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’s not at all necessary to travel that far; it’s quite possible to get natural energy much closer - in central Russia, 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, 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” the negative.
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.

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.

Such zones may have pronounced positive or negative energy. In the first case, visiting places of power can heal a person on both the physical and spiritual levels. In the second, on the contrary, to take away part of the vital energy.

Some trips take years to prepare for, because their purpose is not sightseeing, but spiritual growth, receiving grace and consolation. Holy places- this is the goal of millions of believers around the world who dream of touching the greatest religious relics. Today we will tell you about the most famous of them.
Holy places. Vatican
Country with an area of 0.44 m2 and holy capital Catholic world. The high fortress wall hides the secrets of a sovereign state founded in 1929 and with its own flag, mint, currency, post office, radio station and railway. Until this time, the Vatican belonged to Italy and was known as the center of power of the Pope - the head of the Holy See and Roman Catholic Church. It houses priceless treasures of world culture and art, some of which are exhibited in accessible museums, as well as secret archives located in an 85 km long underground vault. Access there is closed to mere mortals.
The main entrance to the Vatican is Piazza San Pietro, designed by the greatest Lorenzo Bernini. His great idea was the symmetrical colonnades in the shape of a semicircle that frame the square, which gives it the outline of the key to heaven given to Peter by Jesus.
Photo source: etxt.ru/elenawiet.html Piazza San Pietro is home to the sacred destination of pilgrimage for millions of Catholics around the world - St. Peter's Basilica, which is the largest Christian temple on the planet, with an area of 22,067 m2. The foundation of the grandiose basilica was the burial place of the Apostle Peter, who suffered martyrdom on an inverted cross. The coffin with part of the relics of Peter is located in the center of the cathedral, above it the lamps of the Papal Altar burn inextinguishably. In addition, in the sacred place there are the Vatican Grottoes, where the deceased Popes rest, the relics of John Chrysostom, Gregory the Theologian and the statue of Queen Helena with the Cross of the Lord she found, particles of which are also a relic of St. Peter's Basilica.

Jews all over the world pray towards Jerusalem, and Jews of Jerusalem pray towards the Western Wall - a symbol of hope and faith. It was so more than 2 thousand years ago, and it is so now. Representatives of other faiths also strive to get to the shrine and insert notes into the cracks between the ancient stones, to which they entrust their most cherished desires. There is always an atmosphere of harmony and peace here. Here everyone has a conversation with God.
Photo source: gfbv.de Today's prayer site is the ruins of the structures that formerly surrounded the Temple Mount. More than 3 thousand years ago, the wise Solomon founded a grandiose temple here, where the priceless shrines of the people of Israel were located - the tablets stored in the Ark of the Covenant with the commandments inscribed on them, which God gave to Moses on the top of Mount Sinai. In 586 BC. e. the temple was destroyed by the king of the Babylonian kingdom Nebuchadnezzar. In 516 BC. e. a second holy house was erected. But a sad fate awaited him too. In 70 AD e. Roman troops, led by Emperor Titus, burned the sanctuary.
Only the western part of the wall of the second temple remained intact - the current Wailing Wall - the main synagogue under open air, where followers of Judaism pray tirelessly, grieving for the lost holy place and tablets and dreaming of the construction of the Third Temple, the appearance of which was predicted by the prophets.
Photo source: givengain.com In the heart of Jerusalem is the most sacred place of all Christians on the planet. Jesus Christ preached here more than 2 thousand years ago. The energy of this land cannot be expressed in words - it must be felt, absorbed along with the hot air of the ancient narrow streets along which on Friday, early spring morning of the month of Nisan, Jesus was led to the place of crucifixion. On Mount Golgotha, where He accepted death on the Cross and was buried, where the miracle of the Resurrection occurred, in 335 AD. e. Queen Helena and her son Constantine erected the first sacred temple Holy Sepulcher.
Photo source: kirche-in-not.de Today, under the arches of the temple there are three of the greatest shrines of Christianity:
The silver-lined round hole at the top of the sanctuary is the location of the Cross. Seventeen steps lead there. A Throne was built in front of the Crucifixion, and to the right of it is a part of the rock under glass with cracks formed at the moment of the Lord’s death.
The stone of Confirmation, lined with marble, on which the body of Jesus was placed after the Crucifixion for rubbing with precious oils. It is located in front of the entrance to the temple. Eight lamps are suspended above this place - exactly as many denominations of Christianity have the right to be in the sacred place. Pilgrims strive to touch the Stone and place icons and crosses on it for the Holy blessing.

You can (and should!) enter it only on your knees, since inside there is a Shrine that has no equal in the Christian world - the Holy Sepulcher. Great things happened here Christ's Resurrection, here pilgrims who arrived from all over the world shed tears of joy, cleansing their souls!
Every year a miracle occurs in the temple, which millions of Christians await with hope in their hearts - the ascent Holy Fire. The flame appearing on the funeral bed symbolizes the continuation of life on the planet. According to sacred legends, the year when sacred fire will not be given to people, it will be the beginning of the Apocalypse.

The main prophet of Islam, Muhammad, was born and preached starting in 629. Muslims look towards this sanctuary during prayers, performed five times a day. Representatives of other faiths are not allowed here. In the Middle Ages, those who violated the ban faced immediate death. Today, those who do not comply with this law face a large fine.
Photo source: keywordsuggest.org Every year, more than two million devout Muslims on the planet perform Hajj - a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, in which everyone who believes in Allah must take part at least once in their life. The time of Hajj comes with the onset of certain months of the Islamic calendar. These are Shawwal, Dhul-Qaida and 9 days of Dhul-Hijjah. The purpose of the pilgrimage is to worship the greatest shrine of the Islamic religion - the Kaaba, located in the courtyard of the main building of Mecca - the Sacred Mosque, the area of which is 309 m2.
The Kaaba itself is a 15-meter-high black granite cube standing on a marble foundation. The structure is covered with dark fabric and hides a room inside, the entrance to which is closed by a golden door. Her weight is 286 kg. One and a half meters from the ground in the eastern corner of the Kaaba is the main relic - the Stone of Forgiveness, sent by Allah to Adam and Eve. At that time the shrine was painted in White color, but, having absorbed the sins of the human race, it darkened. Touching the Black Stone is the main dream of all followers of Islam.
Photo source: india.com The holy city, standing on the banks of the Ganges River, is the religious capital of India. There are a huge number of temples here - about 25,000. Hindus claim that Varanasi (or Benares), built by God Shiva, was the first city to appear on the planet. It is from this place that the history of mankind begins. At the time when India was a British colony, the city was called Kashi, which means “bright” in Indian. Hindus believe that staying in this place removes all sins from a person. Therefore, Varanasi is the most important pilgrimage destination for Indians who dream of swimming in the waters of the Ganges and cleansing their souls.
Photo source: mouthshut.com An equally important goal for numerous Indians trying to get to the ancient city is, no matter how crazy it may sound, the cremation of the dead. Followers of Hinduism have no fear of death, because the soul does not die, but is reborn again, going through many cycles until it reaches heaven. The eastern bank of the Ganges is where people go after death. And if their bodies were burned on the western bank, then the liberated souls immediately rush to God. At this place, about 300 dead people are burned every day. Ritual fires have not gone out here for a minute for 3.5 thousand years.
Holy places. Bethlehem, Palestine
Photo source: fineartamerica.com Bethlehem is a small Palestinian town that is dear to the heart of every Christian. Here, on a magical clear night, a new star lit up in the sky, and the Angels announced to the shepherds guarding their flocks about the birth of the Savior of mankind. Three eastern sorcerer kings sent their feet here to present gifts and worship the King of the World. And it is here that the Basilica of the Nativity of Christ is located, which thousands of believers visit every day with trembling in their hearts.
The first small temple at the birthplace of the Savior was erected back in 323 by Queen Helena. This church burned down during the uprising that took place in Samaria. About 200 years later, Emperor Justinian, having received a request for the restoration of the holy house from Sava the Consecrated, decided to build a new temple, which has survived virtually unchanged to this day.
Photo source: travelujah.com The main entrance to the basilica is very low and narrow. The church consists of a prayer hall in the shape of a cross, which includes five naves, and a small Cave of the Nativity, which has two entrances. It is here, in the dungeon, that the main shrine temple - the birthplace of the Savior, indicated by a star, and the manger in which Mary carefully laid the newborn Jesus. To get to the grotto, pilgrims wait for several hours, reading prayers and preparing themselves for the meeting with the shrine.
Church of St. Nicholas, Türkiye
Photo source: tatilvillam.com In Turkey there are many Christian shrines. One of the most visited of them is the Church of St. Nicholas. It is located in the small town of Demre, located in the province of Antalya about three kilometers from the ruins of the ancient city of the World, where around 270 AD. e. was born the greatest Nikolai Wonderworker (Myra). Here he subsequently served as a bishop in the church he created.
Since childhood, Nikolai dedicated his life to serving the Lord. Around 300 AD. e., having become the bishop of Myra, he began to preach. Then an extraordinary event occurred - a miracle that Nikolai performed, resurrecting a dead sailor during a raging storm. The people were filled with faith in the spiritual power of the clergyman.
Around 343 AD. e. Nikolai died. The last refuge of the great man, who was canonized after his death, was a white marble sarcophagus installed in the temple in which the Wonderworker served.
Photo source: etxt.ru/elenawiet.html Even after the death of the Saint, his relics healed the sick. In 1087, the remains of the Wonderworker were stolen by the Venetians and transported to the Italian city of Bari, where they are currently located. But even today, thousands of pilgrims come to Turkish Demre to kneel before the place where Nicholas of Myra rested. The surviving sarcophagus of the Saint is located in the south nave of the basilica.
In conclusion, I would like to remind you what rules of behavior you should not forget about when visiting holy places. Even if you came here as a tourist and not a pilgrim, you should respect the feelings of believers and comply with the necessary requirements. Women's hair, arms, neckline and legs above the knees must be covered; shorts and T-shirts are unacceptable for men. Carefully read the rules of photography - sometimes it is prohibited. If you want to enter the mosque, be sure to remove your shoes first. And please always turn off your cell phones.
