The Way
I always wanted travel to change me. I didn’t want to just observe like a journalist or an anthropologist. I was after entirely new ways of seeing and being.
Part of that drive was positive, the lure of a big, beautiful, wide world out there. But part of it was also negative, a yearning to escape from a place where I felt I didn’t fit in, as well as from the worries and insecurities of my own mind.
It’s a quest that, over the years, has led me to some fascinating places, phenomenal people, and intriguing new experiences. And while these have all been very interesting (well perhaps a few also a little regrettable…), there are three treasures I unearthed on my travels that ended up completely changing my life. I subsequently spent years studying them so that I could qualify to teach them. Today I make it my mission to pass on the best of what I’ve learned! So here’s that holy trinity:
These three can have a bit of an esoteric reputation, but in fact they’re all at heart practical, backed by science and accessible to anyone willing to give them a shot. That’s actually part of their appeal to me, as I’ve always been very much a practical romantic. What is a bit out of this world though is the transformation that they can bring to your life, supplying health, happiness, and harmony in even the most challenging of circumstances.
The irony of course is that the escape I’d long sought in foreign lands ultimately came through things I’d had with me all along — my body, mind, and breath — if only I’d known how to use them. Then again, I probably never would have learned had I stuck to more familiar shores; I needed travel to first open up my mind. I think Henry Miller probably had it right when he said “one’s destination is never a place, but rather a new way of looking at things.”
