Uh - what do you normally do in the applied spirituality department? Have any of you folks chatted up spirits before? Taken psychedelics? Do you get powerfully serene feelings from natural environments? What exactly do you mean by 'mystical experience'? Do you mean 'get blown away by the beauty of this place,' or are you serious about the UFO thing? Because, in my experience, if you or your friends go in with this 'must see ET' attitude, you'll miss the spiritual experience when it bites you on the ass. And trying to summon up a spirit just to have a trippy experience on a vacation seems like a poor way to get to know such a being, or anyone else.
I don't mean to sound too harsh. I'm sure you'll have a great trip, but your question needs more specific details about what you're looking to get out of this, and what you're looking to put into it.
It really comes down to you and your mates. You may be taking a vacation from your homeland, but you're not taking a vacation from yourself. What do you do? Would you want to make some 'Good Vacation' prayer bag, or fill your first footsteps on the hike with honey, pot, flowers, and so forth? Would your friends want to participate in some kind of ritual? Or do y'all want to smoke some grass and watch the blades of grass ripple in the wind?
The environment looks divine. I think you'd have a powerful experience just by keeping your eyes and ears open as wide as possible. Meditate while walking around. Talk to the hills and the ruins. Listen for the echoes of past life rolling over the landscape. Listen to its present, as old structures creak and collapse into new ones. |
