By Winifred Christensen


Holy places exist these days for people to visit. They go on a pilgrim to find their inner self and connect with their spirit. Going on spiritual journeys to these holy places allow people to embody pure spirituality and dynamism so it should be a nice idea to go on one. To go on the journey, here are some simple tips to take note of.

First, know what the temple offerings would be. There should be a number of temple offerings you can give to the temples. It is up to you to decide what would you give. Of course, make sure that your chosen temple offerings are ones that can be accepted at the temple. You better do your research regarding this beforehand.

Some of the holy places might request their guests to remove their footwear before gaining entrance to the temple. Hence, if you are planning to go on this pilgrim, it would be to your advantage to wear footwear that are easy to remove such as your sandals or shoes. They will help you avoid any hassle during your journey.

Most of the holy places are indeed serene and quiet. However, there also exist temples that are chaotic and loud. These chaotic and loud temples always ring with loud bells, people screaming, or babies crying. It might be a good idea for you to wear your ear plugs at these temple so that you can mediate better.

Mediate properly. When mediating, it does not need to be right in front of the statues or right in the center of the temple. One can find a quiet spot or a comfortable corner of the temple, away from the chaos. If you think that there will be no or minimal disturbance in that corner, then that is a good place for you.

Look right inward. This experience should be spent as a time for you to see inward. You have to make this as inward as you can. You should stop looking at your surrounding, no matter how chaotic it is. These distractions should not take away your attention to what is important during this journey. Keep your eyes close to have an inward experience.

Your clothes should be appropriate for the occasion. Be sure to wear nice clothes to the temple. Nice clothes does not mean the latest in trend or the ones celebrities wear, though. Just the traditional clean clothes appropriate and comfortable for temple visiting should be suitable for you to wear to a temple.

If you are visiting this temple for the first time, it would be nice to have a temple guide. You should have a copy so that you can understand the basic history of that temple you are visiting. It will allow you to know what lines to avoid, where the long lines are, and such. You can learn about special features too.

Your accommodation should be prepared beforehand. You should try to pick the accommodation that is close to temples. The closer you are to the temples, the better it is for you. After all, that means you can get immersed in the spiritual aura of the area. That should allow you to optimize your journey spiritually too.
