Finding Peace in LA

Finding peace in LA. Seems easy, right? Miles of sandy beaches, tons of trails in the Santa Monica mountains…

What I find easier and why!

LA is huge. The beaches and some trails can be swamped with people, too. For me, finding peace and tranquility for my headspace, there is only 1 place I go— the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine. It’s located at 11790 Sunset Blvd, Pacific Palisades, 90272. This small park has a lake (hence the name) with a path around it. This path has several small dead ends with chairs to sit in. Some paths lead to flower patches, some to better sights of the waterfalls or views of the boathouse, or just an area to mediate.

I find that going here a few times a month helps clear my head. Leave the phone off and just be. At the end of the short path, stop in the gift shop and grab a bracelet or some incense!
