What healed me the most coming to Mt. Shasta starting in 1974?

 I had been raised mostly in Los Angeles County from age 6 to 21 first in Tujunga up against the Angeles National Forest and the mountains there.

So, I really needed to find a place to "Calm Down" from all the time and college and work in the City areas of Los Angeles especially Glendale where I had lived from 1956 to 1969 at age 21.

So, it wasn't until I was 26 and I had married and my son was born that I first moved up to Mt. Shasta with my first wife. However, I got sunstroke planting trees because I wasn't adapted enough to living in the mountains yet from San Diego where I had been going to college then. So, after sunstroke we moved back to First San Diego and then moved to Hilo Hawaii. 

So, I wasn't able to move back to mt. Shasta with my first wife and baby son until 1976 when my son was 2 and I lived there for at least a year at this time so we were much more successful making it there then.

However, what healed me the most was just being here and wandering the wilderness there with no one there most of the time. Wandering the rivers and trails and skiing in the wintertime (mostly cross country skiing up on mt. Shasta and hiking the trails in the wilderness and Swimming in lakes like Castle Lake And Lake Siskiyou in the summers there.

This healed all the city stuff I had been dealing with growing up in Los Angeles County all those years.

When you visit a place like Mt. Shasta it takes a few days or weeks to slow yourself down to a country vibe where you are at peace here. 

So, only likely if you can come here and stay over 1 or 2 weeks can you keep this "HEALING PRESENCE" alive ongoing (at least at first).

However, now, all these years later I can often keep most of this peace even if I go some place else like San Francisco BAy area or Santa Barbara or Orange County to visit my cousin and his family or San Diego to visit one of our daughters and her family or traveling to Hawaii with my wife and friends usually about once a year.

So, this healing presence one can enter into is amazing when you visit Mt. Shasta for any length of time at all. just being here is incredibly healing for anyone open to it.
