Real Treats To Awaken Your Spirit: The Heros Journey

By Sandra Fisher


There are numerous ways you can boost your spirituality. The importance of the heros journey is not to be ignored since it has been shown that those who have stronger sense of spirituality are happier overall. But in these frantic times it can be easy to lose your sense of purpose in life and feel spiritually empty.

If you are constantly stressed out, and find you do not have the space, or the time in your home to practice your spirituality and enhance your sense of connectedness to the universe, a spiritual retreat may be just the answer you are looking for. Some people find their purpose through creativity, others through nature. Commonly, many men and women gain a great deal of spiritual fulfillment from retreats that incorporate both yoga and healthy diets. Whatever you are searching for, there is a retreat out there for you.

Whilst there is a strong tendency to think of spirituality as something reserved to ardent yogis and gurus. However, the natural process of being creative is a very spiritual one. If your creative abilities have been suffering due to stress and city distractions, why not consider a creative retreat? Any artist, writer, of musician knows that having the solitude to work on their art all day, free from distractions is the best way to get in touch with their most vivid ideas. Even if you are not a professional artist, discovering that your creative ability is far greater than you imagined is a surefire way to waken up your spirit and consciousness to the fact that you are living with a purpose and that life has meaning, You may even discover your next career!

For some, the peace and serenity found in the practice of relaxation, meditation, and yoga is the ultimate spirit refresher. It is for this reason that yoga retreats abound. Not only are they widely available in the US, but Thailand and India are popular locations for these retreats too. Here you will have days, weeks, or even months to practice body strengthening and energizing yoga, eat healthy foods, and spend hours in meditation and relaxation. The focus you will gain from these retreats will ensure that you come to the realisation of what is important in life and reconnect with your sense of meaning in life.

Do you spend your whole day surrounded by people, working a stressful job, and then coming home to a noisy environment? It is easy to lose yourself in all of this chaos. This has lead to an increasing interest in solitude retreats. They basically are exactly what the title says - a retreat where you spend most, or even all of your time alone. No cell phones, emails, internet, or other people to bother you. Perhaps the idea of not speaking and basically being a hermit may not immediately appeal to you. However, it could give you the time you need to focus on yourself. Your dreams and aspirations may have gotten lost in the busy daily life you lead. To find your purpose and be true to yourself requires time for contemplation. Solitude retreats are the best way to accomplish this.

Another type of retreat gaining in popularity are health retreats. Given that doctors now acknowledge there is a strong mind-body connection, it is no surprise that a healthier body leads to better wellbeing and less stress. It also results in higher levels of happiness. This can only promote spirituality as when you are happier about your life, you feel you have more purpose. Health retreats have the primary focus of diet. They encourage full body detoxes which are accomplished by administering juice diets, vegetarian diets, and probiotic foods. As you lose all those toxins which are clogging up vital energy paths in your body, and generally making you feel sluggish, you feel lighter, better, and healthier. These retreats are really worth a try if junk food has become your staple recently.

The kinds of retreats available out there are endless. There are relationship retreats, health retreats, nature retreats and more. Whether you want to focus on improving your marriage, your health, or just find some quiet time, there is a retreat for you.

It is clear that whichever retreat you choose to go on, there is a spiritual value to be gained. You can connect with the universe through creativity, or up your life satisfaction ratio by improving your diet. Perhaps you simply need some peace and quiet. The common thread is that you will find purpose and meaning in life. This will lead to greater spiritual wellbeing and teach you skills you can draw from when your spirituality is feeling a little lost.
