Your guide to grounding, reconnecting, and feeling something deeper in nature
Some places just feel different.
The air is softer, time slows down, and even your breathing shifts.
You don’t need to believe in energy vortexes or spiritual portals to feel a sense of calm and renewal in certain natural places.
Here are five destinations in the U.S. where I’ve personally felt more grounded, present, and reconnected — both with nature and with myself.
🌄 1. Mount Shasta, California
Often called the “Root Chakra of the Earth,” Mount Shasta is known for its grounding, stabilizing energy. Whether or not you believe in spiritual power spots, there’s something about this mountain that just feels peaceful.
My favorite places:
- Mossbrae Falls – a hidden, misty wall of water in the trees
- Lake Siskiyou – calm, quiet, and perfect for reflection
- Sisson Meadow – a short, gentle walk with a stunning view of the mountain
🧘 2. Sedona, Arizona
Sedona is probably the most famous spiritual destination in the U.S. Thanks to its dramatic red rock formations and multiple energy vortex sites, it attracts healers, creatives, and curious travelers alike.
Don’t miss:
- Cathedral Rock – powerful, steep, and unforgettable
- Bell Rock – an iconic, balanced energy point
- Airport Mesa at sunset – for views and stillness
Sedona’s energy feels outward — it invites you to open up and expand.
🌺 3. Hawaii (Oʻahu & Big Island)
Hawai‘i is filled with sacred places — from ancient temples (heiau) to volcanoes and rainforest trails.
The mana (life force) of these islands is undeniable, even if you don’t have words for it.
Suggested experiences:
- Visit a heiau (ancient Hawaiian temple) and learn about its history
- Watch sunrise at Lanikai Beach in silence
- Reflect at Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island, where new earth is forming
The energy here is gentle but powerful — softening you into presence.
🌵 4. Joshua Tree, California
With its otherworldly rock formations and wide open sky, Joshua Tree is all about stillness.
It’s the kind of place where you suddenly notice your thoughts getting quieter — and your body relaxing.
What to do:
- Stargaze in silence (this desert has some of the best skies!)
- Try a sound bath at the Integratron
- Take a sunrise hike through the cacti and boulders
This isn’t loud energy — it’s subtle and deeply internal.
✨ 5. Your Own Quiet Place
You don’t always need a plane ticket to feel connected.
A quiet beach, a local forest trail, or even a sunny balcony with no phone can offer you that same kind of reset.
Try this:
- Take a walk with no music or podcast
- Journal outside with your morning tea
- Just sit. And breathe.
💭 Final Thoughts
You don’t have to be a spiritual person to benefit from spiritual places.
Whether you’re chasing energy or just need a break from your busy mind, these destinations invite you to breathe deeper, slow down, and listen more.
