Go On A Vision Quest, Your Shamanic Gateway To Manifestation

You are a shaman - we are all born from ancient lineages. And once upon a time many dreaming moons ago our ancestors sat by the fires telling stories, weaving and dreaming their lives into being. You are them and they are you. Reach into your cellular memory as your dreaming time activates the threads of your reality.

#VisionQuest #ShamanicJourneying #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual

All and none it is up to you. Tools are sacred and used with intent - should you choose or they choose you; treat them with love and respect - as a valued member of your extended family.

They can and will assist your dreaming, your journey work if you ask them.

Shamanism is where you stand. It isn't another place, culture, or time.  You're already on the path. With your attention and intention, you can create what you want.

To practice primary perception shamans have developed a kind of “common sense” that bridges all of the senses. They are able to taste fire, to touch the fragrance of a flower, and to smell an image. They attain immediate perception before an experience is divided among the senses. This ability is known as synesthesia and is commonly found in artists and musicians. 

There is an audio file here for you to listen too. A video version appears in the assignment. It is important for you to start working with all of your senses. We have collectively shut ourselves down and it is time to start opening into a splendid multi-sensory realm rather than a strictly literal one.

A fabulous synesthesia exercise involves “tasting” our emotions. Become aware of the taste in your mouth. Is it sweet? Sour? Woody? Metallic? Now recall an incident that made you feel happy. Notice if the taste in your mouth changes. Think of a dangerous situation, and notice again how the taste in your mouth changes. Now draw an instance where you felt fear. Can you savour the taste of joy? Of fear? Of love?

Shamanism is alive, it means we walk fully engaged with all of our senses. It is not just about drumming, rattling and dancing. For me, it´s about being able to rest deeply in your own energy, going further and further – past your own emotions, pre-conceptions - going so far within that you reach that state of No-Thing and All-Things.

Shamanism is not just about drumming, dancing. For me, it´s about being able to rest deeply in your own energy, going further and further – past your own emotions, pre-conceptions - going so far within that you reach that state of No-Thing and All-Things.

Your sight and gifts of discernment awake

We often speak of creating sacred space. Look as your body as if it is a temple, a beautiful sacred site, this sacred site is within and what is manifested in our outer world is the reflection of our inner world. We will journey inside to make peace and heal our shadow selves, to see the darkness we have hardened to and to release like the layers of onion all that no longer serves us.

Working deeply with our Earth Mother, we need to become experienced in journeying into the great mysteries of sacred time, healing the relationship with our Mother Earth and all living things. We are the dancers, the singers here to serve, we are here to see authentically through our own vision quest. "Behold a sacred voice is calling you; All over the sky a sacred voice is calling."         Black Elk

Spiritual Healing gifts for you and to share with others
#VisionQuest #ShamanicJourneying #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual

When we continually live our life with a safety net it creates a barrier to our freedom. The drumming serves to free us into the realms of priceless beauty and wonder. See your inner dreaming shaman come to life as you dare to explore. I love drumming to call in the moonrise, to see the sunset to cleanse our home, to cleanse myself, to set the seen to vision quest - simple dare.

"What drains your spirit drains your body. What fuels your spirit fuels your body" Caroline Myss. What are you choosing?

Shamanic Drumming is a very steady constant beat that brings you into a deeper sense of consciousness and allows the right and left brain to work in unison. This often allows listeners to experience deep relaxation, insights and mystical experiences.

A drum that speaks with the voice of thunder—and sends its rousing call deep into the unseen world. Long lost to our culture is the trust in life, deep knowing and connection to all things inherent in the wisdom of the seasons and cycles of the moon.

Let us all get a taste of what is to come. We are going on a journey into the spirit realms accompanied by me drumming to assist you. During this meditative journey, you may move to the drumbeat, in your rhythm, you may sit, letdown, whatever calls you. You may drum along or simply allow my drum to "lure" you in.

We all have guides here to help us in the spirit realm. Maybe you already know who some of yours are if you do this will deepen your relationship with them. For others, this may be a very new experience. You may not meet anyone the first time, know that that is okay. Take your time and be patient. There is no right or wrong on the path of the Shaman dreaming landscapes of colour and wonder into life. 

Consciously choose to birth your dreaming.

Journey beyond The Sensory Realm

Allow me to lay the path before you, beautiful and crooked, abundant blessings at every turn… it welcomes you… It beckons you … be fearless in your visual journey and follow that trail, feel free to pause and ponder, sit under a soft purple tree and sip warm strawberry tea.

This is an amazing shamanic ritual exercise to expand you. Practice this exercise until you are able to clearly sense the texture and feel of the membrane of your Luminous Energy Field.

#VisionQuest #ShamanicJourneying #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual

The exercises you’ve done thus far give you a sense of the texture and intensity of the energy in the chakras. Most healers do not get beyond this stage. They feel the strength and weakness of the energy and nothing more. We want to develop the next stage, the qualitative measures. What information does the energy contain? What are the stories, the joy and the pain?

Much is made of developing our awareness to sense the other realms of being. You have completed a series of exercises in this section all dedicated to expanding your awareness. Some will have worked better than others. Hopefully however you felt a difference and have a heightened sense of awareness

The energy of Loving Wisdom implies a relationship of understanding and compassion, healing, teaching and the ability to let go. It has a strong relationship to strength and courage and the ability to be in a heroic situation, the ability to give of your own self, in order to make sure that others are in safety. At the same time on the weak side, there is a lack of faith, hopelessness, self-centeredness and self-concern as an opposite. WE are working with the heart centre.

We are moving into a whole new dimension of being. No longer lost as once again we are beginning to listen again, we are actively dreaming as we are called to vision quest.

This is a way of vision questing to reunite you with yourself - the great spirit fuelled dimensions that are everywhere - waiting for you to answer the call. To come home to who truly are. There is grace and we are in the time of wonderment, it is time for you to shine, not in an egoic way, in a pure, gracious, lusty, glorious wonder fuelled path. tasting, breathing love.

We will enter in dreaming that will gift you clarity. You will hone your shamanic skills to communicate with your spirit guardians.

Seven cycles of breathing to take you directly into your Earth garden to dream, to journey. Enjoy - please note this video also appears in my Faery Shamanic Course. This exercise is also referred to as the death breath because it is not a simple as you think - the breaths are long and slow as are the pauses!  Vision Quest and Dream vividly.

#VisionQuest #ShamanicJourneying #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual

We are one heartbeat - we are one breath. When we realise this our dreaming, our daring to vision quest changes into the tangible knowing that we are connected from to evermore. Our lives shift and will never and the same.

#VisionQuest #ShamanicJourneying #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #Meditation

We are hard-wired for knowledge and it is so tempting in our modern-day culture to almost desperately want to try and mentally understand everything including spiritual practices. And here you are travelling deep into the practice of shamanism. However, let go as the practice of shamanism cannot be mentally understood. This is a felt practice.

Over time you wish to journey settle slowing your breath and simply breathing deeply. Slip into a gentle relaxation before you embark on your journeys. Feel your way, allowing your experiences to be your guide. Be patient with yourself, this does not need to be overly long and definitely not onerous! Engage some journeys where you simply relax and get to know your helping spirits. If you have nature by your side then it is a gift to go outside and lay down upon our Earth Mother infusing with the in the invisible realms and connecting with the heartbeat of our Earth mother. 

In the practice of shamanism, there is a fine line between trying too hard and not trying at all. Be present and aware, don't force that path because the realms will most likely remain firmly shut. Let go of your preconceptions of whom and where you are going to be met in the spirit realms. Be curious.

Shamanism is a practice of direct revelation and you can ask your own helping spirits all the questions that are on your mind.

And stay open to the surprise element in your journeys. You might meet helping spirits you never thought you would meet. And you might receive healing while you were on a journey that you did not expect.

Remember shamanism is a lifelong practice, let your own experiences guide you, remain persistent and happy with what is.

This Reverential life lived in service. It is the ability to have a Revelation that gives you the ability to aspire toward spiritual quests, understanding and goals that lead us to help other people and open up spiritually to spirituality within others. It is a very natural response of all Saints and the foundation of religions. On the other side, it has to do with astral forces - psychism and mediumship which conjure spirits and work with divination and contact with lower astral/psychic forces. It moves people into emotions and a deluded view of what is going on in life making them attached and dependent on people. The lower expression can lead to addictions, the desire for money and material possessions - all of these astral elemental forces are located in the Solar Plexus.

Shamanic journeying is a core practice to work with on your vision quest. Working in harmony and sacred geometric form. Everything is like a sacred design and everything architecturally begins manifesting in ways that are very harmonious with nature and long-lasting, just like nature itself. It's a natural way of progression for things to move through just like human relationships, choosing the right partner, going to the right place, enjoying life. It's all Right Relationship. The opposite is being caught up in a peer group that has nothing to do with a person, with nature or spontaneity, but simply being part of a group or clique. Honouring the sacral centre.

Shamanic journey is the practice of direct revelation, where you experience meeting and communicating with your Spiritual guides and teachers in the other dimensions. These guides are Light beings that are there to assist you in all areas of your life. 

In this section you will learn the the shamanic journey technique; how to journey safely into the unseen worlds for healing, wisdom, love, and power. You will learn how to journey in your dreaming body into non-ordinary reality; finding your spirit helpers and guides.

You will have the opportunity to discover your Power Animal. Through the conscious re-connection with your Power Animal there is an opportunity to begin the process to uncover and re-cover your true sense of inner power. This will support you to embody your personal power in your life. Your Power Animal can teach you so much about reclaiming your instinctual powerful self and letting go of the negative conditioning that stops you from being fully empowered in life. 

You will learn how to create Sacred Space; to communicate directly with Spirit to create a powerful and protective space in which to enter non-ordinary reality. This is an introduction to walking the shamanic path and the shamanic journey is a cornerstone of that path.

This is a powerful tool for life!

Are you foggy and groggy unable to recall your dreaming time? Have you considered this could be due to poor diet. If so then try this week long vision quest to clear yourself of some of the toxins inside. For some this is easy - others will have headaches (caffeine withdrawal can be tough), sugar withdrawal can leave you grumpy and the artificial salts leave you twitching for them. It is however doable - I dare you. One week and you may see dramatic changes to your overall health. Please I am not asking you to never have a coffee or a glass of red wine again! Just have a go and see how you fare. 

You may skip this section if you believe your diet and health are in good form. Remember to the tick the completed box if you wish to move on. 

Snacking constantly and eating three meals was not the way of our ancestors. – we used to feast and fast.

This is a dietary way for you to choose this is an age-old practice called Vision Quest. Through fasting and meditation, a Vision Quest awakens the body’s self-repair and regeneration systems and reconnects you to Spirit and your own deepest purpose. 

When we fast we turn on our body’s repair mechanisms and clear brain fog. Even during a very short fast, amazing things happen to the body and brain. For example I gave up my daily coffee addiction. In just 24 hours, the production of human growth hormone increases by 1,500 percent, repairing cells that make up our tissues. Not eating sugars for as little as 18 hours wakes up the body’s system for self-repair, detoxifies cells, and switches on the longevity genes

I make no health claims what so ever and advise that if you are on medication(s) that you seek guidance from your health care team.

#VisionQuest #ShamanicJourneying #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual

My spiritual pathway has involved far more subtraction than addition, i.e. removing old patterns of behaviour and old stale beliefs rather than the addition of new shiny lifestyle upgrades. Can you imagine how much baggage you carry around if you keep on adding!

In addition to the scientifically proven health benefits of fasting, the act of simply noticing what it feels like to be hungry, then sitting with that sensation and ultimately making peace with it is a powerful spiritual practice. Often those initial pangs of hunger are phantom sensations, disguising some other wound-based pattern that is waiting to be acknowledged and healed.

A Sacred Challenge: A disclaimer – I write this with a keen awareness that eating disorders have become a serious concern in the modern world. I propose this eating ritual as a temporary experiment to be approached with mindfulness and a degree of caution.

Dream and vision 7-day quest wellness diet to assist you in reaching your core knowing.

Could you rise to the 7-day challenge? That means eating meat, seafood, eggs, vegetables, fruit and nuts, and nothing else for 21 meals straight. No sugar, alcohol, grains, legumes and dairy - in short, one week to clean up your body and dream your life into being.

Certain food groups like sugar, grains, dairy and legumes may be having a negative impact on your health without you even realising it, every single thing you put in your mouth is either making you more healthy or less healthy.

By removing these foods for even one week you will gain a sense of what works for you and what doesn't, and potentially change your relationship with food forever. This is not about losing weight - it is about awareness and your relationship with food. With every meal you prepare and eat this week - really take your time to savour the food. At the end, begin reintroducing foods based on your experience. Its aim is simple -  it guides you not to eat processed foods and eat more whole foods.

I am not into demonising food. Grains for example are not bad when you consume the right grains and in moderation, butter is a second-string fatty acid and helps you feel full, and there are many health benefits to consuming a small amount of good quality coffee.

Everything seems to have its day in the sin bin! Thus I do not believe in eliminating entire food groups  that form the basis of a healthy diet because some expert says that this week we should - only to change their minds in two years time! Dairy products, for example, are packed with calcium, vitamin D and protein, while legumes such as beans and chickpeas are inexpensive plant-based sources of protein. 

I make no health claims whatsoever and advise that if you are on medication(s) that you seek guidance from your health care team.

Those of you who know me well know my two primary Shamanic influences come from Dr Alberto Villoldo and Sandra Ingerman. This diet section is based on the work of Dr Villoldo's One Spirit Medicine which I have completed. You do not have to purchase the book nor go on the retreat, however both are wonderful. There is the realisation that not everyone can afford to travel on retreat thus the book is borne.

It requires great inner stability to walk this path; you cannot drink ayahuasca in order to gain physical, mental or emotional stability, these qualities are prerequisites before you drink the medicine.

What is happening in the Western world with ayahuasca has little to almost nothing to do with the traditional shamanic work with this plant in the Amazon. As we grow more disconnected with great spirit - with nature, our dear Earth mother we grow more desperate. This is a growing ‘scene’ and a troubling one. Too many people step in thinking they are doing the right thing however they are not prepared and it can have dire consequences.

Let us be proactive in creating opportunities for powerful new beginnings. Why not celebrate this with a Sacred Hot Cacao drink that helps us create space for conscious connection

Sacred Hot Cacao

10 oz. hot water, or almond milk or coconut water 2 Tbsp. best raw cacao powder or paste 2 Tbsp. honey 1 Tbsp. organic coconut oil 1 tsp. maca powder ¼ tsp organic vanilla extract Pinch of cayenne Pinch of cinnamon

Directions:

1. Put all ingredients, except for cinnamon, into a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. 2. Whisk all ingredients until they are combined. 3. Once the pot is simmering, remove from heat and pour into your cup. 4. Sprinkle cinnamon on top and enjoy!

Using Cacao In Ceremony

A Maya legend tells us that whenever there is an imbalance between humans and nature, cacao comes from the rainforest to open people’s hearts and return the planet to a state of harmony. Some shamans, therefore, consider cacao the “food for the shift.” It represents the new order of love and peace, which is being cultivated right now.

When you consume cacao prepared for the ceremony using high-quality raw cacao beans, all the mood-enhancing neurochemicals in cacao become particularly active. There is increased blood flow and nutrition to the brain, heart and skin, the whole body is nourished, awareness and focus is heightened and sensations are intensified

The ceremony is a safe and beautiful space that supports meditation (reflection and connection to the “larger aspects of yourself”). This creates a wonderful opportunity to explore and sit with the stories of the heart and to identify areas that are causing you restriction, limitation and pain. You have the chance to relax deeply and receive insights, inspiration and creative ideas that can give you clarity on the “next steps” of your life and where you can support your overall health.

Many people report a deep sense of joy and peace, a connection to something bigger than themselves as well as insights of limiting behaviours, thoughts and feelings that are able to be understood and released within the safe environment of the ceremony.

Precautions:

If you have any significant health challenges (i.e. having chemotherapy treatment) or are on high levels of anti-depressants, this precludes you from working with Cacao in a ceremonial context without consultation from your health professional(s).

Preparation required for this event:

You will need to avoid caffeine on the day. It is recommended you follow a fairly simple and alkaline focused diet the day before, and on the day of the ceremony (including avoiding alcohol).

Please arrange a quiet, gentle evening for after the event as symptoms of physical and emotional detoxification can arise unique to each individual.

I make no health claims whatsoever and advise that if you are on medication(s) that you seek guidance from your health care team.

Shamanic Perception Exercise. Simply gaze at your face through your left eye. You will slowly move perception from your base chakra - through to your sacral chakra - you will see many faces along the pathway. Your face may even disappear at this level. You then shift your left eye perception up to your third eye - the image should stabilise here. Feel for the messages that are waiting for you. Then when you are ready move up to the level of Spirit beyond your crown chakra.

Active dreaming through the divine practice of yoga Nidra will leave you refreshed and dreaming.

Yoga Nidra can be used in many amazing ways. Yoga Nidra, sometimes referred to as ‘lucid sleeping’ is among the deepest possible states of relaxation while still maintaining full consciousness. It is not quite the same as "lucid dreaming", though the two can be easily confused since the practices that lead to lucid sleeping can also generate lucid dreaming. In our information-dense world it can be puzzling however know that the two states are actually only slightly different. With Yoga Nidra or lucid sleeping, we remain in a deeply relaxed state yet conscious and aware.

There is a yoga nidra mp3 meditation as a supplement to help dream your vision quest:

#VisionQuest #ShamanicJourneying #Shamanism #Meditation #Manifestation #Spirituality #Spiritual #YogaNidra

This is the brief story of my solo fasting/meditative vision quest. It is the source of inspiration for this course.

Let me say this upfront - the solo vision quest is not for everyone - however with preparation everyone can do it. Most of the time you will read that it generally it takes place in a natural setting. Fasting and meditation are the central tenants of your quest to bring about a profound experience of awakening to Spirit, to release your dreams that have been suppressed and to realising your oneness with all creation. This will leave you with a great sense of your own power to dream your life into being.

Start at the very start as before beginning your vision quest, ensure your health is optimal - it is strongly advisable that you have left any cravings for sugar, caffeine, alcohol behind so some time - the longer the better! This way your body knows will to go into ketosis—the state of switching from glucose to fat as its energy source. Otherwise you will be miserable and hungry for three days without deriving the healing benefits of the vision quest.

The following suggestions will help make your three-day vision quest a success: Location: If you choose not to go into the wilderness for your vision quest you can pick a place closer to home—even in an urban area. To find a suitable location for the vision quest, do your research so you are in a safe beautiful place as it is of no use being in an area known for its deadly snakes l as I am or maybe being stalked by a wild animal in your wilderness or secluded spot in nature. If you are closer to home maybe in a local park or marine environment however be aware that cats have an uncanny sense of where to lie, while dogs are always sniffing around, and will be curious and want to check you out. Ensure your place is beautiful, safe, and sufficiently secluded that you will not be interrupted by hikers.

Equipment: You can bring a sleeping bag and sleeping pad, and, if you wish, a tent. Be sure to pack a notebook or journal and a pen, so you can record your dreams and any memories or strong feelings that arise. Do not bring a computer or other electronic devices, or any reading material. Unless you have made a contract with yourself about a sever restriction of the use of you computer for example as I did with my one hour upper limit per day.

You can bring a mobile telephone for case of emergency us only. Be sure to inform a friend or family member (or if you’re staying in a public park or preserve, a ranger) exactly where you’re going to be). If you wish, you can ask someone to check on you once a day, preferably in the evening, as long as they don’t distract you.

Setting the space: When you arrive at the spot for your vision quest, draw a circle about 20 feet in diameter around your tent. This is your spot, and you will stay inside this circle for the next three days, stepping out only to relieve yourself in the woods or behind a bush. (Pack a few plastic garbage bags for waste disposal.)

Fasting: Fasting is a central part of the vision quest. In addition to putting the body into ketosis, it detoxifies the cells during autophagy and turns on production of stem cells in the brain.

You will get hungry, and your stomach will start growling. Often, the growling will be louder in your head than in your stomach; your limbic brain misses glucose-rich food and believes it will die if it skips a meal. Turn the growling into an opportunity to observe how wild the mind is.

Along with hunger pangs, you will most likely experience mood swings, low energy, and irritability during the first day or so of fasting. Most of the discomfort comes from the fact that your body is detoxifying. During the first 24 hours of a fast, you will burn through all the glycogen stored in your liver, then you will begin burning protein from your muscles, including the heart. After that your body will go into ketosis and switch over to burning fats. You can tell when you’ve switched to burning fats because your hunger pangs will go away.

Fasting for three days is perfectly safe for most people in good health. If you have any concerns, check with your physician or health counselor before starting the vision quest. If you are diabetic, or taking medication, or dealing with acute illness, do not fast without first consulting a doctor.

During your vision quest, listen to your body and follow its guidance. If at any time you feel very sick, or your blood sugar is dropping dangerously, break your fast. I always some basic foods like nuts and dried fruit in my vehicle, in case of emergency. Knowing there’s food not far away may make it harder to maintain your fast, however you can turn this longing into a meditation—another opportunity to observe the madness of the limbic mind.

Water: It’s imperative to stay hydrated. You should drink at least four liters of water a day, so plan accordingly when you pack your provisions. If you are making your vision quest in an arid desert climate, you will need more water—closer to six liters a day. The rule is to pee every hour. If you’re not peeing that often, you’re not drinking enough water.  Boredom: You will be bored. Take boredom as an indication that you are getting close to the state of contemplation you want to be in. Boredom and restlessness are the result of the limbic brain thrashing about for attention. Stay with the boredom, knowing that this is part of the process. Like hunger, it will pass.

Time: Leave your watch at home. Checking the time will not make it go by any faster, and you are trying to step into timelessness. Set your inner clock by the sun and the stars.

Meditation: During the day, you can do a meditation.  In the evening, if you light a fire or a candle be sure the fire is extinguished completely before you fall asleep and naturally leave the area.

Prayer: During your vision quest, pray, giving thanks for the beauty around you and for every breath you take. Give thanks for your hunger pangs or the wolves you are sure will devour you during the night. Practice praying with your heart and not with your head.

Ending your vision quest: Plan to end your three-day vision quest before nightfall on the third day. Before you leave the site, be sure to pick up all trash, and carry it out with you. Make sure you leave the place as you found it—or cleaner. Leave no trace
