Egypt 2022 - A once in a lifetime journey
For me, Egypt is a long way away. It is a world that only exists in books, movies, and televisions. I never could imagine that I would be able to be mediated inside and stand in front of the Great Pyramids and edited in them. It was an awe-inspiring, and a must experiencing, and a once in a lifetime journey.
On February 14, 2022, I started my 14 days Egypt trip with my friend Christel Fredericks along with 29 beautiful souls around the world. It included our wonderful guide Debra Stangl and Richard Kepple from Sedona Soul Adventures, Arizona. We flew from New York, JFK and arrived at Cairo on the next noon, met an amazing local guide, Raafat, from Guardian travel, Egypt. we cruised around the old Cairo on the way to our luxury hotel – Mena House, Cairo. When I stood on my balcony and viewed the Great Pyramid right in front of my eyes, I realized, it’s not a dream, it was true that I was standing in this Mythical land, Egypt.
To be honest, there was excitement in me for sure, but there was also fears deep inside of me; those fears made me worried, worried about judgement because I was the only ancient person in the whole group, worried about my second language that how to communicate with them, worried about every social event that how I am going to get involved and be included and be liked, and more worries… that bothers me and I couldn’t sleep all night. I felt nervous, I wasn’t in my center, I wasn’t grounded. Therefore, I decided to meditate.
Do you believe synchronicity, do you have faith that there is a higher you, and do you trust the Universe will listen to you and reply to you in many ways? We engaged in an ongoing relationship with Universe that constantly responds to our thoughts and actions. If you pay attention to your surroundings, you will feel things, hear things, and see things with synchronicities, and that synchronicity is the answers the Universe replied to you. With the guiding hand of the Universe, life will unfold exactly the way it should. I believed that because it happened to me on the second day after the camel ride.
Our journey began with healthy breakfast buffet and a group meditation followed by camel ride to the Great Pyramids. I felt it was different although I had been ridden camel in Morocco before in 2019, but still, I felt very unlikely my Morocco experience, I guessed, it was because my curiosity of these 7,000 years of rich history of this mythical country.
A great day spent time outside doing everything that all tourists would do, and at night after I went back to my room, I looked at photos I had for the day, there were so many pictures that my camel guide took for me during the ride, I was surprisingly found 2 images with one red dots on each with black background among all photos. I was wondering what is that and where did them came from? Usually in the past, I will delete them right away to save more space for my phone if I see something I don’t recognize or don’t mean anything to me. However, this time those two pictures stand out and caught my attention, my six-sense told me that this is a message for me.
Right away, it came to me just like direct downloading, because I teach chakra, I facilitate chakradance, I know the base chakra is color red. It is basic survival instinct, it is rooted, balanced, grounded, and calm. Those photos to me were the red dots, it comes when I had fears, worries, feeling unbalanced, not center, not rooted, and not grounded. At first, I thought it was an accidental, but then, I realized two pictures had red dots, both by the camel, with dark black background. It was unmistakably there for me for a reason.
To me, that’s co-instance, that’s synchronicity, and that’s supernatural. I believed it’s a message from the Universe, or from the God, or from the Divine, or from the higher me, or from whoever is there wants to tell me that “Letting go of your fears and don’t worry, you are ok, you will be fine.” Surprisingly from them on, I became relaxed and be me as myself. I wasn’t afraid anymore and started to enjoy my journey with them. It was unbelievable. It was such a remarkable experience.
Our journey continued in Cairo like the normal tourists visiting foreign county and seeing the local landmark like Pyramids, Sphinx, the Valley Temple, Perfume shop, the New Grand Egyptian Museum where just had a grand opening in October, 2021, Saqqara, Steppe Pyramid, Old Cairo, Citadel, and Khan El Khalili Bazaar, and of course the sight of the pyramids in the night staying on the terrace of Fayed home to watching sound and light show was amazing. However, as we moved on and traveled down toward the South after we flew to Luxor, more and more mythical history on the ancient sites standing out and showed perfectly to the “wonder of the world.” And that, you must see it, felt it, and experience it.
From Luxor down to the south, Hot Air Balloon rides, cruising on the Nile, and visited Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut’s Temple, private visit to Osirion and Dendara, Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Tomb of Nefertari, Edfu and Kom Ombo, Philae Temple, Unfinished Obelisk, Felucca ride on the Nile, and Abu Simbel tempo. I loved them all. The tombs, huge statues, mummies, coffins, carved sarcophagi, sculptures, Hieroglyphs, the amazing colors that have remained after all these years, the stories that carved into the stones, the architecture and art that they did seven thousand years ago are amazingly incredible. It is hard to describe into words of all the greatness that I saw. They were building and carving and painting these amazing treasures for thousands of years. I felt so lucky to be able to see them in real live and so appreciate their knowledge and artistry. I felt just seeing all the treasures that giving me such an appreciation and understanding of the depth of ancient Egyptian civilization. It is glorious, breathtaking, and spectacular.
Here's another thing that I wanted to share about was I experienced an incredible energy flow at the Valley of the King. For what I know the energy is not a tangible thing to see through human eyes; only radiant electromagnetic energy that you can see through a form of visible waves that call light energy. For example, sunshine, solar cells, x-rays, or Radiant heating systems; however, we were underground at tomb of K.V.6: RAMESES IX at Valley of the King; we were not allowed to use flashlight, and I wondered, where did the light energy come from? That was the first time I see energy flow through the video that I filmed. It’s unbelievable.
Well, On the fun side of our trip, I enjoyed the hot air balloon rides, the amazing experience was when I am soaring high in the sky, seeing the earth and Nile River below me, watching the sunrise in front of my eyes and feeling the warmth, experiencing the air touching and fleeting my skin, and I realized, I was in the space surrounded by the five elements. That feeling was amazing, so quiet, seems like the time stays still. I am in the zone, so focus on present with my full awareness; I enjoyed that inner peace and joy from within, it’s stunning. Galabia party was fun, we dressed up like traditional Egyptian women, singing, dancing, and picturing. Nubian’s show was also fun, we had been invited to be in part of the show, playing games, and imitated what Nubian performers asked us to do, we were laughing loud and crazy. We also celebrated for a birthday girl Melissa Hoover; and anniversary couple of Sherry and David Sivils, and 25 years for Monica Ovalle and Richard Gnaedinger. It was such a blessing to meet all those loving souls and sharing this journey.
As a globetrotter, I have been to so many countries from Asia to America, Southern America to Europe, Europe to Middle Eastern, and from Middle Eastern to Artic Circle, then to my Egypt trip, I really felt fantastic about all those amazing people are drawn to this trip together; it’s not like you travel with strangers but like traveling with dear likeminded friends that you haven’t seen for a long time. I am so grateful for having this opportunity to visiting places that are thousands of years old which are only heard of or seeing in books, movies, or televisions. I am so blessed to feel impacted by these experiences.
After all, I would say my Egypt trip was truly phenomenal; all our accommodation, Guardian travel, cruise ship, made me feel extremely cared for, super special, and feeling safe, it satisfied me both personally and spiritually
I wanted to thank my dear friend Christel Fredericks invited me to join her; and, to thanks Debra Stangle and Richard Kepple, the owner of Sedona Soul Adventures for offering this once-in-a-lifetime magical journey
And I would highly recommend, Debra and Richard, to everyone thinking of taking the Egypt trip that Sedona Soul Adventures should be your #1 Choice.
