I can say that I have had spiritual travel experience. But the way I have experienced them may inspire debates. So let me tell you about the people who, I’m pretty sure, have experienced a spiritual travel or a mystic travel of the soul.

I had been to Hrishikesh, one of the most popular mystic places in India, and I met the sadhus there. They are nothing extraordinary but the extraordinariness of their ways of living. I came to learn that you just cannot leave your home and become a sadhu. You need to attain a siddhi. Siddhi is a dimension of spiritual achievement. I really did not understand all of what they said. But I could not but be surprised at their abilities. They had laptops gifted by their followers. They have mobile phones and they are well proficient in using them. But they do not have or try to have money. They eat as little as they need to. They wear nothing. They are called nanga baba (the naked monk) and it is their power to mould their souls that they really do not need anything but the mind for combating the below 5°C temperature; and that too, not for minutes, not for hours, but for days in and days out. With all my warm clothes I was shivering terribly while the nanga sadhu I was talking to behaved and talked in the way as if he was enjoying the spring breeze.

Isn’t that a spiritual travel?

It sounds more like mind over matter.  A psychic or spiritual journey is more than the mind.

I personally know of a man who believed if he thought he did not need a winter coat over his suit, he would be warm enough.  And he was through a Canadian winter.

yes, I think it is a spiritual journey to get to the place where they could live that way. All of life is a spiritual journey in itself. The spirit controls the mind which controls the body. We choose our own reality every day. Energy is all around us, we manipulate it constantly. Simply breathing is an act of manipulating energy, but even babies do it. Conciously manipulating energy takes a lot of study, dicipline and plain work.

Sometimes travel within your mind is needed to reach to a proper conclusion. Decision making process itself propels the right decision. Go in a pensieve mood and recollect your past and present to make the future better.

Mind traveling once in a month is good for mental health

I absolutely agree on this point. Here is the relevant link as well
