Tips In Making A Good Experience Out Of Spiritual Journeys

By Winifred Christensen


Holy places exist these days for people to visit. They go on a pilgrim to find their inner self and connect with their spirit. Going on spiritual journeys to these holy places allow people to embody pure spirituality and dynamism so it should be a nice idea to go on one. To go on the journey, here are some simple tips to take note of.

First, you have to know what the accepted temple offerings would be. There are times when a simple garland would be enough. If you want a more extravagant offering, then coconut, milk, and money should do the trick. Know what a perfect temple offering would be to the holy place which you are visiting beforehand.

There are holy places that will require their visitors to leave their sandals and shoes before entering the temple. There are a lot of such holy places these days. Since the holy place that you are going might require you to do so, it would be good for you to find a footwear that you can easily remove. Avoid wearing footwear with heels too.

Most of the holy places are indeed serene and quiet. However, there also exist temples that are chaotic and loud. These chaotic and loud temples always ring with loud bells, people screaming, or babies crying. It might be a good idea for you to wear your ear plugs at these temple so that you can mediate better.

For your mediation, you have to find the right place where you can do so. You do not have to force yourself to mediate in front or in the middle of the temple if these places are too loud or too uncomfortable. You must find a comfortable corner or quiet spot in the temple where the disturbance is minimal for better mediation.

Look inward. You have to make your experience in this journey as inward as possible. Even when you are surrounded by chaos, even when there are people pushing, those should not distract you from your mediation. If possible, you might want to keep the eyes close all the while and even be quiet with yourself.

Wear the right clothes appropriate for this journey. There are nice clothes you can wear to the temple. Of course, nice clothes does not have to be trendy or celebrity-style. The traditional clean clothes that are suitable and comfortable for visiting temples should be the best choice to have when it comes to clothes you can wear.

For those people visiting a temple for the first time, you have to get yourself a copy of this temple's guide. It is through the guide that you can allow yourself to have an understanding of the temple's history. You can skip on long lines for this as well. Special features regarding the temple might be known to you as well.

Your accommodation should be prepared beforehand. You should try to pick the accommodation that is close to temples. The closer you are to the temples, the better it is for you. After all, that means you can get immersed in the spiritual aura of the area. That should allow you to optimize your journey spiritually too.
