When I was in the Highlands of Scotland during my last week of December I felt totally emerged in the mystics of this beautiful country. Hence my inspiration to share something about the shamanic journey.
Since I am back in London I struggled for a whole month to get back in “my creative flow.” The city drains my soul and blocks my creativity. The only longing I have left is to reconnect with nature. Driving out to the nearby countryside of the South East takes me at least 1 – 1.5 hours.
Trying to work from home only makes me feel more isolated from the world and makes me wanna escape into video games.
I am not sure about you. But I feel many highly sensitive souls and empaths currently struggle with this topic of “not wanting to be part of today’s” world. Personally, I have never felt I was part of the London work culture. I came to London back in 2013 in the midst of a burn-out and that’s where the split of fading out of today’s world only became bigger.
Nothing that we call “normal” in today’s world felt like I wanna be part of it.
The only thing that actually made me feel a bit more alive is the exploration of travel.
Travel and Spirituality. Re-ignite your Spirit and Fill Your Soul.
For me traveling to beautiful nature escapes is like food for my soul and spirit. This is where I can gain perspective on everything and look at life from a different angle. This is like Self-Reflection in TopGear.
Driving long-distance on a motorway or country lanes can be very meditative as well. You either pay attention to your surroundings or you zone out to a different state of consciousness.
When you have arrived one of the first things I do is to explore the local area. It’s in the exploration where I become alert and pay attention. I can see, feel and experience new things I have not seen before. Staying put in the same old familiar environment doesn’t trigger that much. In a matter of fact, it can make us very passive and bored.
Perhaps this has something to do with the ADD condition. The mind of a hunter becomes alert in the mode of exploration and the unknown. When parked in known it becomes inactive. Like the job is done. A bore-out (the opposite of burnout) becomes inevitable when it doesn’t get stimulated enough.
So if you know what’s good for you, then why don’t do it enough?
I am sure we all can answer that question with not enough time, money, or perhaps commitments towards family or a relationship. And I get that. We all have these things in life that we create that can hold us back.
But when it comes to the aspect of time and money I can ensure you that there are many solutions to that matter. But before I get to that please first watch the video:
