There’s no place like home – and for me, that’s California. I’ve been drawn to the energy of the Golden State for as long as I can remember.
Here’s how my journey began. When I was just four years old, my mother was walking me to my nursery school several blocks from my house. It was along this route that we ran into a gentleman who asked my mother for directions. The man mentioned he had just moved to New York from California for a job. My mother assisted him and he was on his way. As we continued our walk, I remember looking up to my mother and saying: “I’m going to live in California one day!” Now, I was so young that I really had no concept of California, but deep inside I knew I was meant to reside there.
Twenty years later I did just that. I headed to San Francisco and received my degree from San Francisco State University. Before this I had never been to San Francisco or California, but the moment I got off the plane I stepped into an “energy” of light frequency which I never experienced anywhere else on the planet. Now, being a very seasoned world traveler, I know that each city and country has a unique energetic grid associated with it. Some are very strong and pure and some are dark and dense. But nothing in my experience sang more to my soul that good old California.
Good Vibrations.
It’s significant that gold miners came here decades ago in search of wealth and a new life. Gold is indeed one of the highest spiritual vibrations in our spectrum. Did you know that there are more swamis, Zen masters and monks who have secured acres of land in this oasis than any other “state” in America? Welcome to God’s country!
Other interesting facts of California. It is known as the state of “spiritual quests”, it is known to have its own “consciousness” and many have spoken that the people are so evolved spiritually in many areas that it could be its own country.
In my old neighborhood of Laguna Beach, the whole of the underground was formed on Quartz crystal. For decades it’s been a haven for artists and home to some amazing creative festivals. I recently moved further south, to Encinitas, and was delighted to discover the huge “spiritual aspects” here. There is the Seaside Spirit center, the Yokananda center of self-realization, along with hundreds of yoga studios, mindfulness centers and fresh juice and natural food stores – more than any other county in the state!
