Ever returned from an overseas vacation feeling more exhausted than before? Well, you are not alone. A recent travel survey by Japanese retailer Muji revealed that 45% of UK adults felt the need to book another holiday upon returning from their holiday.
Research has shown that going for a vacation with mindfulness and intention such as a meditation retreat can help with reducing depression, anxiety, stress and improve the quality of life of participants.
Can a meditation retreat allow us to return to our family and workplace a more well-rested person? Let’s dive right in.
Embarking on a meditation retreat can be a deeply rewarding experience, offering an opportunity for relaxation, introspection, and personal growth. To ensure a fruitful retreat, here are some travel tips to keep in mind:
Prepare Your Mindset
Before you set out on your meditation retreat, it is a good idea to think about your objectives for the upcoming trip. Setting an intention helps one to better focus on the desired outcomes for the meditation retreat. For example, do you wish to do a digital detox through meditation? If so, be sure to set your smartphone to airplane mode or even lock it in the hotel safe during the day. Do you intend to fast, or abstain from junk food or alcohol? Researching the hotel or dining options available will greatly help you to achieve your personal retreat goals.
Research the Location
Having a better understanding of the new place you will be spending a number of days (or even weeks) will certainly help to alleviate some travel anxiety, especially if you are visiting a new country for the first time. What is the climate like in the season of the year? What kind of food would I be served? Is there any special cultural etiquette I should be aware of? Being well-informed of the new place you are going to not only prepares your mind, it is also part of a pleasant travel journey.
Go With The Flow
The essence of going with the flow is to embrace change. By adopting an attitude of openness, one can open doors to new experiences and even find new perspectives in life. Be prepared for unexpected changes, such as adjustments to the schedule or the challenges of sitting for extended periods. Embrace these as part of the experience.
By planning and approaching your meditation retreat with mindfulness and intention, you can maximise the benefits of your meditation retreat.
