Iva Naskova, a Nebula psychic, commented on the study:

“Spirituality, often defined as seeking a connection with something greater than oneself, can influence our daily lives and shift our perspectives. This sense of connection can be nurtured in various ways, from yoga to tarot card readings.

“This study highlights which cities are better suited for practicing spirituality than others and emphasizes that religion isn’t always the motivation for practicing spirituality in daily routines, as seen through those who connect with spirituality through yoga or crystal rituals.

“Thanks to the influence of social media, there has been a noticeable rise in people seeking to practice spirituality, particularly those within younger generations. Tarot card readers on platforms like TikTok and Instagram have encouraged others to take an interest in daily horoscopes and zodiac signs.

“It will be interesting to see if cities take this rise in spirituality into account and whether we’ll see more crystal shops and yoga studios opening across America.”
