The Impact of a Spiritual Journey

I hate to be one of those people- you know,the kind that come back and then spend the next three years telling everyone about their spiritual journey and how it changed their life. However, I find that it is quite hard not to want to tell everyone about my amazing journey. In part, I simply want to be able to share with them what I experienced and let them know how changed my life is, but I also want to encourage those around me to engage in spiritual travel of their own. It isn't enough just to live and expect that you will have the time and energy to really change your life. I think that you sometimes need a really big experience to help you better understand what's going on in the greater scheme of things.

My first trip was just something I decided to do on a whim. I made plans to visit Bali. At first, it was just going to be a vacation, but while I was looking at different possible companies to contact for the trip, I came across a program that combined a trip to Bali with classes on the Akashic Records. Even though I really didn't understand what the Records were at that time, I was inexplicably (or so it seemed) pulled towards that trip. I now realize that what I felt pulling me was my high self- a part of me that I am now much more comfortable listening to than I was before I went on my trip. I think I may begin taking time out of my life at least every other year to make a spiritual pilgrimage to whatever place calls to me.

Anyway, getting back to my most recent spiritual journey, I came away from the experience feeling like I had been somehow reborn. I had all of this amazing information floating around in my head, I was revitalized and connected in with the divine plane. I can't stress enough what a huge impression my trip had on me. It wasn't just the journey, though. It was so much more than that- I came home and I didn't lose that magical feeling. At first I was full nigh unto bursting. I felt as if I was walking around with the secrets of the universe tucked away in my head, bouncing around my skull. I was amazed that other people couldn't tell how different I was just by looking at me.

Now, the initial glow has certainly faded, but the fire has not gone out, and I'm not sure it ever will. I practice what I learned every day, and when I fall off that path, I climb right back on. I can't wait to head out on my next journey because I just know it's going to be just as amazing. There may never be another experience quite like it, but feel certain that each and every trip I take will be spiritually enriching. The idea that I will continue to learn and grow for the next however-many-years of my life is just heart warming.
