The Heros Journey: Ways To Rejuvenate Your Spirit

By Sandra Fisher


There are numerous ways you can boost your spirituality. The importance of the heros journey is not to be ignored since it has been shown that those who have stronger sense of spirituality are happier overall. But in these frantic times it can be easy to lose your sense of purpose in life and feel spiritually empty.

If you are constantly stressed out, and find you do not have the space, or the time in your home to practice your spirituality and enhance your sense of connectedness to the universe, a spiritual retreat may be just the answer you are looking for. Some people find their purpose through creativity, others through nature. Commonly, many men and women gain a great deal of spiritual fulfillment from retreats that incorporate both yoga and healthy diets. Whatever you are searching for, there is a retreat out there for you.

Spirituality is often defined as feeling that life is greater than you are, and having purpose in life. For people involved in the creative arts, life is most meaningful when their creativity is at its optimum. Since artists often find it difficult to concentrate in the bustling noises of the city, they may choose retreats as a way of either breaking through a creative block, or to finish their masterpiece. Many creative retreats exist. The purpose of them is for you, the artist, to spend your day with like-minded people either drawing, writing, or painting the whole day. Then you receive constructive feedback about your work. After a two-to-four week stint in the tropics of Costa Rica, or the deserts of Arizona, many come back with renewed energy and belief in their purpose and ability as an artist. This is a spiritually uplifting point in the lives of many artists, both aspiring and accomplished.

Traditional spiritual retreats are still a fantastic form of soul regeneration. These retreats focus on the practice of yoga, meditation, and relaxation. They abound in Thailand and India, but there are a good many in the US too. As you cleanse and strengthen your body and mind through yoga and meditation, so you help to invoke feelings of happiness and relaxation. When you are not critical of everything and everyone all the time, you start to discover your own slice of serenity and become far more aware of your purpose and meaning in the greater universe.

If you work a high stress job dealing with multiple people and constantly being on the go all the time, there are retreats that let you let go of all of that. You can escape your cell phone, your email, and even other people. These are called Solitude Retreats and whilst they offer a range of activities such as yoga and meditation, you have the option of hermitage. Here you live alone, and in silence. You interact with few to no people and never speak. If you need time for introspection and self-reflection, there can be no better retreat. It will let you discover the core of who you are and determine what really matters in your life.

Another type of retreat gaining in popularity are health retreats. Given that doctors now acknowledge there is a strong mind-body connection, it is no surprise that a healthier body leads to better wellbeing and less stress. It also results in higher levels of happiness. This can only promote spirituality as when you are happier about your life, you feel you have more purpose. Health retreats have the primary focus of diet. They encourage full body detoxes which are accomplished by administering juice diets, vegetarian diets, and probiotic foods. As you lose all those toxins which are clogging up vital energy paths in your body, and generally making you feel sluggish, you feel lighter, better, and healthier. These retreats are really worth a try if junk food has become your staple recently.

You can choose from an array of retreats. You have choices from nature retreats if you find your spiritual sustenance in the outdoors, or health and wellness retreats. The latter focus on opening energy centres in your body and use alternative therapies to gain overall health. Your choices for feeling good and positive about life are basically endless.

It is clear that whichever retreat you choose to go on, there is a spiritual value to be gained. You can connect with the universe through creativity, or up your life satisfaction ratio by improving your diet. Perhaps you simply need some peace and quiet. The common thread is that you will find purpose and meaning in life. This will lead to greater spiritual wellbeing and teach you skills you can draw from when your spirituality is feeling a little lost.
