Have you ever wondered why people living in different parts of the country speak differently? It is all in the personality of the land they live on. Each area is alive and vibrates with its own unique energy. Where we live often determines how we feel and how we talk. The people and the land have an intimate relationship that feeds us energy and Life Force. As we are so is the land. As the land is so are the people who live there.
Many ancient cultures recognized the special energy in each land and honored them as spiritual guardians. This is why in Japan there are so many shrines. This comes from the ancient times when the shamans of the land were more aware of the importance of honoring these gods for the benefit of the people. Every valley has a different guardian and interestingly the people speak with a dialect that was different from the people who were living over the mountain in a different valley.
