My Awakening!

Hi, my name is Cara. I live and work in San Juan Bautista, California. It became apparent to me in 2022 that I suffered through some, what I'd classify as, major childhood traumas. For me I painted my childhood as a fairy story except for when my parents divorced at the age of 10 and when I moved to California from a small town in Pennsylvania to live with my Dad at 14 years old. From there on I had a pretty tumultuous life up until I had my 1st child, Brianna at 21. I settled down, got married, had 2 more children (Hannah and Nathanael), worked and built what I thought was the life that would fulfill and make me happy. At 30 I left my husband and moved to San Juan Bautista from Aromas (10 minutes away) and bought a house. I pursued a career in real estate after coaching gymnastics for 17 years. I did well and worked a lot. Through the years I opened and operated multiple businesses to be able to provide for my family but also had what I thought was freedom to be there for my children when needed. I struggled all these years from severe depression without the aid of prescription pills or counseling. It was hard for me to understand why I felt so down when I felt like I had such a good life with all my material needs taken care of, my health and the health of my children. My personal relationships were unfulfilling and a roller coaster ride. My Father passed away in 2018 after I had been taking care of him for 9 months from alcohol related issues and I dove into a bar business to keep me busy while still running several other businesses. His passing was the beginning of a deep spiritual awakening that I continue to journey thru. When the bar was forced to close during the pandemic I had just gone through a very traumatic event with an intimate partner and I was going into a time of personal solitude. During the 2nd shut down I left the state of California and spent an extended amount of time in Florida to revive my soul with the help of the Sun and the Ocean. This became a time of deep personal reflection into my past and traumas. I began to forgive and truly love myself. After a few years I felt better than I had in many Moons. Then things got back to "normal". I had to work harder then before just to maintain the things I had acquired during this life. Years went by and I felt happiness slipping away. In December of 2024 I hit a new bottom, as I felt, in life. I no longer thought about the ways in which I would take myself off this planet but prayed for the Ultimate Source to just remove me. The feeling of belonging in existence here on Earth was gone. I kept saying that Winter, I'm not even suppose to be here. People thought that it was because I hadn't gone on my annual pilgrimage to Florida but it was deeper then that. So I thought I needed to go to rehab but settled for a self love retreat. I felt called to Sedona, Arizona and googled retreats. Everything fell into place and off I went two weeks later. I participated in 3 days of spiritual healing that will forever hold inside of me. The insights and knowledge I received tipped me over to the side of enlightenment and pure bliss which will be forever ingrained into my DNA. The Universe said to me heal yourself and help others heal, love yourself and love others, be and remain present and let go of your material labels. And here I am now........in March 2025 I opened Mystic Health & Wellness Center and have been following the guidance I had been given. Do things sometimes feel rough again? Yes, but do I have the tools and insight to navigate them? YES! We together are a community and as a community we can be there for each other and remain connected and whole through that process. All I ask is come as you are and be open to what there is for you to learn on this journey!
