About Vishali

In 2013, after 34 years as a registered nurse in the Bay Area, I took a leap of faith and moved to Sedona, Arizona. I had fallen in love with its beauty and energy, but I had no idea what I would do here. I only knew I was done with nursing—and somehow, I was being drawn to Sedona.

It wasn’t my first leap of faith.

In my twenties, I began sensing that there was more to life than what I could see and experience on the surface. That search eventually led me to a meditation master and to several transformative years living in an ashram in India, immersed in meditation, yoga, Eastern philosophy, and service.

I had some extraordinary experiences there—deep peace, profound love, moments that seemed to transcend ordinary life. But they never lasted. And I made the mistake so many of us make: I compared my experiences to everyone else’s. When other people described visions, celestial music, or extraordinary sensations, I wondered what I was doing wrong.

Eventually, I discovered something that changed everything: the experience isn’t the goal.

Experiences come and go. Peace, clarity, and the truth of who we are aren’t dependent on having a particular experience—or on making our lives look a certain way. The spiritual journey, for me, became less about seeking something “out there” and more about learning to recognize what is already within us.
