Being known as a spiritual person many may think is something to not brag about. Many people I speak to about it say that a lot of stigma is attached to the idea, thus putting many people off. However, I realised while travelling the world just how many more doors were opening up to me just by having an open heart, appreciating the moments I was in (not rushing away my time) and connecting to energy around me. It’s so easy to allow other people’s energy to rub off on you – whether that be for the good or for the bad, so it’s important we protect ourselves.
I find that when I meditate or even pray in bed at night I find that my mind offers me new ideas and solutions to my problems that were otherwise not there. Have faith, have a warm heart and always be nice to people, then you will never go wrong in life!!
Something I recommend to anyone while travelling is to travel write. For me, it really allowed me to express myself and learn about other cultures. Not only that, but I could share my experiences with the world and others would be educated by my explorations, which is a great bonus.
If society were run by community rather than a governed system full of rules and boundaries, everyone would probably be a lot more spiritual. It’s about accepting your friend, family or even stranger for who they are, or who they want to be. Give them space to breath and be – we should never try to change a person.
So open up your heart and your mind and don’t restrict yourself to this world’s beautiful and amazing possibilities. We need to make history as a person, even if that means leaving a family legacy behind.
Your life is your book – so write it the way you want it. 🙂
