What a month this has been spending the entire time in Egypt! This was my 25th trip to Egypt! I’ve been going since 1983. It’s so amazing that every single time there are new things which happen, new things to see, and new downloads and awarenesses which come in. My friends sometimes say, “Aren’t you over Egypt yet?” And the answer is definitely not!
This year was another incredible adventure – two trips, two fantastic groups, double the energy, double the fun.
We were in a cocoon of amazement the entire time.
As our shaman in Peru, Jorge Luis Delgado, says, it was EXTRAORDINARY – Extra + ordinary.
Where do I start?
The ceremonies we did were truly extraordinary. We had private time in the Great Pyramid and between the paws of the Sphinx. Just us, no other tourists. I got an email from one of our people yesterday and he said:
“I felt emotions that I could not control. I tried to, but I could not control it and I don’t know what that was. I tried to hold it back, but I couldn’t. Honestly, that was one of the greatest moments of my life.”
And look at this photo which Richard took when we were in Abydos. What the heck is this? We were in Abydos and Richard suddenly said to me, “Give me your phone, give me your phone.” He took this photo and he said, “I saw this energy” and then took the photo. We showed it to our amazing guide, Raafat, and he immediately said, “That’s her Ba.”
In ancient Egyptian belief, the Ba is essentially the soul. In this ancient temple, her soul literally showing itself.
How can you measure that kind of experience? There are no words.
I’m reminded of something Oprah said a number of years ago where she said she no longer wants presents, she wants experiences.
And aren’t we all looking for something to make our lives more than just ordinary? Extraordinary.
We were especially blessed to have our dear friend, Rob Wergin and his beautiful wife, Alex, on our first trip.
Rob is such an amazing healer and he added so much to the ceremonies, what a gift!
We also did a private visit to the Tomb of Wahtye. Again, this is closed to the public, you can only get in with a private visit.
The tomb was just discovered in 2015 and it is so unusual, it is turning on its head some of the beliefs that archeologists have about the tombs in ancient Egypt, so fascinating.
The tomb was featured in the Netflix documentary “Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb” and our guide for this tour was in the documentary. He’s a young man and he’s the one in the documentary where every time they find something new they would say to him, “You jump in and see what’s in there!” How extraordinary to have his insights in this incredible place.
The friendliness of the Egyptians is just legendary and really real. Some people will say to me at the beginning of the trip, “Oh they just want our money, that’s why they’re so friendly” and then by the end of the trip, they get it – it’s for real.
Okay, check this out. Christel is a wonderful woman who I just love and she did a Soul Adventure with us a number of years ago. Then she went on the Egypt trip with us three years ago. After that, she completed our Soul Coaching Certification and became one of our Soul Coaches (I love how these trips always produce life-long connections). We had our monthly coaches meeting yesterday and I was talking about the Egypt trip and we were reminiscing about the Egypt trip she was on.
She told me for the first time that when she was in Egypt with us three years ago, she struck up a friendship with a woman who is a waitress at the Sonesta St. George Hotel in Luxor, the beautiful hotel we always stay at which is right on the Nile. She and this woman have stayed friends and she told me she’s received over 1000 messages from her on What’s App, just saying, “How are you?”, etc.
After our conversation yesterday she texted me, “She is such an amazing soul. I’m not sure how I was gifted with such a special friendship. Life can be so unexpected and beautiful!”
We went to a new jewelry store this year which was opened by one of my Egyptian friends (oh my gosh, such beautiful stuff!) and after we were there for about 15 minutes, one of the men in the shop came up to me and said, “I know you.” I just thought he was someone who recognized me from my being in Egypt twenty-five times, but then he suddenly said, “I’m Ramadan Ramy! We've been friends on Facebook for over 20 years!”
I couldn’t believe it! I met him over 20 years ago in one of the bazaars and we became friends on Facebook, and he’s always posting things like, “Here’s what the Luxor Temple looks like today,” etc. And we’ve had this sweet connection for all these years!
It’s these friendships and connections we have made over all these years that is the biggest thing for me. From high up officials to vendors who sell things like papyrus calendars. There’s a little old man in Abydos who we buy these from every year.
Every year I’m not sure he’ll still be there, he’s so aged, but every year he’s there and so excited to see us, it’s so sweet.
Everyone’s back now and they’re all sharing their incredible finds.
Egypt is known for its alabaster, isn’t this magnificent?
And look at this fabulous bowl! Just incredible.
Two other people got this beautiful rug. I have eight Egyptian rugs in my house, they remind me of my travels every time I look at them!
So it’s not all serious spiritual stuff, we have so much fun!
Plus, the new Grand Egyptian Museum! Oh my Goddess! It is just spectacular! It’s so huge, it’s state of the art, and it is so beautiful…I can’t wait for the Grand Opening. We saw the great entrance hall, plus the 12 new galleries which opened a few months ago. Just spectacular!
And now, it’s finally opening!! It will officially open on July 3. On our trip next year, we will spend an entire day there.
What I’m most excited about will be the King Tut Exhibit. For the first time ever, they will be displaying all of the over 5,000 artifacts that were found in King Tut’s tomb! Most of these have never been shown to the public and I can’t wait!!
I can’t even fathom what this is going to look like. I intend to spend the entire day there next year, soaking it all in.
Would you like to join me? Would you like to experience this incredible place?
Would you like to have an extraordinary adventure?
We’re putting all the details together right now, but they’ll be available soon. Join our wait list and you’ll get first dibs when we formally announce the trip. The first trip this year sold out in 11 days, so I know this next trip will go even faster! Go here to join the wait list.
Finally, I have to give big thanks and huge appreciation to Guardian Travel, who took such fabulous care of us. Mohammed and Raafat are both extraordinary. Almost every day on both trips, someone would say to me how amazing, incredible, caring, chill, and balanced Mohammed is. No matter what came up, he handled it in a gracious, easy way.
And Raafat knows everything, I’m not exaggerating. His knowledge and insights are stellar. And he’s so much fun!
These were VIP Tours and we all felt like VIPs. We didn’t touch our luggage for two weeks (what a gift!), we stayed at the most amazing places (oh gosh, our cruise ship was out of this world!), the private visits, everything was just extraordinary.
So I’d love to have you join me next year. The trips will be around the same time as this year, at the end of February/beginning of March (because the weather is perfect then – nice and warm, but not too hot!).
And if you have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out – request a call and I’ll call you – I love talking about Egypt!
The first question most Americans have is, “Is it safe?” We had such a beautiful, peaceful time. The Egyptian people are some of the warmest, friendliest people I’ve ever met in my life.
I hope you’ll join us.
Amy says, “My Soul Adventure was the experience of a lifetime, transforming my negative beliefs and finding my inner peace within my inner self as I follow my life purpose.”
Wow, such great words:
- “Experience of a lifetime”
- “Profound”
- “Transforming negative beliefs”
- “Finding inner peace”
- “Following my life purpose”
Isn’t that the ultimate? Because that’s what we’re doing all day, every day (literally 365 days per year) here at Sedona Soul Adventures. We’re finding, releasing, and healing the Core Wounds, traumas, fears, blocks, patterns, and limiting beliefs (what we affectionately call “the gunk”), and then doing processes to bring you into connection on all the levels – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Once you release the gunk and come into connection all of these things happen:
- Inner peace
- Negative thoughts and beliefs are transformed
- You experience a new level of joy and connection in your life
- You can find and start living your life purpose
