According to those who care about such things, in Arizona and New Mexico there is a geological phenomenon known as the “crystal vortex”. Underneath the desert, such people claim, is the largest growth of crystals and gemlike things on the continent. Because crystals are known for their properties of vibration, aura-mending, and general healing, this area has a disproportionately large amount of, well, good vibes. This is why so many new-age type people are drawn to the place, and why so much strange rugged individualism and “alternative lifestyles” flourish there.
For a long time I was obsessed with wanting to visit the crystal vortex. But then I realized that all I had to do was listen to Black Mountain.
This video is for the song Wucan, off their latest album In The Future.

I'd say the reason that Arizona and New Mexico have so many good vibes is because of the great Native presence there that has been taking care of that land since time immemorial.
So thanks go to the Hopi, Navajo, Tewa, Apache, Yaqui, Pima (and I'm just naming a few!) nations in these states who have long been teaching the power of connection to the land and what it can do for you if you pay attention to it.
