Traveling: A Mantra to liberate mind, body and soul
THE WORLD IS A BOOK AND THOSE WHO DO NOT
TRAVEL READ ONLY A PAGE.”
-SAINT AUGUSTINE
It is rightly believed that there is
nothing better than a hobby of traveling. If taken as a passion, travelling can
overpower all other ways a man chooses for recreation. It gives a kaleidoscope
of experiences to those who enjoy exploration as a way of life. Travel plans
can be of different sorts ranging from high end luxury stays in star rated
hotels or resorts or can be as simple as staying in home stays, hostels or
dorms. Whatever the plans are, traveling to unexplored, virgin and untrodden
places surely offers experiences that are cherished and remembered for life.
Historically also traveling has been
taken as an important project by adventure seekers, voyagers and travelers.
That was one significant means that led to the discovery of several main lands
which are popular today as well known countries. It is a way of knowing
anything and everything about a land, its people, culture, food, beliefs,
languages, religion and even habits and customs followed. With added knowledge,
man gets liberation in thoughts and beliefs and becomes capable of getting
adjusted to the places he has never visited earlier in life. It transcends all
the barriers that hinder the way of universal brotherhood amongst people of
different nations across the globe. The more you travel to a variety of places,
the better is your ability to accommodate cultural variations and imbibe local
etiquette. This further helps in getting accepted by the local people and
sometimes may lead to strong interactions between two different cultures. This,
therefore, again leads to liberation of thoughts and widening of understanding.
Another way to appreciate the importance
of traveling is to feel the results it brings to the one who experiences it.
Researches have shown that thereare several psychological and physiological
benefits of traveling. Not only it leads to mind rejuvenation, if planned
properly, it may lead to bodily renewal. It brings experiences that become good
memories for life. Further, a lot of travelers who are on constant move to
explore places have admitted that some of their holiday experiences have led to
transformation in positive ways in the way they think and react to situations (Times
Life, May 2017). Some budget travelers in their travel encountershave confessed
that traveling has brought in them compassion, acceptance and a feeling of
better understanding of life. There are some travelers who believe in capturing
the moments of their travel encounters and experiences through the lens of
their camera. This process also gives them a lot of satisfaction through which
they attain liberation. Travel bloggers find their rejuvenation
by writing about their travel experiences and posting pictures to show to the
world. Traveling increases the ability to sustain in different situations and brings
us closer to reality of nature. Therefore, we can conclude that traveling is one
way of creating connect with oneself, nature and others and can result in
utmost satisfaction of different sorts.
