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.

Spirituality has been said to be a state of mind where you live with purpose and find that life has meaning. Many people do not struggle with this concept, but it can be hard to put into practice. With the stressors of daily existence, it is easy to lose touch with what gives your life meaning and purpose in the first place. There are many ways to recapture your spirituality. You do not have to be religious to do it, and you can enhance your religious beliefs by improving spiritual connectedness. The huge amount of retreats available to you may be just what you need to get your spiritual self back again.

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.

For some, the peace and serenity found in the practice of relaxation, meditation, and yoga is the ultimate spirit refresher. It is for this reason that yoga retreats abound. Not only are they widely available in the US, but Thailand and India are popular locations for these retreats too. Here you will have days, weeks, or even months to practice body strengthening and energizing yoga, eat healthy foods, and spend hours in meditation and relaxation. The focus you will gain from these retreats will ensure that you come to the realisation of what is important in life and reconnect with your sense of meaning in life.

There are other ways to boost your serenity and put you back in touch with your true self and purpose. Solitude retreats are one of the ways of doing this. While they are not as popular as yoga retreats, many offer yoga as one of the activities. Others offer hiking, and general communing with nature. However, what stands out about these retreats is the focus on hermitage they have. Many people go on these retreats to be left completely alone and experience the world in absolute silence, either for a weekend, or for a few weeks. The time away from technology and distractions gives you a lot of time to rekindle your spiritual associations, awaken your mind, and think about what makes you truly happy.

Nourishment is not only essential for good bodily function. It also enhances feelings of tranquility and positivity. For these reasons, retreats that provide a focus on eating and nutrition are becoming popular. You spend days or even months detoxing, eating nutritious diets like juice and probiotic diets. This lifts your energy levels and boosts serotonin in your brain. You will be happier overall. Plus you are away from the stress of city life and have time to appreciate yourself and find a sense of meaning because you feel better about you.

The kinds of retreats available out there are endless. There are relationship retreats, health retreats, nature retreats and more. Whether you want to focus on improving your marriage, your health, or just find some quiet time, there is a retreat for you.

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.
