Spiritual Quest Adventures Launches Oracle Tour to Ladakh, India
(PRWEB) October 31, 2013 -- What:
Spiritual Quest is launching our long-awaited Mystics of Ladakh Tour. This is a spiritual tour designed to explore the rich Ladakhi culture where magic weaves its way into everyday life.
Ladakh, or ‘Little Tibet’, treads the ancient path of Tibetan Buddhism and maintains the tradition of consulting spirits embodied by local monks once a year on personal, business and agricultural matters at the Winter Festival of The Oracles.
Why:
This tour is designed to enlighten people from other cultures and increase their awareness of life in all its myriad of forms.
During the festival, two oracles from the Matho monastery, who have been meditating in isolation for an entire month, will make a public appearance and enter into a state of trance. These oracles are chosen once every three years and are considered to be very special.
During the trance, the Rongsten Karmar divinity takes possession of the monks’ bodies, instructing them to share sacred religious prophecies and give blessings to remove obstacles. Whilst blindfolded, the monks also perform amazing feats such as running over high-rise monasteries, executing acrobatic moves and jumping from one balcony to the next.
When:
6th March to 19th March 2014
Where:
Leh, Ladakh, India
How:
The activities include the following:
· A local Shamanic healing session
