Spirit Journey

This guided journey uses drum and voice for journey of spirit to what is traditionally known as the “lower-world” - a place where one may access the deep wisdom and healing power of the natural world. The entire journey is carefully guided including the call back. To best utilize, form a sincere and clear intention. Imagine that you are about to meet a guide or ally in the spirit world and consider what you might ask of this guide. You may be asking for a healing experience or perhaps some information to guide your life. Find a comfortable position in a quiet, private space. Eye cover recommended. Recall your intention and then listen, following the imagery suggested. Once you have a felt sense of entering another world, allow your mind to be fluid. The experience may come as a dreamlike story or you may simply have a felt sense. If you get distracted, rest your awareness on your breath and the space between the beats of the drum and gently invite yourself back into the journey.

Transcript

Take a few long deep breaths.

Let your body soften and relax into the ground.

You can adjust your position if you need to feel more comfortable.

Just let go of any unnecessary holding.

Let the mind drop down into the heart.

Let your body remember your intention.

And rest your awareness on your breath as you let the mind cool down and drop into the heart.

Let your body feel your intention.

Let your heart feel the longing to connect with an ally.

Slowly you can feel your body resting,

Relaxing,

Softening.

And in your mind's eye,

Feel around you.

Find yourself resting on the forest floor of a great ancient redwood forest.

The mosses and ferns support you.

The tall trees surround you and watch over you.

You can feel the cool sweet air on your cheeks.

You can smell the fragrance of the forest.

And very near you is an old redwood with a hollowed out trunk.

And very slowly and gently,

You can let your soft and liquid spirit body move into that hollowed out trunk.

Leaving your body safely resting on the floor of the forest.

As you step into that hollowed out tree.

At the base of that tree is a little crevice.

Opening into the earth that runs down along the roots.

Let yourself slip into that crevice.

As you find yourself in a passageway going down deeper and deeper and deeper.

You can feel yourself moving down along the roots of the tree.

Deep into the earth.

The walls of the passageway are smooth and cool.

You can feel yourself going down and down.

Very gradually that tunnel begins to widen.

There's a dim light.

It levels out.

And you find yourself in a room far below the surface.

There's a fire in the middle.

You can warm yourself there.

And it illuminates the walls.

You can see this is a place where many have passed.

On the far side of this room is an opening.

Like a doorway into a whole other world.

Another landscape.

So gather yourself.

The threshold of that opening facing outward.

Find your balance on your feet.

Feel your body standing there.

And let your heart call out to the other side.

Calling out your intention.

Calling out to be met by an ally from this world.

And then with your next breath,

Step across that threshold.

And follow whatever path opens in front of you.

As you open all of your senses to however spirit wants to meet you.

As you go on your journey.

You'll find yourself in a room far below the surface.

There's a dim light.

It levels out.

And you find yourself in a room far below the surface.

And you find yourself in a room far below the surface.

Pausing now from wherever you are.

Extend your gratitude for the company you've kept.

And turn now.

Come back along the path you've taken.

Find your way back to that room far below the surface.

And then make your way back up through that tunnel.

Back up the passageway that runs along the roots.

Let the roots of the tree guide you up and up.

Back up to the surface as you slip through that crevice.

And enter the hollowed out trunk of the tree.

And then seep back into your body.

Resting on the mossy ground.

As you come lovingly and gently back to the present moment.

Thank you for watching!

Reviews

Had a psychic trip. A Native woman sjowed up for me and took me through the desert, showed me women dancing. I got wn intense pain in my neck and left the journey to get a book from my book closet re neck pain. Insted, right infront of me was a book with my guide on the cover. I don't remember the book or ever having bought the book. I shall dtart it today. Whoa.

Absolutely magnificent. The use of sound is incredible, never heard something quite like it in a meditation. It took me some place very deep and I had a wonderful, insightful reunion with my guides 💜 I'm so grateful to you, Jan! Thank you and bless you ☺️✨

Thank you. I travelled through a portal to a place of peace and calm and fell asleep. I will play this again around a fire …

Gorgeous meditation

I love the drum beat, it really helps me to keep focus on my senses. I always use this meditation when I want to receive from the spirit. Thank you for facilitating the journey, love.

Will need to listen a few more times to get the full benefit, but I enjoyed the drums and the journey. Thank you 🙏

Interesting but my brain is too busy to stay attentive to just drum…

Absolutely fabulous journey, I look forward to the next 🙏

Really wonderful. I felt that I was with my late father and several of his ancestors, Lakota Sioux.
