"Pilgrimage is a journey of risk and renewal. For a journey without challenge has no meaning; one without purpose has no soul."

Dr. C. Norman Shealy
A Mystical Journey through India
January 19 - February 3, 2003

Dr. Norman Shealy, author of "Holy Water, Sacred Oil - The Foundation of Youth" and "Quantum Touch", came to India for an unforgettable 2 weeks of inspiration, timeless moments and love. The magic began as we initiate ourselves at the foothills of the Himalayas in the flowing holy waters of the Ganges in Haridwar, and surrounded by healing vibrations of ecstatic chanting from temples along the ghats, walking along with the sadhus. We participated in the sacred ceremony of the ganga arti, allowing the power of Spirit to flow into our lives. After four days in Rishikesh also known as the "Yoga Capital of the World", we activate our spiritual inheritance by immersing ourselves in the archetypal energies represented by deities of Indian mythology. We then visited the legendary Taj Mahal, one of the wonders of the world, meditating in the hush of the setting sun. Our journey then took us to Vrindavan, the birthplace of Krishna, one of India's best-loved deities on the way to the vibrant and colourful city of Jaipur. While in Jaipur, I organized a Hindu wedding for two of our partipants who were involved in the Random Acts of Kindness Movement. We then assimilated all our experiences at the most romantic 17th century Lake Palace in Udaipur. It will then time to gear down to a slower, more meditative pace as we made our way to the ancient Buddhist, Hindu and Jain caves of Ajanta and Ellora in Aurangabad dating back to 2nd century BC.
