The Focus is on the Journey, not the destination!

                                                                                         

Everyone seeks some kind of satisfaction when travelling overseas, from a business deal going right, to thrilling adventures and sports, or personally I prefer relaxing by the beach sipping a pina colada while watching the sunset. However it’s time for everyone to step back and make room for the new kid on the block, “The Spiritual Tourist’. Spiritual and religious tourism is the fastest growing travel ingredient according to the World Travel Organization with over 300 million people seeking for inner peace or a connection to nature while on holidays.

Spiritual Tourism uses the tools from various religions to help create a sense of pleasure, enlightenment and love. It offers a chance to experience, discover and transform yourself while visiting sacred sites, witness rituals, yoga or meditation, spa treatments, an insight on astrology or mythology, a physical challenge, religious or cultural fascination or just a much-needed break from reality to repair your inner soul.

If Spiritual Tourism is something you feel like you need, especially in the time of the economy crisis, you can travel as far as Africa, or for those on a budget it can be found in our very own backyard in the magic of the Kimberly and its aboriginal inheritance of Australia. Ireland takes you on a fairytale of holy discoveries with an essence of healing, peace and wholeness to your life. Africa is renowned for it’s up close and personal experiences with nature. Yet the best place known for spiritual tourism is India. It is the land of many Masters, legends, religion and traditions and of course love, where else did the Kama Sutra originate from!

Personally I have never searched for a spiritual holiday intentionally, but every holiday has somehow changed my perspective on life and how I should live it. But it seems that new-found wisdom I may have gained on a holiday slowly melts away when life’s worries find its way back to me. Maybe it’s time to book that self discovery holiday and make a true impact on my own life.
