Many are awakening to the idea that we\u2019re here for our soul\u2019s growth, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/5-joseph-campbell-quotes-for-initiating-a-personal-heros-journey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">hero\u2019s journey<\/a>, on the planet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many are wondering how to go on spiritual journeys, whether that be within or on a physical level, to transcend personal limitations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travel is good for the soul because it&#8217;s symbolic of the inner journey of transformation. Think about it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we travel, we leave the comfort of the \u201cknown\u201d to enter the realm of the \u201cunknown.\u201d We knowingly undergo uncertainty to make it happen. We do so because, at the end of it all, it makes us stronger, more confident, and more able.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travel is a plunge, and using travel to explore various types of spirituality calls us even deeper out of our comfort zones. Thus, we can safely call spiritual travel the most ideal form of travel \u2014 and the form of travel that is more essential now than ever.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our prediction is that post-COVID, people will be seeking meaning in various areas of their life. This search will extend into travel experiences on an unprecedented level. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/2021-6-travel-quotes-to-reignite-wanderlust-after-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Wanderlust has been ignited<\/a> on a mass level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that we were all given time to slow down and ask what\u2019s important during various stay-at-home orders worldwide. Dealing with illness, job loss, and other difficulties proved challenging, of course. But these challenges brought us into the mythological \u201cunderworld,\u201d a place to feel affliction as a transformational, rather than debilitating, force.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s ironic how we\u2019ve awakened to the idea of a life full of adventure during a time when travel restrictions are rampant for better or worse. Regardless, in the coming future, we\u2019re likely to see an uptick of people traveling to go hiking in nature, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/current-tours\/shiva-dancing-sacred-south-india-with-andrew-harvey-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">visit India travel destinations<\/a>, or to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/current-tours\/the-hidden-side-of-egyptian-temples-with-freddy-silva-Oct-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">see the Great Pyramids of Giza<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to go on spiritual journeys<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer to this will be different for various people. It might look like a consistent morning meditation and movement practice. For others: simple day trips to local nature spots. Some people desire a&nbsp; full-blown spiritual journey abroad. In that case, you may wish to look into booking a journey with us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reiterate, a spiritual journey can look like a number of inner practices or outer explorations. It\u2019s really whatever you put your mind to in order to grow on a mental and spiritual level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Deepak Chopra explains, people are simply looking for a reconnection to existence. And they\u2019re doing so in the form of seeking out various types of spirituality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teachers like Freddy Silva,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/tour-leader\/andrew-harvey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Andrew Harvey<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/tour-leader\/phil-cousineau\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Phil Cousineau (opens in a new tab)\">Phil Cousineau<\/a>,\u00a0and Puma Quispe Singona are helping us remember that there exists ancient traditions with extensive knowledge in personal transformation and universal connection.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s time we embark on the soul\u2019s quest for growth, making mindful and spiritual travel more essential now than ever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>~Jacob Lopez, staff writer<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visiting sacred sites, studying sacred mythology, meeting new people abroad, and learning from spiritual teachers are all factors driving people into spiritual travel.
