Spiritual Retreats to Machu Picchu

This is a short video about the retreats offered by Yoga Retreat Peru. There is also a short clip from a TV interview with Deepak Chopra about the shamanic practice of taking ayahuasca. He very wisely advises anyone interested in trying this plant to choose a good shaman/guide to accompany you. Please enjoy and share this video on spiritual retreats to Machu Picchu.

Spiritual Retreats to Machu Picchu

 

The Yoga Retreats are given in 2012 in August 4 – 11, August 18 – September 1, September 1 – 15. If you are interested, please contact this website: http://www.incayogaperu.com There are different types of workshops such as High Altitude Training, Yoga and Synergy classes. The Shamanic Ceremony is optional and by special request only. If you would like to know more about the ayahuasca ceremonies, I recommend this book: Ayahuasca in My Blood: 25 Years of Medicine Dreaming by Peter Gorman.

Spiritual Practices from Archangel Michael

This is a book review of a new book by Les Feast, Messages from Heaven: Is Anyone Listening? The review is written in PR Web from Dudley Park, Australia. It tells of the story of Les’ experiences with Archangel Michael when he was in India and the subsequent communications with him. Here’s a little bit about this new spiritual book: Messages from Heaven and the spiritual practices from Archangel Michael.

Spiritual Practices from Archangel Michael

Yet, things go from bad to worse when Feast breaks his foot and is mired at the ashram with Sri Sathya Sai Baba for seven days. However, says Feast, on that seventh day, something miraculous happened.
“At about four in the morning,” says Feast, “I am awakened by this huge light shining in my room and as I gaze at it, I hear the words, ‘I am Michael and I have come in answer of your prayer, do you want my help?’ There was no hesitation in thinking. I immediately, say, ‘yes, please.’”
Feast lists this first communication with Archangel Michael as the first of many. This first encounter also marked Feast’s commitment to serve as a medium and healer.
Feast has taught and worked with some of Australia’s leading mediums and healers. In Messages from Heaven, he recounts the lessons and words of the Archangel Michael and shows readers how to operate from their inner source of power.

Spiritual Tours in Tibet

Our featured journey for this week is a spiritual tour around Mt. Kailash near Kathmandu staying in or near Drirapuk and Zutrulpuk monasteries. The tour is sponsored by the Tibet Travel Coop, a group of local tour companies that all work together to promote and provide authentic travel experiences. Here are more details about spiritual tours in Tibet by the Tibet Travel Coop (TTC).

Spiritual Tours in Tibet

“Travelers will visit magnificent monasteries, ancient chortens, sacred mountains, caves and temples, lively bazaars and historic trading towns.” TTC said. “Throughout the trip, they will meet monks, Lamas, Yogis, nomads and scholars and learn about Buddhist culture. They can participate in meditation, observe rituals, mingle with pilgrims, and deeply connect with local people and traditions.”
Itineraries for the spiritual journey include a 14-day tour in and around the sites of Lhasa in central Tibet, and a 16-day pilgrimage to holy Mt. Kailash. All tours in central Tibet require a group of at least 5 and a guide.
“The Kailash itinerary is the 53km pilgrim path around Mt. Kailash.” TTC said. “The trek begins and ends in the city of Darchen and the journey can be started in Lhasa or Dam via Kathmandu. Three days is perhaps the minimum time required to walk leisurely around the mountain, spend two nights in or near Drirapuk and Zutrulpuk monasteries.”

The Tibet Travel Coop also offers two other types of tours - cultural odysseys or adventure trekking. Perhaps some of your group would prefer these types of tours to the spiritual ones. I have talked to people who have gone on tours in Tibet. Aside from the indoctrination that the Chinese have improved the country since their take-over, the tours were well organized and delivered what was publicized. The regulations keep changing, but you are still limited as to where you can travel to on your own without a tour guide in Tibet. If you want to know more about traveling in Tibet, I recommend this book: Lonely Planet Tibet by Chris Bradley. The Lonely Planet books are kept up to date and give some out of the way places to visit as well for spiritual tours in Tibet. Next week we will look at traveling in some of the neighboring countries to Tibet - Bhutan, Nepal and China.
