These five top destinations will provide luxury vacations that are both relaxing and rejuvenating for your body and soul.

Peru

Peru has long been considered a center of power. According to James Redfield’s best-seller “The Celestine Prophecy”, it is said that the country sits on a line or energy pathway. Since the publication of the book thousands upon thousands of pilgrims have been to Machu Picchu. Luxury tours are available as a result. You can see Ayahuasca Healings – iowaska ceremony on our website.

However, Peru’s magic is not something that has just been discovered, but has been there for thousands of years. Peru still contains remnants of the Inca empire Cuzco that worshipped Mother Earth the goddess Pachamama.

Pachamama continues to be worshipped. This makes magic-making and witchcraft very popular. In Peru, witchcraft has been combined with Catholicism to create one religion.

You will find witchcraft markets on every street corner, selling potions as well as spells. And brujos or curanderos are numerous. Curanderos use Pachamama’s healing power to cure their patients. Brujos may be found everywhere in Peru, but Huacho Piura and Selva are the best areas to find them.

Jerusalem

Jerusalem is Israel’s capital. It plays a key role in Judaism as well Christianity and Islam.

Jerusalem is the center of Christianity. This is because Jesus was brought to Jerusalem in the New Testament shortly after his birth. Jerusalem is also home the Cenacle, located on Mount Zion. It is believed that this is the place where Jesus’ Last Supper was held. Jerusalem also has Golgotha, the central Christian landmark.

Jerusalem is sacred to Judaism. King David made it his capital in 11th century BCE. Jerusalem houses the Solomon’s Temple and Second Temple. The Temple Mount, the center of spiritual significance to the Jewish people is known as the “Holy of Holies.”

Jerusalem is the third-holiest place in Islam. The belief that Muhammad was taken one night from Mecca, to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, to ascend to Heaven is what gives the city its lasting status in Islam.

India

India’s traditional symbol is its lotus flower. This symbol represents transformation, which grows from the soil but is unaffected.

India is home many sacred sites, or tirathas, which are crossroads between the spiritual and physical spheres. These are the seven holy cities:

Egypt

Ancient Egyptians believed in the Afterlife and death. Egyptians believed that any pharaoh who died would have to take everything he needed for his Afterlife with him — this is why mummification was so important. The pyramids were considered “where gods were birthed” by ancient Egyptians.
