What is a spiritual pilgrimage?

A spiritual pilgrimages involves a journey or search of spiritual significance. It maybe a journey to a shrine or other location of importance to a person’s beliefs and faith, although sometimes it can be a metaphorical journey into someone’s own beliefs, or to meet with other people on a spiritual path and connect with a higher teacher. My spiritual pilgrimage is to grow, transform to connect with my soul, my teacher and to have a wonderful time along the way with like minded people.

On Sunday the 12th May 2024, I flew to Mumbai and joined 120 people at Master Choa Kok Sui’s ashram in Pune, a four hour drive from Mumbai where I undertook deep spiritual training and practices. Our practices were lead by warm hearted Master Glenn MD, paediatric doctor who formally ran the neonatal care in New York hospital and his wife Master Marilag who’s beautiful pianist skills can be heard on some of our meditation recordings for pranic healing (and her sons playing the violin).

Master Choa Kok Sui is our teacher, the modern founder of modern day Pranic Healing and Arhatic yoga and genius extraordinaire who brought together an ancient science and art and formed practices to safely heal people physically, mentally and emotionally. Pranic healing is the fastest growing energy healing technique in the world and is in over 120 countries. Its simple and easy safe techniques are incredibly effective and if you would like to learn it, you can join our classes, visit: www.phwn.com.au. He also created a spiritual arm to his school, and the deeper practices within this are found in Arhatic Yoga.

Arhatic Yoga is the synergy of 7 different types of yoga and involves deep spiritual practices and is the fastest way to evolve your soul through tested techniques that involve many practices including some physical movement, breath work, meditation and other secrets you can learn if you join the classes.

From the ashram in Pune, we journey across to Bhutan mid May 2024 to meet the rest of the other six masters and some more Arhatic Yogis from around the world. It’s the second time in 10 years our eight masters, all masters, will have joined together in the same place for our group to meditate and transform, ourselves and to transform much more. The event in Bhutan lasted four days and included a special full moon mediation on 23 May, the full moon of Gemini which is known as the Flower moon, connects to the abundance and blossoming at springtime. We discussed the Sanskrit word, Namaste, to salute the divinity within the soul, the God nature, the Buddha nature, the Christ nature within. Also we joined a mediation that was held at Buddha point in Bhutan, where a very large gold plated statue of Buddha will be one of the focal points of the days in Bhutan.

Spirituality for me has been an enriching part of my life since childhood. Spirituality is not necessarily a religion but it can be for some. As a child we attended church and Sunday school weekly and was full of what I used to find fun activities as a child. My certainty and deep rooted belief that God was with us always was founded ever since I can recall and my faith was firmly established. Later in my teens learning more about different religions, it seemed as though God was with us all and many people had different ways of expressing this. And in my 20s when I lost an uncle I loved at a young age, many around me questioned why God would do this? Mu grandfather studied the Bible in great depths, marked pages and sought guidance and healing for him. We all felt the grief and sadness of loss when my uncle passed. For me, God was still with us, for others, their faith wavered.

Also that spiritually we all have a soul, that inner voice that has been with us, our consciousness and our subconsciousness and then, something more, which links to that intuition and knowing. That we are all so much more than our physical bodies. This has been my embodiment and belief system. Coupled with my further belief that we are all reincarnated. This belief was founded based on the principles of geniuses, for example, how could Mozart write music at four years of age? How do you know how to do things you weren’t taught? It’s also natural that your belief systems maybe different to mine and I’m at peace with that and I also remain open to continue to learn and evolve my belief systems too.

Spiritually I’ve also felt very protected in my life and that I’ve also sensed the spiritual kingdom to be here by my side, especially in hard times. Coupled with a deep sense continues to drive my thirst for more soul connection and deeper understanding of who am I? For as my teacher says, “I am the soul”.

My version of my first spiritual pilgrimage started a long time ago. And I’ve been raised by people who don’t necessarily share all my beliefs. I would say though, that the I was raised by very strong people with character belief systems that still match mine and are linked deeply to Pranic Healing, sharing values of kindness and honesty, generosity and gratitude, compassion, working hard and much more. They continue to hold up the mirror to myself and tell me, look. They help me do my work. I’m deeply grateful to the people who raised me and I love and adore.

My view is that you may not call yourself a spiritual person, but if you are of good character, this is in itself a form of spirituality. For example, serving society and living a value driven life and working on growth, they you maybe more spiritual than you have considered, maybe.

The first trip to the ashram in 2022, to Pune changed me deeply and helped set me free of some of the things I needed to release and was deeply healing. I met friends for life and found a new strength I needed. I made big changes to my life after this trip. It deeply transformed me. I connected with my soul and others souls.

I hope if you take a spiritual journey it helps you, in whatever way you need.
