Aho!
Welcome!
Today I will be guiding you on a shamanic journey to the lower world.
If you are new to shamanic journeying,
I would like to suggest that you listen to my introduction to journeying track.
This will give you background about the time-honored tradition.
Please have your intention for today's journey in mind.
Take a couple of deep breaths.
Bring yourself into the present moment.
Allow your body to completely relax as you settle in for your journey to the lower world.
When we journey,
We state our intention and protection.
You will say these to yourself as I state them.
You will finish the intention statement on your own with your chosen purpose.
The intention is.
.
.
My intention for this journey is to journey to the lower world.
To.
.
.
And state your purpose.
And your protection.
You may say this along with me.
When I journey,
I may only be contacted by beings and vibrations of pure light.
And this restriction includes my ego.
When I journey,
I journey only in the etheric realms.
Allow your imagination to take you to a beautiful mountain meadow on a warm,
Sunny summer day.
This is a place you have been to many times.
This place exists just for you.
It is safe,
Calm,
Sacred.
Reach out with all of your senses to absorb this wonderful energy.
You feel the warmth of the sun upon your skin and sense the sweetness of wildflowers on the breeze.
Feel the soft grass as it gently brushes upon your legs.
You hear the soft drone of insects in the distance.
Observe the trees that surround the meadow and the cloud people who are gently crossing the blue,
Blue sky above.
Now look down at your feet and notice a small footpath in front of you.
This path winds gently into the trees that surround this meadow.
Take this path and step into the trees.
You feel the coolness of the shade they provide,
And you can smell the damp earth beneath your feet.
On the right side of the path,
There is a giant boulder.
Move off the path and around to the other side of this rock.
There is an opening into the earth here,
An earthy tunnel.
It is easily large enough for you to stand upright and has ambient light so you can see clearly.
Step into the tunnel now and begin to follow it down into Mother Earth.
Down,
Down,
Down you go.
You feel the cool air and the damp earth of the tunnel walls as you walk down.
Down,
Down,
Deeper and deeper into Mother Earth.
Ahead,
You see that the ambient light is coming from an arch that leads out of the tunnel and into the room.
From an arch that leads out of the tunnel and into the room of the cave.
Step into the room and observe your surroundings.
This room is welcoming and warm.
You feel safe here.
You look in front of you and see a shallow underground stream.
Approach the stream and look down at it.
You can see a soft sand bottom.
This sand has an indentation in it that fits your body perfectly.
Stick a toe in the water and you will find that the water is warm.
It is fed by a sacred hot spring.
Lie down in this stream now.
Allow the sacred water to bathe you and wash away any tension or worry.
This stream prepares us for our entry into the lower world.
Now,
Step up onto the other bank of this sacred stream.
On your left,
You see a beautiful crystal clear pond.
This pond will take you to the lower world.
Step into this pond,
Feeling the soft sand squish between your toes and feel the safe,
Soothing energy of this warm spring water.
The bottom gently rubs against your feet.

Once again,
Soaking up the beautiful energy of this sacred space.
As you relax in this beautiful energy,
You softly,
Gently begin to bring your awareness back to the room,
The present moment,
The middle world,
The land of humans.
Welcome back.
You may want to do some journaling about your experience.
It has been an honor and pleasure to journey with you today.
Aho.
