Travelling Inward is a collection of interrelated, real-life anecdotes of a westernized Chinese woman who believed in herself, took a leap of faith, and travelled to exotic India for 100 days. Through her ordinary encounters with the extraordinary Indian people, she discovered her life’s purpose in a surprising way.
Her journal stories illustrate the Indians' compassion, helpfulness, unconditional love, and the understanding of being a blessing to others. She realized many things that she was not aware of, despite her preconceived notions to the contrary. During a series of meaningful and challenging revelations, she was inspired to open her heart to greater self-awareness and self-love. Some of the lessons she learned in this inward adventure were following her inner voice, embracing difficult situations, accepting herself and others, recognizing the human being instead of emphasizing the human doing, creating freedom rather than keeping constraints of one’s personal history, and to have the guts to forgive others when mistreated. She shares her spiritual quest as a storyteller, which brings the reader to experience the genuineness of the Indian spirit, and the heartfelt and inspiring truth of the meaning of one’s life.
This book is an intimate journey that offers readers the opportunity to be more aware of the interactions of the inner world and the outer world in all of us. It compels the reader to join the author in her real life experiences that come from the courage to grow by stepping out of one’s comfort zone and into the unknown, and daring to be adventurous with reality on its own terms. «View Less
