Many people may have already heard of the term, “spiritual power spot.” Simply put, this refers to places around the earth where powerful energy flows. Since this "power" is invisible, you may think that no matter where you go, you’ve never felt any special energy from a place. However, think of a place such as a forest, park, the beach, lake, a library, your favorite café, or a place you visited for vacation where you felt comfortable? That is precisely the “power of a place” to you.

There are a number of spiritual power spots in the world that have been cherished since ancient times. These places are said to have strong magnetic fields that are overflowing with enormous amounts of energy— energy that is unique to that particular place. Perhaps ancient people understood the energy emitted by the lands and ruins that still remain today such as Machu Picchu in Peru and the pyramids in Egypt. Not only ruins, but also a wide range of areas and nature, such as Mt. Fuji in Japan and Ayers Rock in Australia are also included. These lands are more than just personal favorites, as those who visit can equally experience their energy even if you don't feel anything.

Let’s take a moment to consider the power of the land. There is a wealth of information and articles available about spiritual power spots scattered across the globe. Each spiritual power spot emits a unique type of energy, so you can discover which energy aligns with what you are seeking at this moment.

Once you begin researching, you may find yourself irresistibly drawn to a particular location, and before you know it, a new travel plan may start to develop. The important thing is to take action by researching and learning about it.

Ancient ruins and vast natural power spots often offer visitors a sense of being transported to another dimension, far removed from the everyday world. The experience can be truly transformative.

Shifting to a more relatable topic— is the place where you currently live the same as where you were born and raised, or have you moved elsewhere?

For many people, opportunities to relocate arise with life transitions such as entering university, starting a career, or getting married. During childhood, changes in your parents’ circumstances may also lead to a shift in where you live. Furthermore, people are sometimes guided by unexpected circumstances to change their residence, or they may find themselves living in places they never anticipated.

Whatever the circumstances, the place where you live is ultimately a choice you make. While it may feel as though you are being guided, you are, in fact, moving to a place that aligns with who you truly are, drawn there by meaningful connections. Some people choose to remain in the area where they were born and raised, living there all their lives. From this perspective, doesn’t it feel as though your relationship with the place you live is destined in some way? Doesn’t the city you now call home feel endearing to you? That sentiment is a sign that you are gracefully attuned to the energy of the land.

Let’s talk about Sedona, which is very famous and popular all over the world. Some of you may have a trip to Sedona on your bucket list, and some of you may have already been there.

As many of you may already know, Sedona is one of the most famous spiritual power spots in the world. Countless people around the globe dream of visiting Sedona. When we think of Sedona, the word "vortex" often comes to mind. The energy of Sedona is believed to spiral up from the Earth, much like a tornado on a very windy day. This energy flows continuously, overflowing from the land every second. While some people may feel the energy of the entire city when they stand on Sedona’s land, others may experience it more intensely at specific locations. This ability to "feel" energy is something that can be cultivated in our everyday lives.

The entire city of Sedona exists as a spiritual power spot. The energy of Sedona is said to support and enhances your innate qualities, empowering you to live authentically, true to yourself, without pretending to be someone else, both in relation to yourself and others. In reality, the change may not feel drastic. Not everyone will experience a visible shift just by visiting Sedona. However, you may be influenced by its power—provided you are open to receiving the energy of the land.

Some people may experience an immediate change, while others may only receive the affect after a few years. Since this involves invisible, spiritual energy, it’s possible that the changes in the physical world might not be immediately apparent. If you’re interested in Sedona, it is encouraged to go with a sense of excitement and curiosity.

The energy of the land can be received not only by visiting, but also by enjoying the local produce or incorporating handmade items from the area into your daily life. When you return from your Sedona trip, some notable souvenirs you can purchase include items crafted from Sedona’s unique red clay, exquisite blankets woven by local artisans, beautiful crystals, and gently scented soaps. Each of these items carries the essence of Sedona’s powerful energy, allowing you to bring a piece of the land's vitality home with you.

The key point is what you personally prefer. Your ability to choose everything in your daily life trains you to build up your preference. This allows you to fully engage your senses. If you're at the beach, listen attentively to the sound of the waves. Each wave that comes is unique, never to return again. What does it sound like? When you visit an art gallery, take a moment to appreciate the colors in the painting before you. What colors are used? The colors were created with the artist’s soul, balanced in a way that can never be replicated.

In this way, opportunities to strengthen your ability to feel are woven into every moment of your life. Instead of trying to forcefully train your senses, simply relax and become aware of your feelings through your sensory receptors.

Nippon Kodo incense can be purchased in Sedona. In fact, incense stimulates your sense of smell, sight, and touch through the rising smoke, the light, the falling ash, the fragrance, and the lingering atmosphere after it has burned away, all while purifying the space. Moreover, as it is infused with the powerful energy of Sedona’s land, it makes a wonderful gift for yourself or for someone special.

It would be great to know that you have access to power spots close to home, right in your everyday surroundings. Where do you spend the majority of your time during the day? Is it home, work, school, or a space related to your hobbies or community activities? We are constantly influenced by and drawing upon the energy of the spaces we occupy, even if it happens unconsciously.

Take a moment to reflect—how do you feel when you’re in a place that feels comfortable, vibrant, clean, calming, and peaceful? What kind of impact do those places have on you? Conversely, consider spaces where you feel uneasy, unsettled by crowds, tense, or perhaps cramped or overly dark. Do you find yourself wanting to spend much time in those kinds of environments? Our surroundings have a profound effect on our emotions, energy levels, and overall well-being, shaping how we experience our daily lives.

When you reflect on this, it becomes clear how important the places where you spend most of your time are to your life. They have a significant impact on you. Even if there are countless cafes, restaurants, or supermarkets in your neighborhood, don’t you find that you tend to visit the same ones? Why? Because you like that place. The spaces we choose to spend time in—whether consciously or not—play a vital role in shaping our daily experiences and emotional states.

It’s obvious that returning home brings a sense of relief, allowing people to relax and unwind. This is because their home is typically organized in a way that suits their lifestyle, making it convenient and familiar as most of people’s actions at home are performed almost unconsciously.

The comfort and ease stem from the intimate familiarity we have with our personal spaces, allowing us to function smoothly without constant deliberation. The brain naturally seeks ease and efficiency, which is why our homes are organized in a way that makes daily life as effortless as possible. In other words, this state represents a harmony between the energy of your home as a space and your own personal energy. When this harmony exists, it creates a sense of ease and comfort.

However, if you find it difficult to relax or feel unsettled at home, it could indicate a lack of alignment which can make it hard to truly unwind and feel at peace. So, why not transform your beloved home into an even more powerful "power spot" by activating its energy?

To activate your home's energy means creating an environment where, even if you return home feeling exhausted, the space can rejuvenate you, help you recover from fatigue, and restore your energy in less time and with greater ease. Imagine your home becoming a place that effortlessly uplifts and revitalizes you every day.

The key point is purification. By removing unnecessary items and clearing the space, you allow the pure energy of the environment to flow freely, essentially returning it to a neutral state.

One of the methods we recommend for this process is sage.

We spend a significant amount of time at work, school, or within our communities during the day. What kind of emotions do these places bring you, after your home?

Take a look at the aspect of relationships. Some people may be fortunate enough to work or study with supportive colleagues, supervisors, teachers, or peers, and feel good about their time spent there. However, others may find themselves surrounded by people they don’t get along with, feel uncomfortable around, or struggle to express themselves fully, leading to moments of tension or discomfort. Even if it’s not every day, there are times when we encounter unpleasant experiences—this is completely normal. Since people also emit energy, you are inevitably influenced by the moods of those around you, as well as the language they use.

Now, looking at the layout of your workplace or school, there are limitations on what you can do with arrangement of space. In this case, how can we transform these spaces into power spots?

The key point is cleaning. After cleaning any space, doesn’t it feel refreshing to visually see the area looking neat and tidy? Cleaning effectively resets the space. Try cleaning a common area where someone may thank you for your extra effort. Cleaning can make your physical space transform into environment that carries the energy you find comfortable and uplifting.

Now, for those of you who occasionally think it would be nice to burn incense at the workplace or in your community, why not try finding an incense that suits you? It could even serve as a great way to deepen your connections with your colleagues or peers. Sharing an experience like that can create a sense of shared energy and foster a more harmonious atmosphere. Just make sure to choose an incense that everyone will find pleasant.

What’s your favorite place nearby? A café, a local park or somewhere with nature? Since it’s a place you already enjoy, it has likely already become a power spot for you. After all, when you go there, you feel good because it’s a place that lifts your spirits and recharges your energy, also makes you relax and be your true self.

Such places naturally carry a positive energy that resonates with you, making them your personal power spots. It would be great if you could always carry the energy of such a place with you. How can you bring that energy with you everywhere?

Try using a fragrant sachet. You can use your favorite incense or choose one that matches the energy of your favorite place. You can purchase a KAYURAGI fragrant sachet of your favorite fragrance or simply chop a small piece of incense and place it into a small pouch, then carry it with you. (The pouch is best made from natural materials like cotton, silk, or nonwoven fabric like a coffee filter.)

As you carry the pouch or the fragrant sachet, the soothing energy of your favorite place will be with you everywhere you go. It’s also nice to have different types of scents for variety, allowing you to change the mood whenever you like.

Usually, you would have to physically visit the place to experience its energy. However, when you cannot visit a place, you can tap into that energy simply by eating what is grown there or have something in your hands that were made in that location.

Imagine receiving a souvenir or gift from someone who visited a place where you’re not able to easily visit. When you receive it, do you think of the place where it came from? As soon as you turn your attention to where it came from, the energy of that place comes to you. It is a wonderful gift to be able to feel that energy through objects, even if the place is far away from you.
