We all know Arianna Huffington as the larger-than-life media personality: president and co-founder of the Huffington Post, best-selling author of 15 books (her The Fourth Instinct: The Call of the Soul states that our drive for spirituality is as great as those for sex, survival, and power), former candidate for Governor of California after years as a politician’s wife, and “the Sir Edmund Hillary (the first Caucasian to top Mount Everest) of social climbers”

Posted at 08:00h in Catherine Auman, LMFT, Spiritual Los Angeles by Catherine Auman 0 Comments

Levitating saints, a swami materializing a palace in the Himalayas, the woman yogi who never eats: these are just a few of the wonders encountered by over 4 million readers of Paramahansa Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi.

Most day-trippers to Ojai (pronounced oh-high) don’t identify as being on a spiritual quest, though nearly everyone will contend there’s something about the vibe.
