What Makes a Person or a Place Holy?

What makes a place holy: positive energy gathered over time. In temples, churches and mosques, prayers and mantras create a strong positive vibration, and the balance of Yin and Yang concentrates prana. Varanasi is holy for the same reason. Holy signs like Om, seen in deep meditation, and a little temple in the home: years of daily prayer make any place holy. Holy people, whose crown opens to a positive vibration, and statues as mirrors: they help the mind trust itself, until it sees no difference between God and the self.
