Enrich Your Life 🌀 Defy Space & Time 🌀

One of the myriad of reasons we practice shamanic spirituality is the ability to move beyond the restrictions of our perceptions of time.

We perceive that time only moves forward. 

As a result, most of our culture is frantic in its attachment to the clock and calendar. While those human constructs are wonderful in making sure you and your friends arrive at the same time for dinner, they aren’t “real time.”

According to physics, time is the fourth dimension - existing with the dimensions of length, breadth, and height. However, quantum physics suggests that time may also be multidimensional, existing as a multiplicity of streams, may have depth, that it is emergent, and other concepts that are difficult for us to conceive.

However, when we journey, our consciousness is free from these familiar restraints

• Journeying may be used to contact “well ancestors” who lived long ago.
  

In an early attempt to see the possibilities of shamanic journeying, I met my great, great, grandmother so that I could get an herbal recipe of hers that was lost to time. The resulting medicine produced the exact results that the last of it provided.

• Journeying may be used to stretch our vision beyond our solar system.

The late physicist and shamanic teacher, Claude Poncelet would guide students to meet with the brightest object in our Universe, a quasar. This massive object emits light that is 500 trillion times more intense than our Sun. It is so far away that it takes 12 billion years to travel to Earth. We could never travel to such a place in ordinary reality, but we can in our journeys!

• Journeying may be used to “look ahead.”

Years ago, we had a student who had to travel a long distance by car to be a part of our in-person trainings. She would do a journey prior to getting in the car to look ahead for any information she might need for a safe trip. She was alerted to where there might be unexpected problems that she might encounter. For a total of eight years, she had incredibly effortless, 600+ mile round-trip travels.

• Journeying can be a trip inward.

On more than one occasion, I have used journeys to ask a person’s body consciousness about being in alignment with medical procedures such as surgery. This, “letting the body know what is about to occur” has made a marvelous difference in better outcomes. I first learned this decades ago when I was going to have surgery. I asked what the surgeon needed my body to do to cooperate with her work. She gave me a detailed list of what would be useful, which became the journey I did before the event. Both the surgeon and I were surprised at how well my body cooperated, how fast it recovered, and how little pain I had afterwards.

• Journeys can reveal things that were “lost.”

 Students of ours have used journeying to discover the location of old wells, of hidden structures and other landscape features or human-made structures that weren’t on any map.

In all these cases, a strong independent journey practice was a “master key” to wisdom and knowledge that would have been inaccessible in ordinary ways.

 Here are a few journeys you might want to try this month!

 Remember, the more you use journeying to enhance your ordinary experiences, the stronger and more reliable the resource will become for you.

Journey with your power animal or teacher to

• Meet a “well ancestor” who had a skill you would like to learn.
• A part of your body that needs more support. (Be sure to thank it for all it does and then ask how you can better support it.)
• Back through time to experience the land you live on before it was “domesticated.” Experience the vitality of the land and ask how to best nurture it in present time to be as strong as it once was.
  
• A time when all humans will be in harmony again with Nature, then ask what effective measures they suggest you can begin doing now!

The more you use journeying to enhance your ordinary experiences, the stronger and more reliable the resource will become.

If the above journeys don’t resonate with you, let your curiosity provide a journey intent. Just be sure to go with your power animal or teacher for extra guidance, protection and support!
