I drove north from San Diego along Highway 1 and stopped at Swamiji’s Beach, the last beach in the area with free access and parking. These are the steps that lead down the cliffside to the water, located near the Self-Realization Fellowship Center in Encinitas, California.
As I look back at my journal, I realize that this was the first time I had an experience where a new presence arrived with Radha and Krishna, helping to integrate things into my energetic system. I was also having deeply peaceful meditations by the ocean, feeling the immense softness there. While sitting by the ocean, Radha and Krishna guided me to hold onto that softness and settle into it. The spot where I sat felt steady, imbued with this peaceful, gentle softness. I felt drawn to remove my shoes, and though I hesitated at first, once I did, I felt myself expand in all directions, merging with the vast softness and gentleness around me. It was as though I entered a new level of integration, with the ocean's softness and the presence of Radha and Krishna.
The next day, I continued to do extra japa mantra chanting, supporting my integration. With the ocean’s energy, I began to feel a more decisive version of myself emerging, marked by significant growth in patience and compassion. Radha and Krishna continued to work on clearing blocks within my system during this time, aiding in my integration as I wandered up the coast toward Los Angeles over the next few days.
