives positive energy. Sometimes people specifically come to such places to get rid of diseases. A “negative” source of energy makes you feel worse. But such places can also have a good effect on sick people, “pulling out” negativity.
Sources of Power can be man-made or natural. Natural energy sources are usually found in inaccessible areas. And man-made Places of Power (mosques, temples, churches) are usually located where natural ones used to be.
Energy information planetary channels have periods of activity and passivity. The flow of energy from any Place of Power can be strong or weak. Thus, Stonehenge is no longer an active source of energy, although people used to flock to it for healing.
Energy sources throughout Russia
Powerful sources of Power are located in almost all regions of Russia: in Kaliningrad, Chelyabinsk, Voronezh, Samara, Leningrad, Orenburg, Novosibirsk, Tula, Nizhny Novgorod, Penza, Vladimir, Volgograd, Kirov, Tver, Sverdlovsk, Kaluga, Rostov, Yaroslavl, Lipetsk...
People living in Yaroslavl, St. Petersburg (St. Petersburg or St. Petersburg), Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Moscow and the Moscow region know firsthand about energy sources. The list of expressed sources of Power can include almost all cities of Russia.
In Moscow and the Moscow region these include: Donskoy Monastery, Vorobyovy Gory, Sergiev Posad. The Chapel of Xenia the Blessed and Monrepos Park are well known to residents of the Leningrad region and St. Petersburg. The Russian cities of Voronezh, Valdai, Volgograd, Kazan, Omsk, Cheboksary, Anapa are also very well known to pilgrims, healers, and bioenergetics specialists.
Places with powerful energy are not uncommon in the Altai, Perm and Krasnodar Territories, Khakassia, Bashkiria, Tatarstan, Udmurtia, Siberia, Lake Baikal, and the Kola Peninsula.
There are a lot of places where the Force emerges in the Urals. Thus, the ancient city of Arkaim (in the Chelyabinsk region) today is the main esoteric center of Russia. In Karelia there are a huge number of sources of power, but the most famous are: the Chardon archipelago, Kizhi island, Anzer island, Pegrem sanctuary.
It is impossible to count energy sources in Crimea. The largest number of them 
concentrated in the Bakhchisarai region, as well as near the city of Yalta. Such attractions include: the Karadag and Chatyr-Dag mountains, the Kachi-Kalyon cave monastery, the Stone Mushrooms natural monument, and the Valley of Ghosts.
Dolmens make you think about their purpose. These megalithic mysterious structures of classical form have preserved the surroundings of Gelendzhik. But near Simeiz the dolmens are a little smaller.
Sevastopol can be proud of the Temple of the Sun at the foot of Ilyas-Kai, as well as the Skel menhirs. In Altai there is the famous Ukok plateau, former land ancient Scythians. The Kola Peninsula is famous for its Seydozero and Lovozero tundras.
In Nizhny Novgorod there is a healing lake Svetloyar. Pilgrims from all over the world also go to Shaitan Lake (Omsk), because the water of this lake is considered healing for women. And on Lake Ladoga is the legendary Valaam.
It is impossible to list all the wonders of Russia... In Samara and the Samara region there is the famous Samara Luka. The island of Sviyazhsk is famous in Tatarstan, and the ancient labyrinths of the northern Scythians are on Solovki.
Ukraine
Ukraine is rich in powerful sources of natural power. There are both ancient monuments and recently emerged places (for example, the Poklonny Cross of Kharkov).
Mount Totokha near Kyiv is considered the energy center of all of Ukraine. Another powerful Place of Power is Monastic Island, located not just in the Dnepropetrovsk region, but in the very heart of Dnepropetrovsk. 
There are no sources of power in Odessa itself, but the small town of Belgorod-Dnestrovsky, located in the Odessa region, has preserved the Akkerman fortress - the strongest source of solar energy.
Ukrainian women have many places that have a beneficial effect on feminine energy. Maiden Mountain above the Dnieper is a powerful source of energy for conception, as well as obtaining feminine strength. Men were forbidden to visit this mountain under threat of death. The village of Busha in the Vinnytsia region rejuvenates women, and Lysaya Gora near the town of Rzhishche is a gathering point for Ukrainian witches.
Ukraine is also famous for its ancient sources of Power. Thus, the Stone Tomb in the Zaporozhye region is recognized as the oldest monument in the entire territory of Ukraine. Mount Bogit in the Ternopil region is a shrine of the pagans of Kievan Rus. The main attraction of Bogita are the dolmens and the pedestal for the idol of the ancient Slavic deity.
Vladimirskaya Hill in Kyiv is the source of Power of the ancient Slavs. They were convinced that it was happening here energy channel, connecting Earth and Space. Svyatogorye in the Donetsk region has been a holy land since the Stone Age. Now the Svyatogorsk Lavra stands here.
Europe
Residents of Europe will not have much difficulty finding Places of Power, since they are concentrated here very densely:
Asia
Esotericists are well aware of the energy sources of Asia. In India, everyone knows the Sacred Mountain of Arunachala - it is considered the embodiment of the Pillar of Light. Another Sacred Mountain is Meru, the real center of the spiritual and material worlds.
Tibet is often called the Center of the World. The pyramid-shaped mountain Kailash is considered a famous energy source in Tibet. There are also many sources of Power in Central Asia, for example, in Kazakhstan.
South America
The world map shows that the sacred energy sources of South America are located parallel to similar places in India, Tibet, Nepal, and the peaks of the Andes are opposite the Himalayan peaks.
The powerful Places of Power in South America since time immemorial have been Machu Picchu (City Lost in the Clouds), as well as the Inca Trail leading to it. The oldest source of Power in South America is called Easter Island in Chile, where 887 five-meter Moai (megalithic stone idols) were discovered.
Places of Power are the most amazing miracle of our planet. People who practice all kinds of self-regulation systems (yoga, qigong, reiki) agree that it is possible to do whatever you want next to such energy sources. You can either meditate or just sit without thinking about anything. In any case, a positive effect from the source of Power will be achieved.
Marked by some very important spiritual event or recorded in the sacred scriptures. It is very difficult to count the number of such holy places, and it is not at all possible to try every single one. But there are two cities in the world that can be called the most sacred of all - these are Jerusalem(Israel) and Varanasi(India). Each of these holy places is revered in three religions at once. Jerusalem is a holy city for Jews, Christians and Muslims. Varanasi is a place of pilgrimage for Hindus, Buddhists and Jains. Both of these holy places attract thousands of pilgrims, each eager to look at their shrine.
Jerusalem
This city - real stone stumbling blocks in the relationship between Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Tens of thousands of adherents of each of these religions died to own their holy place in Jerusalem. The wars for Jerusalem have become entire historical eras, and political strife over it does not stop to this day.
Jews consider Jerusalem their holy place for obvious reasons: it was in this city that King Solomon built the first Temple- the main shrine of Judaism and the personification of the Jewish status of God's chosen people. The First Temple was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, the rebuilt Second Temple was razed to the ground by the Roman Emperor Titus, and the Jews have been waiting for the construction of the Third Temple for almost 2 thousand years. The restoration of the Temple for the Jews is tantamount to the arrival of paradise, because only then will their suffering and wanderings be over, and Israel will reign over the nations.
Muslims call Jerusalem a holy place because above the Temple Mount, where the Jewish Temple once stood, Prophet Muhammad met Allah. According to Muhammad himself, once in a dream he was carried there by a winged horse. Stopping over the Temple Mount, the prophet saw the heavens open above him, and the road to the Throne of the Lord opened. Almost no one believed the prophet until he accurately described Jerusalem, although he had never been there. The Muslims, having conquered Jerusalem in the 7th century, immediately built a mosque on the holy site of the ascension of the prophet.
Every Christian knows why Jerusalem is the holiest place on earth: Jesus Christ was crucified on Mount Golgotha near Jerusalem. The Son of God was buried there and resurrected there. Now on the holy site of his crucifixion stands the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where every year on Easter Day the Holy Fire descends to the earth.
Varanasi
The holiest place in India, the city of Varanasi, is located in the northeastern part of this country and is the most popular pilgrimage site for Hindus, Buddhists and Jains. Hindus believe that this holy place was built by god Shiva himself five thousand years ago. There is even a half-submerged temple in it, in which, according to legend, Shiva sometimes sleeps. Varanasi is overflowing with temples and shrines, many of which are Jain. The majority of the city's population works for the benefit of pilgrims and maintaining order in the temples. Besides, Hindus consider this holy place to be the best place to go to another world.. Rich and poor Hindus flock here from all over the country in anticipation of imminent death. It is believed that if a Hindu can die on the stone steps that descend to the Ganges, and his ashes are scattered along the great river, the Goddess Ganga will carry his soul to heaven and free him from the wheel of samsara forever.
Buddhists consider Varanasi a holy place for slightly different reasons. According to historical data, in the Varanasi suburb of Sarnath, Buddha Shakyamuni for the first time after enlightenment, he revealed to his students the Four Noble Truths, thereby turning the “wheel of Teaching”. Subsequently, grandiose temple complexes and monasteries of many directions of Buddhism were built on this holy place. Needless to say, there is no end to pilgrims and tourists in Sarnath.
Thus, Jerusalem and Varanasi are two of the holiest places on earth, as they are the main spiritual centers for a huge number of representatives of different religions and nationalities. A traveler who has visited these two cities can proudly assure that he has seen the most
From time to time we get tired of everyday life and need unloading. There is an opinion that a person rests and replenishes much more not from idleness, but from a change in activity and environment. Often we need not just to replenish our strength, but to be completely renewed, to reconsider our attitude to what is happening, to realize what has already happened, to understand how to live further, and here it is worth turning to the place of power.
When we talk about a place of power, we first of all mean a place of spiritual power, where a person goes for the purpose of internal cleansing, rethinking, liberation from concepts and far-fetched ideas, in order to connect with his essence, understand himself, in search of the meaning of his existence and answers on important internal issues. Many people who hold high positions with great responsibility try to regularly visit places where they can relieve accumulated stress and find peace. Creative individuals find inspiration and ideas here. But what can be said about everyone is that no one returns the same.
Visiting powerful sacred places is often associated with a test of both physical endurance and emotional stability. For example, many women experience very strong emotions; they say that there is deep energy here. mother's love, which is reflected in strong experiences at the anahata, or heart center, this in turn touches the most delicate strings of a woman’s tender nature, and many begin to cry. I had a similar condition in Tibet at the largest statue of Buddha Maitreya. But, for example, in Milarepa’s cave (Tibet) one can feel the incredible energy of asceticism; I once witnessed how one woman could not stand such concentration and ran out of there during a short meditation. Each place has its own effect on a person, so on such trips you need to be especially attentive to your condition. If we talk about the physical plane, then everyone synchronizes differently with a new place, somewhere there is increased humidity, somewhere different pressure, as well as food, water, air - all this leaves its mark, however, such things are usually perceived by practitioners as part of the cleansing that must be endured with dignity. In any case, here, like nowhere else, you learn your strengths and weaknesses.
If we talk about the global significance of places of power, then it lies in maintaining the energy balance of the planet. These places are the most sensitive points of contact between the gross and subtle planes. Therefore, here a person can feel his subtle bodies much more clearly, go beyond the boundaries of the mind and raise general level your energy.
How to find your place of power
There are different places of power: natural, such as Mount Kailash, Belukha, Lake Baikal, Manasarovar, etc., and associated with a highly spiritual personality - practitioner, prophet, saint: various regions of India - with Buddha, Tibet - with Padmasambhava, Jerusalem - with Jesus, Moore - with Peter and Fevronia, etc. Some people feel more connected with nature, while others are closer to personality, and through it they feel unity with all that exists, this is all very individual.
If we talk about practices, then the place is often chosen depending on the direction to which a person identifies himself. Those who worship Buddha and practice in the Buddhist tradition go to the places of Buddha and Padmasambhava, Shaiva to the places of Shiva. Those who indulge in prayer practices in the tradition of Orthodox Christianity visit Orthodox churches, monasteries and draw strength there. Yogis mostly travel to various parts of India and Tibet.
It must be said that there are Buddhist places in our homeland, for example, Alkhanay in the Trans-Baikal Territory. It is interesting that here, unlike other places, dakinis (beings of the subtle world who help practitioners) are highly revered. If we talk about natural places of power, they are distinguished by their beauty and the feeling that everything here is as it should be. In such places, people feel great aesthetic pleasure, the joy of being, which incredibly inspires and fills them, raising energy to higher centers.
How can you still find your place of power? Often we may think that we need to visit one place, but, having arrived there, we feel nothing and practically do not change, in this case there is no need to be disappointed, this means that either we are not yet ready to perceive the energy of this place, or we are simply not yet We are looking for our place. When we are going to go on such a trip, on the one hand, we choose a specific direction for a reason, on the other hand, we need to try to let go of all expectations about visiting it and accept what this place gives, and not what we want to get from it . Our idea often does not correspond to reality due to a certain level of development, especially when it comes to such categories, so we need to try to discard all pretense and be open to new experiences.
In any case, to find your place of power, you need to visit them!
Traveling to places of power
Now you can find a variety of trips to places of power: from visiting and practicing in one place to trips that contain a number of different significant places. And if the first ones will be the most productive for those who already know where they are going and why, feel or know for sure that this is their place of power; then the second ones are for those who are still searching. There is an opinion that we live more than one life, and everyone has a karmic connection with some place. If we are on the path of yoga or suddenly begin to be interested in any religion, and new knowledge awakens the deepest experiences in us, leads to peace, makes our life better, then this is a sign that we have not been following this path for the first time, therefore, We have already been to various sacred places associated with him. And if we say that the past, present and future happen simultaneously or in parallel, then we can, having arrived in such a place, reunite with ourselves in a previous life, and the already accumulated experience, knowledge and understanding can be revealed to us. For example, you can come to Mount Gridhrakutta (India), where a couple of thousand years ago Buddha Shakyamuni gave his Lotus Sutra about the Flower of the Wonderful Dharma, reunite with this event and gain a certain subtle experience. Therefore, when we go on a tour to several places in a row, the likelihood of getting to “our” place of power increases. Of course, this does not mean that we need to stay and live there, since we were born in another country and in another body for a reason, it means that the tasks for this incarnation are connected specifically with the new place, but past knowledge can be useful to us for a more beneficial life in the present .
Sooner or later, in my opinion, a person himself must become a place of power, that is, structure and ennoble the space with his very presence. However, in order to understand what to strive for and bring yourself into harmony, you need to visit clean, fulfilling, strong places.
As shown personal experience, for the first time on a trip to any place of power, it is better to go with a guide, since in many places there are certain rituals and rules of behavior that make sense to follow. If the trip is made in order to practice, then it is better to choose a yoga tour with a like-minded teacher.
The most powerful places of power in the world
It is quite difficult to say that some place is stronger, some weaker, since this is quite individual and depends on the level of consciousness, and on the purity of a person’s vibrations, and on the place itself. A person can be in such a state of confusion that he will not even notice a nearby shrine. Even at the foot of Mount Kailash, I saw people smoking and drinking alcohol, while throwing garbage directly on the ground, which for most is Holy. Therefore, a lot depends on the person himself. It must be said that not only the place nourishes us, but we also feed it. There is an exchange, and therefore many people try to behave very respectfully in holy places, perhaps even better than usual, and it is wonderful when there is such an understanding.
Still, we can highlight some significant places.
Himalayas- the highest mountain system on Earth. It was in the Himalayan mountains that hermits went to practice and achieved Enlightenment, becoming great teachers. The mountains stretch for many kilometers, passing through Tibet, India, Nepal, Bhutan, where there are a huge number of holy places, where practitioners from all over the world still come to this day to come into contact with their incredible energy and advance on the spiritual path.
In Tibet, the most revered place in the Himalayan plateau is Mt. Kailash, or Kailash, which, by the way, no one has climbed yet, because, according to beliefs, gods live on it and cannot be disturbed. Pilgrims come here to make a sacred round, which lasts several days, during which a lot of changes occur in consciousness and an understanding of many things opens.
Altai Mountains- a mountain system in the south of Siberia and Central Asia, stretches on the border of Russia, China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan. The most commonly identified places are Mt. Belukha and the valley nearby Jarlu(Valley of Edelweiss). Belukha is a unique mountain, considered a powerful place of power. It is equidistant from the world's oceans and is a kind of energy center of the planet. There is a belief that Belukha is the entrance to Shambhala. In the Yarlu Valley there is the Stone of Wisdom - the purpose of visiting many practitioners. The Ukok Plateau, Lake Akkem and others are also considered places of power in Altai. It is interesting that you can often come across a warning that you can only visit places of power in Altai with pure and good thoughts, since aggression and evil here turn against their source. I think it’s fair to extend this note to other areas as well.
If we continue to talk about places of power in Russia, it is worth noting Crimea, lake Baikal, dolmens in the Krasnodar region. Naturally, this is not a definitive list.
Below we will separately focus on the places of power of India and Tibet, since they are considered more than others to be associated with yoga.
Places of power in India
Many places of power in India are associated with the life and work of Buddha Shakyamuni, each of which is filled with its own specific energy, and this is strongly felt in contact with them.
Sarnath- the place where the Buddha gave the first teachings, formulating the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path.
bodhgaya- a place to achieve enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.
Mahakala Cave- the place of Buddha's austerities.
Mount Gridhrakuta- the place where the second wheel of the Teaching turns. It is believed that Buddha remains here in the subtle plane to this day.
Lumbini- the birthplace of Buddha, we talked a little about it above.
It is also worth highlighting such places of power as:
Nalanda- the remains of a Buddhist university-monastery. Just understanding that such personalities as Naropa, Shantideva, Atisha, Nagarjuna and many other figures who made a huge contribution to the development of Buddhism and yoga set foot here at one time creates a feeling of getting closer to them and an expansion of consciousness occurs.
Varanasi city and Ganges river. Varanasi is considered a holy city and is found in scriptures such as the Rigveda, Ramayana and Mahabharata.
Places of power in Tibet
In Tibet, in addition to Mount Kailash, there are many places of power associated with various deities, the founders of Buddhism, and great yoga practitioners. More details about them:
Jokhang Monastery- the monastery of the statue of Buddha Shakyamuni, which was made during his lifetime, is life-size.
Lake Manasarovar, where, according to legend, Shiva’s wife Parvati loved to spend her time. There is a belief that the sacred lake cleanses karma and washes away sins. However, in different traditions have different attitudes and connect their rituals with this place, for example, Hindus perform ablution, and Buddhists only drink its water.
Potala Palace- the former residence of the Dalai Lama (before the Chinese government invaded) and a Buddhist temple complex. Nowadays excursions are held here. Inside there are stupas of all previous Dalai Lamas, various mandalas and much more. Perhaps for many this place may seem more like a museum than a place of power, but such significant buildings (and this was previously a closed city with many monks) were built with full understanding of its location.
Samye Monastery- the first Buddhist monastery in Tibet.
Ganden Monastery, which was founded by Lama Tsongkhapa.
Drak Yerpa Cave Monastery, where Padmasambhava meditated with his wife Yeshe Tsogyal. It should be noted that Yeshe Tsogyal is one of the striking examples of a female practitioner achieving a high level in yoga.
Drepung Monastery- the largest monastery of the Gelugpa school, where the famous statue of the Buddha of the Future Maitreya is installed.
Tashilhunpo Monastery- residence of the Panchen Lama.
Kya Ngatsa(Kua Ngatsa) - Milarepa's birthplace (near the modern city of Kirong/Kriyong). Milarepa is a teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, a famous yogi practitioner, poet, author of many songs and ballads that are still popular in Tibet, one of the founders of the Kagyu school. His teacher was Marpa (in turn, Marpa’s teacher was Naropa, whom we mentioned when talking about Nalanda).
Chiu Monastery, where Padmasambhava spent his last 7 days of life.
In conclusion, I would like to repeat that when going on such trips, a positive attitude, an open soul and consciousness are very important, so as not just to see something new and put another tick on the list, but to get closer to something pure, bright, kind, clear, to become better, more aware, wiser, to expand the scope of perception of the world and, upon returning, to bring all this into the reality around us.
Places of power in the world: list of 14 energy places
People have long traveled thousands of kilometers to imbue themselves with energy in the world-famous Places of Power. Mysterious objects are scattered all over the planet and many legends and tales are associated with them. People strove to Places of Power in order to better understand the spiritual world, find harmony within themselves, and increase psychic abilities, recover from illnesses or see with your own eyes the lands emitting magical vibrations. It is believed that certain territories are permeated with bioinformation channels through which communication with the Cosmos and the Higher Mind occurs, therefore wonderful zones are a place of pilgrimage not only for tourists, but also for healers, bioenergeticists and ufologists. We present to your attention a list of Places of Power located in different parts of the world.
1. Stonehenge, England
Stonehenge (“stone core”, according to another version – “gallows”) is located 130 km from London, in the county of Wiltshire. The oldest building is a megalithic structure, the age of which has not yet been determined and is estimated to be 3-8 thousand years. On the plain, stone blocks are installed in strict order, the weight of which varies from 5 to 50 tons. According to scientists, Stonehenge is different time was used as an observatory, a Druid cult menhir and a cemetery. Proponents of other theories claim that this Place of Power was a UFO landing site or a portal to another dimension.
2. Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
They are also called the Great Pyramids - the only wonder of the world that has come down to us, the most famous Place of Power in Africa, presumably somehow connected with the constellation Orion. “Pyramid” from Greek means a polyhedron; this is how the pharaohs imagined their “homes after life.” It still remains a mystery why the Egyptians gave the “burial chambers” this particular shape. The archaeological complex is located 8 km from Giza and 25 km from Cairo in the middle of the desert and consists of three monuments created for the pharaohs Cheops, Menkaure and Khafre. To this day, there is debate about what technology was used during construction, but no one doubts that the Great Pyramids are the greatest mystery, shrouded in countless fantastic assumptions.
3. Himalayas, Tibet
The Himalayas (translated from Sanskrit as “abode of snow”) are the highest mountain range on Earth, so it is not surprising that there are many Places of Power along a length of 2.5 thousand km. The Himalayas are called the abode of the gods; sages, monks and priests came here to end their earthly lives. The snow-capped peaks attract and fascinate, it is impossible to take your eyes off them. Buddhists and Hindus consider the Himalayas to be a holy place created for meditation and purification of karma.
4. Easter Islands, Chile
The Easter Islands (in the local language - Rapa Nui) are located in the Pacific Ocean and are famous for the 20-meter stone statues (moai), hewn from compressed volcanic ash in the form of huge human heads. According to the legends of the aborigines, each idol contains a powerful force, which was placed inside the idols by the ancestors of the first king of the island. Legends say that the giants were made in quarries in the center of the island and from there they themselves “walked” to their location. Isotericists consider the “Island of Mysteries” to be the remnant of the lost Atlantis, and Helena Blavatsky wrote that representatives of a race unknown to us once lived here, perhaps they were Atlanteans or Lemurians.
5. Shasta Stratovolcano, USA
The very name of the mountain “Mount Shasta” is extremely surprising, because in English language The toponym has no reflection and is not translated in any way. According to one version, “Shasta” is an echo of the word “happiness”, which was given to the volcano by immigrants from Russia. Today the mountain is the most popular Place of Power in the United States; hundreds of fans of spiritualism, occultism and other extraordinary teachings come to these parts every year. The Indians considered Shasta the center of the universe; bioenergeticists consider the peak as a point of concentration of extraordinary cosmic power, a source of magic crystals and a portal leading to the fifth dimension.
6. Mount Pidan, Russia
The stones of Mount Pidan, located in the Primorsky Territory, are the center of attraction for everyone who considers it their duty to take the path of self-improvement and deep knowledge of the origins of the universe. On the maps, the Place of Power is designated as the Livadia Hill, on which various kinds of anomalous phenomena have been noticed since ancient times, and the priests were the only ones who were allowed to climb the GRU to communicate with the “flying” people. Researchers call Pedan a gateway to a parallel world, and local residents claim that there have been cases of strange deaths of pilgrims from sudden cardiac arrest at the top.
7. Mount Brocken, Germany
The relief of the northern part of the country is represented by the picturesque Harz mountain range, the beauty of which was sung by many German poets in their works. The highest peak of the Harz, Mount Brocken (1141 m), is known as a place where witches and sorcerers gather. Local residents claim that many centuries ago, a Sabbath of evil spirits was held annually on Walpurgis Night, and the entire mountain was given over to the dead, warlocks and demons who flew here on brooms, goats and pigs. Today there is a hotel on the mountain, the rooms of which are never empty thanks to hundreds of curious people who come here in the hope of coming into contact with the other world.
8. Fortingall Yew, Scotland
Fortingall Yew grows in the Perthshire area and is the oldest tree in Europe, and many believe the world. The yew is supposedly 5000 years old, its trunk girth is 18 meters. In Scotland, the tree is considered sacred and one of the local legends says that under its crown, on the advice of the Druids, Pontius Pilate sat to gain power over the world.
9. Merlin Stones, France
Mysterious stones are located near the village of Carnac in France. Megaliths are not as famous as Stonehenge, although they surpass it in the number of megaliths. The complex includes dolmens, mounds and menhir pillars, of which there are about 3,000. The stone rows stretch for 3 km and represent entire alleys. At all times, this area was densely populated, so many of the exhibits were poorly preserved. Celtic symbols and Roman images of deities are clearly visible on the surface of some slabs. According to legend, the stones are the enemies of King Arthur enchanted by the wizard Merlin.
10. Vysehrad, Czech Republic
The history of the Czech Republic as a country originates from this city; the first dynasty of kings, the Přemyslids, ruled from here. Vyšehrad is a Place of Power where two worlds meet – the heavenly and the earthly. This land is known for its significant prophecies and visions concerning the destinies of the great ones of this world. The Peter and Paul Church houses the coffin with the body of Longinus, the centurion who ended the suffering of Jesus Christ by plunging a spear into him. Under the city there are casemates that attract tourists with their secrets and ghosts. Many men and women from noble Czech families are buried in the Slavin tomb. From a beautiful hill you can look at the Vltava in the place where a prophecy was made about the emergence of a new state on the world map - the Czech Republic.
11. Athos, Greece
Athos is the Holy Mountain, the Greek Place of Power, the stronghold of the Eastern Christian monastic order and the land where true spiritual values are still alive. Athos is located in the east of the Chalkidiki peninsula, which is washed by the waters of the gentle Aegean Sea. Many myths are associated with the mountain, including about the greatest commander Alexander the Great. His goal was to carve his image from one of the rocks, while a river was supposed to flow from his right hand, and they planned to build a city near the stone commander’s left hand. The official church reports that the Mother of God Mary herself preached on Athos, taking the mountain under her protection.
12. Arunachala, India
Arunachala is a sacred hill for the people of India, located in the state of Tamil Nadu, one of the main places of pilgrimage for followers of Shaivism. Hindus call Arunachala the ocean of grace; according to legend, it was here that Shiva received a revelation of higher knowledge. The height was first mentioned in an ancient Indian treatise, where it is stated that the dispute between Brahma and Vishnu was stopped by Shiva, who became a pillar of light and turned into Arunachala.
