Hello and welcome to our shamanic journey practice.
I invite you to find a comfortable,
Quiet place where you will not be distracted or interrupted.
You can journey either sitting or lying down.
Make sure you are comfortable but that you are still able to stay alert.
You may pause the audio now if you'd like to take some time to get into your comfortable space.
Our journey begins by setting an intention in the form of a question.
Our collective question that we will carry as the backbone and focus of our journey is as follows.
What do I need to know in order to support my spiritual evolution?
Take a few cleansing breaths and bring your awareness to this intention and feel it with all of your senses,
With your entire being.
This is the question you will be bringing with you to the spirit world.
So with clarity and conviction,
Repeat this question out loud or to yourself at least three times.
What do I need to know in order to support my spiritual evolution?
What do I need to know in order to support my spiritual evolution?
What do I need to know in order to support my spiritual evolution?
Take a few more deep breaths here and feel clear about the purpose of your journey.
If you ever feel lost or if you lose focus throughout this experience,
Come back to your intention and feel yourself breathing this clear question into your heart center.
What do I need to know in order to support my spiritual evolution?
While listening to the rhythm of the drum,
Feel your physical body completely comfortable and connected.
Begin to visualize yourself in a lush garden full of greenery and beauty.
Notice all that surrounds you.
What does your garden look like?
Know that this is the garden of your soul.
See as much detail as you possibly can.
You are creating everything that you see.
Trust.
Trust your inner vision to take you on this journey.
As you soak in the beauty and the lushness around you,
Notice how the trees,
The plants,
And the flowers are all outlining a path for you.
Even the sounds of the birds,
The insects,
They are all guiding you in your direction.
Keep walking step-by-step with trust.
Feel the earth beneath your feet.
The path is clear.
Look around.
Look in all directions.
Notice that there is something up ahead,
An opening before you.
The trees are beginning to part.
The path is widening,
And soon you find yourself standing at an opening of an expansive field.
This is the field of potentiality,
The field of pure potentiality.
In the field lies the potential for everything and nothing all at once.
In the center of this field is a beam of light.
You are called to move closer and closer to the light until you are upon this life force energy that is beaming from the earth up to the sky as far as you can see.
As you come closer,
You encounter a gatekeeper.
At this time,
You remember your intention and why you are here.
You have come to ask,
What do I need to know in order to support my spiritual evolution?
Before you even have a chance to share your intention,
You can see that the gatekeeper knows the purpose of your journey.
The gatekeeper has been expecting you.
You are granted permission to enter into this beam of light at the center of the field of all possibilities.
Step in.
Step into the beam of light.
You immediately feel yourself merging with the energy of the light of consciousness and know that you are in a space among the masters,
The teachers,
And enlightened beings.
You see that this is not the end,
But the beginning of your journey.
You are exactly where you are meant to be on your spiritual path.
And for that reason,
You are gifted this initiation,
An opportunity to sit with an enlightened master.
In this light beam,
You are guided to a sacred temple where you may meet the master and ask your question.
As you step into the temple,
You see that the temple is empty,
With the exception of one flickering light in the center of the space.
You are left here in this space of emptiness and light.
As you sit before the candle and stare into the flame,
You feel yourself connect to the high frequency of the beam of light within which you sit.
You merge with this light energy and the candle flame,
And you know that you are a part of everything,
And everything is a part of you.
From this expansive state of awareness,
You begin to see form emerging from the formless.
The form of an enlightened being appears before you in the flickering of the candle flame.
You may recognize this being,
Or this may be your first encounter.
You sit here with one another.
You feel a deep sense of comfort and trust.
Your heart is wide open,
And you feel the divine connection spirit to spirit,
Heart to heart.
You know it is time to ask your question now.
What do I need to know in order to support my spiritual evolution?
What do I need to know in order to support my spiritual evolution?
Absorb the stillness of this moment,
Knowing that this meeting is a part of your initiation to greater awakening.
You have crafted your question in divine order,
And are now open to receiving and allowing the beauty and wisdom to enter into your heart.
Know that this enlightened master may communicate with you in words,
Symbols,
Metaphors,
Images,
Or feelings.
All of your senses are awake,
And your practice has prepared you for this moment to observe the subtleties of that which appear in your field of consciousness.
Release any doubt or expectation,
And simply open your heart to absorb the guidance that is being transmitted to you now.
After receiving a response from this spiritual master before you,
Hold this wisdom in the sacred space of your heart with the highest regard and reverence.
You have been blessed with the teachings of a master.
With deep gratitude and respect,
You bow to the enlightened being before you,
And give thanks for this opportunity to sit together.
With love in your heart,
You say goodbye,
And you begin to make your way out of the sacred temple.
As you leave the temple,
And you make your way back toward the gatekeeper,
You feel yourself filled with the essence of the beam of light.
It is in you and all around you,
And you know that you will be carrying this light with you as you leave this space.
Thank the gatekeeper for allowing you access to this illuminating beam of light,
And thank the essence of the light itself.
And now,
Step out.
Step out of the beam of light,
And see yourself brilliantly alive in the field once again.
Begin to make your way back to the path that brought you here.
Notice if anything feels different as you look around.
Feel the ground beneath you.
Look in all directions.
Feel yourself being guided once again by the spirit of the trees,
The plants,
The flowers,
The insects,
And the birds all around you.
Breathe in the beauty of nature.
Breathe in all that surrounds you,
And feel great gratitude for nature's wisdom as your guide.
You are guided back.
You are guided back home now,
To the center of yourself,
Back to your body,
Back to your breath.
As you rest here,
Notice if anything feels different within your being.
Feel the energy,
The wisdom,
And the guidance that you have carried back with you from this journey.
Place your hands over your heart center and seal in this wisdom that you have received.
Know that this wisdom has always been with you.
It is a part of you.
It is your birthright and your inner knowing.
With honor,
Carry this wisdom now with you out into the world as a part of your initiation to your spiritual evolution and awakening.
The practice begins now.
As you are ready,
Slowly begin to open your eyes and gently begin to move your body.
You may find your way up to a comfortable seated position.
You may want to spend some time now journaling about your experience and intuitively feeling into what you can interpret about the information that you have received and how you may immediately apply it to your life.
With great gratitude,
We close this sacred space and we offer our deep love,
Love for ourselves and to all beings.
We thank you once again for joining us on this journey and we look forward to sitting with you again in the future.
Namaste.
