Why Do We Love Traveling? How to Trust the Unknown?

Hi Mira,
Thank you for your thoughts and theory on our love (and apprehension/fear?) of travel. I’ve had a wanderlust spirit in this lifetime/incarnation, traveling extensively for decades and even living in many parts of this country and the world. I think I’m over much of that “travel bug” now, however, passionately enjoying each day of being at home and working in my energy balancing bodywork career. This is clearly my purpose for being here, now and in other lifetimes, and there’s nothing I would rather do more than my WORK. Over the recent holiday season I missed three full weeks of client contact, most of it traveling, during a two month period. It just about killed me! Maybe this will change as time passes…..but I don’t see it. I guess if I could take my work with me on the road, as you often do, I’d look at it a bit differently. 🙂
Concerning our innate love of travel, I believe that we’re spiritually hard-wired for this…as above, so below. This subject came up during my first guided PLR last spring. (I think I sent you this transcript before the weekend seminar at Kripalu.) I was very interested in learning about my LBL activities, having read all three of Michael Newton’s books, and included this topic in my list of questions for the repressionist. My higher self revealed during the session that I (we) do this all the time on the other side of the veil. We travel regularly to distant planets and galaxies to study the beautiful diversity of lifeforms there. We take intergalactic vacations with our spiritual homies. We wander the cosmos together looking for fun and excitement. Is it any wonder that we enjoy doing that in this realm as well?
Just thought I’d share that fun PLR experience with you. I can’t wait to see you again! Please stop by and visit me for a complimentary energy balancing session (and lunch at the Wood River Inn) anytime you’re driving up to New England along Rt. 95. I’m just two miles off of Exit 2 in Rhode Island. The healing energies flowing through me these days are “off the charts” compared to last summer in the Berkshires. I’m in the process of writing a book about this and the unique type of bodywork that I do. Would you be interested in reviewing it?
Have a great trip to Seattle!
Much love and joy,
Mark
Hi Mark! It is so wonderful to hear from you! And I love what you are sharing. I know your book will carry the healing energies that are flowing through you and assist many people! I am sending you all my love!
I love hearing your view on this! I agree traveling is a true journey of self exploration and discovery. We explore who we are by exploring other places. I travel almost every week for work and get to visit some very exotic places in this country and sometimes abroad. And on my time off from work, I get that same opportunity if I desire. I’ve been doing this for almost 4 years now and there’s been a shift. The excitement, wonder and joy I used to get from traveling weekly has mostly disappeared. I relish my time alone with myself, away from crowds in a rural, reclusive setting. This was shocking to me when this change first happened because my work requires me to be social and travel and that’s ultimately why I pursued this career. But I’ve embraced this change because I know I’m entering a very reclusive, new and deeply spiritual time of self exploration. I’ve cut back on my external traveling and take off more time from work than I used to so I can be alone and away from people. I’m lucky to have the flexibility to do so with my schedule. I’ve been off for 3 weeks and am off the next 2 weeks as well. During this time, I have been deeply entrenched in contemplation, thought, prayer, and self exploration. I have no desire to get on a plane and go anywhere or visit anyone, even though I can do so at no cost. I’ve had little desire for face to face contact with family, friends or other people. But just because I’m not externally traveling, doesn’t mean I’m still not internally traveling and growing. I believe all of this external traveling has made me more grounded and has made me value my personal time and connection with myself and God. So, when people who haven’t traveled much have the opportunity to travel and don’t take it, I think they’re missing an incredible opportunity to explore themselves internally through external sights, sounds, feelings and tastes. This thirst for constant external exploration may ultimately fade out and bring them to what they were originally looking for in the first place; a deeper more meaningful and potentially more private connection to themselves and their creator that wouldn’t have been possible had they never explored the external creations of wonder and beauty around them.
Mira,
What a great video. I have often felt the newness that you describe when traveling. As a fellow hypnotherapist and intuitive, I have often been described as having my head in the clouds! (What this means is I get lost easily & have a poor sense of direction.) When I travel alone, I try to prepare well so that I know where to go, but usually my best asset is connecting with my guides and angels who somehow always help me to get where I need to go! LOL! This is how I must use the ‘trust’ that you spoke of!
An example is the time I flew to meet my husband in Vermont. I missed my connecting plane in Washington, DC. My guides told me to strike up a friendship with a cute young woman & then to go to the customer service counter with her. Amazingly, she had been promised in another town that if she missed this connection, they would take care of her & make sure she made it to her parents cabin by the Vermont lake before nightfall. The customer service employee looked surprised & said, “There are no more planes out tonight. Oh, you have a reservation on a different airlines at the other major airport in DC & here is a voucher for a taxi. You will make it there tonight!”
Of course I said, ” Me too if you can, as we will share the taxi!”
She was happy for the company and I bought her dinner and a beer while we waited! OH and she was an excellent tour guide on the taxi ride as we passed the capitol & such! Traveling alone always helps me connect with source! It is a necessity!
Thanks for your great positive soul and for sharing your inspiration!
Tammy, this is such a fun story! And so inspiring too! Thank you.
I wish I had more tolerance for cold weather places, I’d do much more travel to cold places, maybe i died cold and alone in some other life?. I’d really like to see Russia, maybe one day!
