duct_id=130&category_id=7

32. The search for the
meaning, idea or to find
a solution to the stuck
problem requires to pass
certain rites of passage.
These rites of passage
can be found in many
different tribes’ myths
like The Hero’s
Journey.
Interesting that this path
regularities in every
myth are the same.

33. Searching for the meaning,
solution or ideas are gates to
the unknown. Once crossed
you can find stuff that you
couldn’t imagine today.
Usually The Heaven Office
is late by one year, but
during the trip the answer
could appear in a few weeks.
This is a special trip, that is
why to make the first step
you have to have courage
and determination.

34. Our trip – a way to feel
freedom and to be with
yourself. To leave for
some time the mundane
world and to explore
the spiritual space,
where the routine
leaves your horizon –
with job routine,
family, friends, etc.

35. The trip – is not an intellectual
game – but clear deliberate,
physical and spiritual crossover.
This is only possible to reach
when combining all three
elements:

36. 1. Body. Every morning
we will start with yoga
exercises, because
Your body is the
temple of Your Spirit.

37. 2. Emotions. Every
day will be special
exercises allowing
to understand
oneself.

38. 3. Spirituality. Meditation
and communication
(Meaning as a perpetual
change at companies or
life). During the trip we
will meet and converse
with monks and
spiritual gurus. You will
be able to ask
beforehand prepared
questions, share ideas or
discuss the Meaning of
life.

39. Overcoming high
mountain passes
will allow to start
a natural wave
crystallisation
mechanism and
receive a reply to
the most difficult
question..
