SABBATICAL WITH PURPOSE Camino De Santiago Trail, #Spain – mindful walking, reduce burnout, reinvent yourself.

Sharon Breslin — Mon, 16 May 2016 04:45:21 +0000

Are you suffering from burnout, stress, lack of sleep and absolutely no time to take an honest look at YOU? Is looking at your health and wellbeing and the ways in which you can fully support yourself becoming impossible? These are symptoms that are far too common in this modern world of ours.

With time speeding up and our every day demands becoming increasingly burdensome, taking a sabbatical with PURPOSE is essential! It assists you in aligning your outer world with your inner world. It allows you to embrace and build balance, harmony and strength for your mind, body and soul. Neglecting these experiences for continual personal growth is non-negotiable.

A SPIRITUAL QUEST IN THE MOUNTAINS OF PERU

Sharon Breslin — Mon, 04 Apr 2016 10:18:28 +0000

Today was the day! We were to climb 4300m above sea level, high into the Andes, to visit a very special mountain “WAKAY WILKA” – meaning sacred tears in Quechua. With the sun shining brightly, the blue sky, the buzz of Ollantaytambo; the tourist town surrounding us, we were excited. How cold would it be up there? How long were we going to be? What about water and food?

Having prepared ourselves the day before with each of us receiving a beautiful flower bath and healing from Wilma our Curandero (Medicine Woman) we felt very ready to participate in the “Despacho Ceremony”. Blissfully unaware of the experience ahead, we knew that it was going to feed our souls and help us with ‘releasing’ and having the opportunity to sew the seeds for change.

Climbing up from the valley floor, winding around many bends and feeling the effects of altitude, our breathing became shallow, the temperature started to drop and a contemplative mood descended across the group. With the landscape hard to determine and totally surrounded in mist, we finally approached the crest of the climb. Piling out of the van, pulling on our rain gear and warm clothes, we followed Wilma to a breathtaking ridge where there was just enough flat land to sit in a circle and commence our “Despacho Ceremony”.

Before long we were all deep in concentration making our Kintus – combining three coca leaves with the petal of a flower – to offer to the “Despacho Parcel”. Wilma too was communing in her native tongue with mother earth, the elements and spirit. Light rain started to fall but it didn’t seem to affect us or the fire being built as we sat in the stillness communing in our own way.

The time had come to blow our intentions, gratitude and prayers into each and every one of the Kintus, then pass them to Wilma who offered the final blessings and placed them into the “Despacho” parcel. Not surprisingly, a common theme in the group was the intention of healing based around children or grandchildren and the wish for new beginnings.

As Wilma closed the ceremony, tying the strings of the Despacho Parcel together, she continued to commune with spirit and walked it across to the fire. Placing it there she asked “Wakay Wilka” for our prayers to be heard as they drifted up to her through the smoke. Then something quite amazing happened. The mist suddenly lifted and for the first time that day, we could see Wakay Wilka in all of her glory!

Feeling very grateful and basking in the incredible energy, another surprise suddenly revealed itself. Out of nowhere a wild dog appeared very heavily pregnant. We were blown away and humbled by the symbolic representation – “new birth, new beginnings and children”. Our intentions and prayers had definitely been heard.

The Power of Ceremony at a sacred site… etched in our memories forever.

Ayahusca – Is it a quick fix or not?

Sharon Breslin — Wed, 16 Sep 2015 01:24:07 +0000

This is a question I find myself asking more frequently – and one that I do not have the answer to. A question I feel that needs to be explored. I have been observing – listening and noticing an increasing interest in Ayahuasca over the past couple of years.

Tools to plan your Pilgrimage along the Way of St James

Sharon Breslin — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:09:21 +0000

Where do you start? There are so many publications, websites, tour companies and individuals who provide options, suggestions and direction on the best way to walk this ancient trail. Budget, time factor and whether you wish to freewheel it or travel with a guide are some of the major determining factors in choosing how and who you travel with.

Here are some of my favourite tools that you might like to utilize to help with both the planning and your actual time on the trail:

Favourite Books:
A pilgrims guide to the Camino De Santiago by John Brierley
Lonely Planet Phrase book

Useful websites:
www.caminodownunder.com
This website sells a fantastic set of maps that have been laminated and in 3D so perfect for any weather when walking.
www.camindesantiago.me.uk
Great general information on this site

www.chronoexpres.com
Transport options to carry your bags if you are free-wheeling it.

When choosing a tour company you need to determine what is most important to you. The size of the group, the standard of accommodation, are the guides Spanish or another nationality, the duration of the tour, inclusions such as meals, any special extras that are included that other tour companies do not offer, the amount of free time offered while on tour.

A “small tour group” walking the Camino certainly makes it more personable and easier all round. If you are lucky enough to find a fantastic guide then this is what brings that special piece of magic to your time on the Camino. The experienced guides have the respect of the locals, know how to provide surprises along the way and take all of the hassles out of walking so that you can truly embrace yourself into the history, scenery, people and gourmet delights.

Buen Camino
