A Trip to Ise. . . 大阪光明レイキ

Heeelllloooooo Everybody.

I have to apologize for my long break in posts. I have no excuses except for that the long Golden Week has made me just plain lazy. I did have a great holiday though, so I love you, I'm sorry, PLEASE FORGIVE ME :) thank you.

I spent several days in Ise the weekend after the holiday. Due to it being the weekend after a long holiday the crowds were very small and it made it so easy to enjoy the wonders of Ise Jingu. I have to say that the energy there was one of the most amazing that I have found in Japan. There is such a feeling of profound peace and serenity there. The age and variety of the trees in its forest speak volumes as to the natural wisdom that is to be found at its core. I also washed my feet in the water of the Isuzu River which surounds the Shrine. It was so refreshing and revitalizing.

Even driving the highway on the way to Ise was quiet and relaxing and full of green. I felt so blessed to be in the presence of such tranquility all weekend. No wonder it has been such a great week for me in general.

If you ever get a chance to go, I recommend it as one of the top places in Japan. Of course I am in love with the waters of our own Minoh River and have discovered many power spots of my own here, but Ise is defintely right up there with Minoh if not surpassing it.

Until next time. . .
