Spiritual Healing Journey - In Search For Inner Healing-Part 1
If you read the newspaper and/or listen to the news on the television, you are aware of the various changes that are taking place in our world today. There is much mayhem spreading around the globe. They range from small-scale happenings to major catastrophes. Many of us are guilty of closing our eyes and ears in order to avoid being affected. The reality is that eventually we will all be touched by the conditions of our changing world. Fears, destruction, depression, hate, disease, death, just to mention a few, are waiting patiently for the right moment to invade our body, mind and/or soul.
In order to survive these difficult times, avoid being attacked by any of the above mentioned and/or prepare for the unforeseen we need to generate positive energy and maintain ourselves spiritually balanced or healthy.
My method of maintaining a balanced and stronger spiritual self is to engage in spiritual journeys- a gradual passing from one state of mind to a much healthier state. Spiritual journeys have assisted me with my healing process as well as letting go of inner emotional pain. They are extremely healing and liberating. Moreover, they create an inner transformation. Some individuals experience their spiritual journeys through prayers, or other means. I experience them through travel, artwork and meditation. Below is an account of one of my journeys.
Approximately four years ago, my mother crossed over to the spirit world. Apart from being my mother, she was my best friend. Even though I am a believer in life after death, I could not let go of the vast emotional pain and void I felt inside. I felt as though the light of my soul had been turned off. I was an empty shell pretending to be alive. All I wanted to do was sleep and wake up to discover that it was simply a bad dream- read Letting Go Is Not Easy. One day, while doing household chores, I came across a book that a friend had given me three years earlier. He had highly recommended it, and suggested that I read it. I took the book, thanked him and placed it in my bookcase. For three years, the book had been hidden and forgotten. Without any palpable explanation, the book had reappeared. I picked it up and read the title- A Healer's Journey by Sree Chakravarti. The book is an inspiring autobiography about an Indian woman's exceptional healing gift. I read a few pages and was captivated by her storytelling. I proceeded to read on. Then, something happened that transformed my world. It was a chapter devoted to Sai Baba, an Indian Saint, which turned my life around. I was perplexed as to why I was so enchanted by this man. I must have read the chapter three or four times. A week had passed, and I could not stop thinking of Sai Baba. I felt an overwhelming impulse to go to Shirdi, India; and I needed to go immediately. Without any hesitation, I got a visa, packed my suitcase, grabbed my passport and American Express ("don't leave home without it"), and headed for India.
