There are also a class of people that look at spirituality as the ultimate meaning or purpose to life. When they start explaining the values, the journey and everything concerning spirituality, you cannot be wish you met them early enough to experience the journey to the degree they have experienced.
Besides these two categories, there is also a class of people that do not seek to critic but they want nothing to do with spirituality. So, the moment you start to talk about anything to do with spirituality, they automatically switch off. Therefore, to ensure that we have a larger mass of people on the same page, we need to set out on a journey that has led us to come to certain conclusions.
First of all, when we talk of a spiritual journey to Bwindi impenetrable forest; we intend to mean a journey of encountering the different energy fields that map the different areas that most people merely pass through without noticing anything. These energy fields are more of triggers to the different emotional states.
However, it is important to note that not everyone can easily calibrate with the different energy fields. Therefore, this is more of a journey to try experience life beyond what merely meets the eyes. In many spiritual journeys; people seek to connect to a higher power. Others consider spiritual journeys as a trek to self-exploration or connecting to the inner self.
In other instances; spiritual journeys are coupled with meditation and mindful exercises. It is not a one size fits all. When planning a spiritual journey to Bwindi, you must first identify what exactly you wish to achieve in your trip so that you may pursue that one particular thing solely.
For first time spiritual journey travelers, there are mainly four things to look up to for your spiritual journey to Bwindi impenetrable forest.
Difference between the town energy fields and the forest energy fields
For many people who have lived their longest life in towns, will likely find it hard to calibrate with the forest energy field. Due to the fear of the unknown that is very common among many people; a forest like Bwindi comes off as a strange place. The silence that makes it for every sound to stand out is usually scary to many people.
But once you set out on this journey ready to explore; something unique happens. You connect with the frequencies of nature that can easily refresh your soul. To ensure that you do not miss out on this connection; plan to spend at least 4 days in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest alone.
The Mountain Gorilla community
Gorilla trekking is the most popular activity in Bwindi impenetrable forest. People travel thousands of miles for these face-to-face encounters with the mountain gorillas. But what most people miss out is the frequency of the brotherhood or family kind of energy that keeps these animals together.
With a spiritual guide, your gorilla trek becomes more beneficial beyond just taking mere photos. You can relate with the energy that defines that patterns by which these animals live. When you see the baby gorillas playing; you come to notice the kind of energy that circulate this place to make it home for these gentle giants.
If you have enough resources, you can take a chance on visiting at least two gorilla families. That is; trek a break away family and also trek a gorilla family that has been together for quite a long time.
Batwa Community Tour
The Batwa People are the former inhabitants of Bwindi impenetrable forest. They use to have their life in the forest until they were sidelined from the deep parts of Bwindi. Though many Batwa people are often mesmerized by the hunting, firing making among other things that the Batwa do; when you meet these people after gorilla trekking; you can easily identify the brokenness and the lack of unity that the gorillas had.
When you choose to go for a spiritual tour to Bwindi; it is more about the things you feel not the things you see. When people perform full of joy, you can feel the joy but when people perform traditional songs but worried about different issues; you will be overtaken by their pain instead of the songs they sing.
Your Ego
Every time you move to a new environment and spend reasonable time with people talking; you come to learn that you cannot talk much without catching yourself thinking a certain way. Part of the reason for the spiritual tours is learn how to energy by being aware of the continuous changes in your emotional state.
No human being wants to be a Villain in this story of life. Taking a spiritual journey to Bwindi opens you up to a new environment where your self-righteousness can easily lose its grips. If you take this trip with a real spiritual guide, they will engage you in a number of activities very early in the morning and late in the night to ensure that you fine tune your emotion dashboard to ensure that you are aware of emotions every time they spring up.
It is very possible to customize your Bwindi tour to feature activities such as forest bathing and meditation in the middle of the forest. In order to have the best of this trip, you might need a spiritual guide but even when you do not have one, you can simply buy a spiritual guide book and use the less populated environment of Bwindi to connect not only to your inner self but also to the forest environment in which animals such as forest elephants, forest buffaloes, chimpanzees and mountain gorillas survive.
Though gorilla trekking is one of the major highlights of Bwindi, you can still experience Bwindi without necessarily gorilla trekking in the impenetrable forest.
