Sedona, Northern Arizona.
According to findings from Psychic Sofa, Sedona in Northern Arizona is one of the most popular destinations around the world, which tourists visit due to its ability to heal people spiritually.
Wanderlusters are looking to book a life-changing adventure that allows them to experience culture and authentic food on a new level, especially as most of us have been unable to travel abroad for a whole year. However, when it comes to booking a holiday outside of the UK, Europe or U.S , we have a tendency to browse destinations that allow us to relax and unwind at the beach or pool. In comparison, others crave something more adventurous, which will enable them to grow spiritually and reconnect with people, and themselves.
According to findings from Psychic Sofa, Sedona in Northern Arizona is one of the most popular destinations around the world, which tourists visit due to its ability to heal people spiritually. The energy vortex found there enhances mediation and can deepen your relationship with your soul. At Michigan's Mackinac Islands, however, calming lake waters, and scenic mountain views allow people to absorb powerful forms of energy so they can relax and connect with nature. Other destinations that are popular to visit in the U.S. are based in Northern California, Arizona, and Oregon. Mount Shasta, Monument Valley and Crater Lake are locations that allow people to experience spiritual awakenings and appreciate life as they take in the high vibrational energies from these natural spots.

Many of these locations have a lot of mystery and history associated with them, marking them as important places where the human world meets the spiritual world – they are perfect locations for anyone wanting to experience their own spiritual awakening.”
