Travel, at its heart, is never just about moving from one place to another. Every journey we undertake in the world is a mirror for the journey we are making within ourselves. Whether you see the dragon as a symbol from myth and legend or as a metaphor for personal growth and transformation, travel itself becomes a profound process of change.
The Power of Intention
The intention we set before any journey shapes what we receive from it. When we travel with a clear purpose or question in mind, we open ourselves to change. Intention acts as a beacon, guiding us through the outer world while illuminating the hidden landscapes of our inner world. It is this conscious approach that turns a simple trip into a transformative travel experience.
Sacred Sites as Portals to Mystery
When we visit sacred sites—places like Stonehenge, Avebury, Glastonbury or ancient cities like London—we step into a living mystery. These ancient landscapes are more than stones and earth; they are thresholds between past and future, known and unknown. With intention, we become receptive to the energies and stories these places hold. The mystery we touch in these sites is not just a relic of the ancient past but a reflection of an unknown future that we are invited to meet with openness and courage.
Embracing the Unknown
Without intention, we may unconsciously resist the unknown that every journey brings. This resistance is understandable: transformation can be unsettling, and the changes it brings are not always easy to digest. Yet, it is precisely this willingness to face the unknown that allows us to grow. Each journey, then, becomes a process of transcendence—a chance to step beyond our old selves.
Slaying or Befriending the Dragon Within
The metaphor of “slaying the dragon” is well known in myth, but perhaps a more meaningful approach is to seek harmony with our inner dragon. The dragon, after all, is the guardian of treasures—wisdom, courage, and the power to transform. By setting an intention and embracing the journey, we do not destroy the dragon but learn to move in harmony with it, integrating its gifts into our lives.
Conclusion
Every journey, especially those to sacred places, is an invitation to transformation. With intention, we become alchemists of our own experience, turning the unknown into the gold of self-discovery. The path of the dragon is not about conquering, but about becoming—more whole, more aware, and more in tune with the mysteries that both the world and our own hearts hold.
