The value of embarking on the inner journey

Have you ever considered taking an inner journey? It is often said that the best things don’t cost money. It is true that traveling gives us experience and a way of opening up to the world, of getting to know cultures. But On many occasions we pack our bags to escape. Buying a ticket, a week in a hotel, a tourist circuit… we pay to escape, rest and get away from who we are and our obligations.

This is what is sometimes called “a culture of avoidance.” Momentarily escape from who we are and our social problems. And sometimes we don’t even need to get a ticket to another scene to escape, we often do it through television, social networks… disconnect to rest.

It’s not a bad thing at all. But from time to time, it would be good to also practice other types of trips. Like an inner journey. We invite you to do so…

We warn you that it is a risky and inclusive journey, where fears can exist, where you will delve into your own maps. A psychological as well as spiritual terrain where you can acquire knowledge of yourself. How long has it been since you thought about yourself? Daily obligations, work, the people around us, those for whom we live, for whom we suffer and for whom we love.

How are you currently feeling? What stage of your life are you in? Have you achieved your aspirations, have you touched the shape of your dreams with your fingers? What do you need to be happy? The inner journey is a journey inhabited by questions to which to find answers. Achieving self-knowledge is not always easy, it requires tranquility and the willingness to look at yourself..

If your reality does not fit what your mind dreams of, maybe you should rethink some things in your life. And it is that, There is the risk of the internal journey, it makes us open doors that sometimes hurtforces us to travel a map that is not always linear, but is drawn based on setbacks and strange nooks and crannies to discover about ourselves.
