This guided practice is to enable you to enter into shamanic journey with the intention of creating a conscious connection with your spirit guide.
It is a guided visualization following a typical track of the consciousness to ascend to what's known in shamanism as the upper world,
The place of accessing archetypes,
Myths and guides.
These aspects of course are within your spirit but the visualization allows you to engage as a separate entity from this part of your spirit so that you may dialogue,
Receive guidance and direction and divination.
To begin with activate your altar by running energy through it in the form of candle flame or sound or sacred smoke for example.
Take a moment to settle into your posture for this journey.
You can be seated upright and you can be lying down.
If you prefer you can use the eye mask to cut the light to the optic nerve which enables a sharper,
Clearer visioning.
Remembering that the information that's gathered within shamanic journey can arrive as well through a felt sense or a gnosis or a clear audience or through inner vision.
Start to breathe through the nose in very deliberate,
Long,
Rhythmic breaths.
With every breath,
Every time you breathe in have the feeling that you're drawing all of your aspects into this one here and now.
Breathing in,
Drawing in your mental field.
Inhaling again,
Drawing in your emotional vibrational field.
Drawing in your auric field.
Drawing in your spirit.
All layers of your consciousness now concentrated and present within the body.
Become very aware of your immediate atmosphere,
The space that you're occupying.
Feel the atmosphere interface with your skin.
On the front,
The sides,
The back,
The crown.
And feel the contact points between your body and the support that's underneath it.
Feel yourself completely held safe and stable within your immediate atmosphere.
Become acutely aware of your being,
Acutely aware of your awareness.
Within that stillness,
Bring to heart and mind your intent.
To connect consciously,
Dynamically in your waking awareness.
Your main spirit guide.
Feel your desire for this connection.
So within your mind's eye,
Start to perceive a slit opening up in the space directly in front of your body.
It's as if the scene of the space that you're in is simply a projected image.
And this slit starts to open and light shines through from the other side.
With your intent and your energy body,
Raise your arms into the slit and pull it aside as if you were opening a curtain.
Feel your inner senses being flooded with light from this other dimension.
Leaving your physical body in your meditation posture,
Stand with your energy body and step through the opening.
And before you,
Within your inner awareness,
An enormous staircase appears.
Look up.
This staircase leads you to the temple of the guides in the upper world.
When you're ready,
Start to ascend one deliberate step at a time.
As you make your way up step by step,
Your energy body becomes markedly lighter,
Freer,
Less dense.
The further you go,
The lighter you feel,
To the point where you're simply almost flying up the stairs.
Your energy feet just brushing each step as you ascend higher and higher and higher into the upper world.
You feel the energy in your body becoming lighter and faster,
The energy in your heart space expanding,
Feeling expectation and higher harmonics of joy,
Of love.
Eventually now you arrive at the top most step.
Take a moment to look back down the staircase.
You still may be able to perceive your physical body deep in meditation on the other side of the veil.
Turn your spiritual side back around now and as you walk up into a beautiful atrium,
You are met by the temple guardian standing at the doors.
Make your way towards the doors and nod in recognition to the temple guardian.
The guardian receives your greeting and nods back.
They then turn and open wide for your entry the doors.
Step across the threshold.
You enter into a vast temple chamber made entirely of light.
Walk into the center of the chamber and take a moment to allow this new etheric atmosphere to gather and take formation around you.
Look down at your feet.
Look down at your feet.
Look up to the temple ceiling.
Sense the dimension of the temple around you.
And now with your inner spirit voice,
With the emanation from your heart,
Call to your spirit guide to come to you,
To present to you in a clear form or feeling.
Now is the time.
So so so It's time now to return to your mundane reality but before you leave a box appears.
Within this box is your guides key marker.
The way that they will communicate with you in your day-to-day reality.
The way that they will signal to you that they're close and guiding you.
Take the box.
Hold it in your hands.
Look at the dimensions of the box.
The patterning on its lid.
Feel the psychic weight of it.
And when you're ready,
Open the lid and peer inside.
Once you have psychically received your marker,
Close the lid and return the box to your guide.
Express your gratitude for this beautiful meeting in the upper world and know that you can return here at any time.
It's time to take your leave.
You turn now and walk back through the doors of the temple,
Stepping back over the threshold.
You walk past the temple guardian,
Nodding again as you leave.
Make your way across the forecourt to the top step of the staircase.
And when you're ready,
Slowly and carefully,
Still light and sure-footed,
Walk down the staircase.
Down.
Down.
Down.
You see the slit still hovering there like a projection of the dimension where your body is dwelling.
When you're ready,
Step back through into your meditation space.
Regard your physical body in meditation,
In deep state.
And when you're ready,
Turn around and sit back down or lie back down,
Reuniting your spirit,
Your astral form with your physical form.
You are now back in your body.
You can feel the touch of the support underneath your body.
You can feel the air on open skin and the cloth on covered skin.
Take three deep,
Nourishing breaths as if they were the first breaths your body has ever taken.
And when you're ready,
You can open your eyes and clap sharply three times.
Welcome back.
