<h1>Sacred Travel: A Spiritual Journey</h1> <br>I always hated it when people came back from a trip and then proceeded to talk about nothing else but that trip for the next six months. Well, I've become one of them...sorta. About a year ago I set out on a spiritual journey to reclaim all the pieces of myself I had ignored, hurt, and lost. I know that spiritual travel is intense, but I just can't even begin to describe what it was like to have this experience, although I've certainly been trying. In part, my sharing comes out of a desire to tell people about my own joyful self-reclamation and share the power of the experience; and in part, I tell people because I want to encourage them to go on their own spiritual pilgrimage. <br><br>It isn't enough to just go on living, thinking that you will change in all the ways you want to. Sometimes, you have to sort of cold-shock yourself, much like you do the batteries on your phone. I mean, I restart my computer all the time when it starts acting weird. Why not do the same thing for myself, on a personal level. My trip was not something I just did out of the blue. I had been feeling the need to get away and really spend some time with myself. I wanted to get to know myself and do the healing that I have been needing to do for so long. I kept having visions of myself dancing on a beach on some foreign shore to music I'd never heard before. <br><br>My trip wasn't all parties on the beach of course, although those were certainly fun. I also took classes and workshops while I was there and learned so much more than I ever could have imagined I would. Is it cheesy to say that I'm a completely different person? Because I am, I absolutely am. I am not somebody who is comfortable following their intincts and listening to their higher self. I know who I am and what I want and I am no longer afraid to ask for it. Now, this change wasn't made overnight, of course. I had some pretty amazing experiences that awakened some very deep concepts and ideas in me that I had to confront. I have worked very hard to remain aware of what I believe is my own highest truth.<br><br>When I came home, I expected everyone to immediately see how different I was and to respect the new me. That didn't exactly happen right away. People treated me as they always had, but this time, I was ready for it. I refused to be a doormat and began to tell people how I wanted to be treated and they listened. Many complimented me on my newfound self-confidence. Every day I sit down and do a meditation. Sometimes I just sit and think on all I learned and how I incorporate that into my life, and other times I simply just sit and listen. It is one of the things I learned how to do while traveling and I've never stopped. I think that the practice of that meditation is one of the best things that I brought back home with me. Now that I've done my initial healing, I can't wait to go on other spiritual journeys and see what else is out there for me to learn.<br> <h2>About the Author</h2> Written by Melissa Bryson.
