Soul Satisfying Journeys: Tips for Your Travel
Our journeys are about making choices. Whether it is a choice about where to go,
how to go or when to go, the choice determines our outcome. Soul satisfying
journeys are mindful trips that include self-awareness and a look within
ourselves.
This pertains to any journey, be it from place to place, action to
action or decision to decision. The sum of our choices constitutes our life. The
journey we take from start to finish. We may not always make the proper choices,
but we are always allowed the ability to make another.
No matter how far down
the "wrong" road we may be, this road we chose, we chose for a reason. Here in
lies life's lessons. Learn the lesson, then make your next choice. This is how
we discover the daily journeys in a span of time that is ours and ours alone.
"Life is designed by our soul and spirit as our moment-by-moment opportunity to
expand our consciousness."
Tips for a Soul Satisfying Journey
1. The Power of Positive Thinking: Negativity is the root that undermines our
free flow of thought. The negative ideas we think can manifest in the words we
speak. The minute the words leave your lips, is the minute they manifest. Change
your thoughts to positive, uplifting ones. Think hope not hopelessness. Think
goodness, not evil. Think joy not despair. Energy follows thought. Program
thought to be positive and your energy will reflect it!
2. Networking : When traveling on any journey, take the time to meet those who
cross your path. If you believe in Universal Attraction, then your purpose for
those you meet will unfold.
3. Find Quiet Time: Turn off the cell phone, power down the laptop, cut yourself
off from the constant world of communication. Try doing it for 15 minutes. Then
add another 15 minutes. Build your time up to an hour, two hours, perhaps all
day. Do you remember time before these communication tools?
4. Find Time To Meditate: Become aware of your breath. Learn to close your eyes,
sit comfortable and smell the air around you. Enjoy the sounds of nature or your
favorite music. Enjoy the many meditations in the meditation village.
5. Enjoy the Company of Those Around You: If you are on vacation with your
significant other, your family or children, give them your full and undivided
attention. Not only will you understand your will power but you will truly show
your loved ones how important your time is with them!
6. Pamper Yourself : Take this time to enjoy a massage. Take a yoga class or
give yourself a soothing bath or spa treatment. Do something for yourself that
you would not normally do.
7. Be Flexible: You have a rigid, set schedule at work, with the kids or in your
daily routine. Learn a lesson from the willow tree and its ability to bend in
the great wind. Where as, when we are rigid like the old oak tree, we can easily
break apart under the stress of change. Learn to relax and follow the path
unfolding before you.
8. Become More Mindful: Mindfulness is the act of being fully aware of what
happens in each moment. Try living in the NOW. Be present. Honor each moment you
are given. Acknowledge each task you take.
9. Really Appreciating: what we DO have as opposed to what we would like to
have, makes a significant difference. This is always an important element in any
journey that is often neglected.
10. Find Happiness in Simplicity: and you will find the greatest joys yet
revealed to you. Smile when you talk on the phone. Great everyone you pass by or
meet today, with a smile. Appreciate the smell of the air, the warmth of the sun
and the laughter in children. Make that the stepping stones of your travels.

the road there."
