The pandemic has led some people to take a greater interest in religion and spirituality. One of the many definitions of the “spirit” is that it is our inner, nonphysical world, including both our conscious and subconscious minds. Our spiritual self interprets sensory inputs from our outer world and creates our experience of reality.
We usually associate spirituality with practices such as worship, meditation, and yoga. But for many, traveling can be highly spiritual, as it involves being immersed in an experience that’s different from our normal existence. It is also a “liminal experience”—we are suspended in an unknown setting which opens us to new possibilities.
