Finding Communion Through Travel, Writing and Buddhist Practice
My aspiration has always been to understand how we humans learn about ourselves in alien and exotic landscapes, how we find communion with our fellow beings, develop some sort of spiritual path, and how we heal ourselves from childhood wounds by becoming part of the larger world.
So I had a wonderful conversation with Marilyn Ball on her podcast, Speaking of Travel.
She says, “The truth is, no matter where you go, and no matter how long you’re gone, you always come home with a new outlook on life. So sit back and be carried away to places from around the world and right here in our own backyard. No passport required!”
During the podcast, we explore strategies to achieve peace of mind when facing tough times. I share stories and personal discoveries from her life traveling around the globe to describe how mindfulness of our own inner peace helps protect our core emotions.
Marilyn and I talked at length about how travel changes you as you step out of your comfort zone in places near and far. Journeys are our chance to learn more about ourselves, the world, and the ways we choose to interact with those of different cultures.
Enjoy the show and let me know what you think!
Warmly,
Mag
