People have different paths to happiness. We love to express ourselves through adventure and inspire others to see challenge as a way to discover their potential. On big mountains we experience emotions and states of mind that are less accessible in the hyperactive blur of Western life. There is little interference up there: no mobiles, electricity or traffic. Often, all you can hear is your own breathing and all you can see is white snow. The absence of millions of stimuli free us from the usual mental chatter. The lack of creature comforts exposes us to rarely felt physical sensations and this, along with the free mind, leads us to fully experience life with our senses. This peak experience takes us beyond proving ourselves or increasing self-esteem and clarifies meaning and purpose. It feels physically great, spiritually fulfilling, mentally uncluttered and free. By experiencing the magic of high mountains we can bring freedom and clarity to our lives. Big mountains free your mind.
