Upper World Shamanic Journey: Guided Healing Meditation

This guided journey is to the Upper World in the South American Quero' tradition. Upper World journeys are used for many things. Connecting with our Spirit Guides and Angels and guidance on questions and challenges are common intentions for an upper world journey. You will want to have an intention in mind before you begin. If you are new to shamanic journeying, I suggest you listen to my 5 minute shamanic journeying overview here on Insight Timer. Welcome and enjoy!

Aho and welcome.

Today I will be leading you on an upper world journey.

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 this time-honored tradition.

Before we begin,

Please choose an intention for this journey.

We should always try to be in sacred space when we journey.

As we begin,

Make sure you are in a comfortable position and take a couple of deep breaths.

Bring yourself into the present moment.

Allow your body to relax as you settle in for your journey to the upper world.

When we journey,

We state our intention and protection.

You will want to say these to yourself along with me.

You will finish the intention statement with your chosen purpose.

The intention is,

My intention for this journey is to journey to the upper world to and state your purpose.

And your protection.

Follow along with me.

When I journey,

I may only be contacted by beings and vibrations of pure light.

And this restriction includes my ego.

And when I journey,

I journey only in the etheric realms.

Allow your imagination to take you to a beautiful meadow in the middle of summer.

This is a place you have a deep resonance with,

A deep connection to.

This is your own personal meadow that you know so well.

It is safe,

Calm,

Peaceful,

And sacred.

Reach out now with all of your senses to absorb the beautiful energy that exists here.

This meadow is full of sunshine and wildflowers.

You hear the drone of insects in the distance and a brook running nearby.

Feel the warmth of the sun upon your skin.

You are completely relaxed and you enjoy this vibration.

Notice the stand of trees that surrounds this meadow and the cloud people who are gently crossing the blue,

Blue sky above.

You look to your left and notice a tall tree,

Much taller than all the others.

There is something special about this tree.

Go now to this tree spirit.

It will assist you in moving into the upper world.

It has big,

Sturdy branches that touch the ground.

It is so tall it touches the clouds.

Take a moment to greet this tree spirit and ask if it will help you today.

Then step up onto the first branch.

You find yourself climbing easily and effortlessly up,

Up,

Up,

Higher and higher.

The tree is helping you to move quickly,

Easily,

Safely.

Up,

Up,

Up you go,

Higher and higher.

You look down and notice the other trees now look very small.

And then you look up to see that the cloud people are just above your head.

As you stand on the uppermost branches of the tree,

You are gently lifted up through the clouds by the tree helper.

You find yourself standing firmly and safely on the top of the clouds.

You look down in front of you and see a ledge.

You begin to gently drift towards this ledge and a few steps that are notched into this ledge.

Step off of the clouds and onto the steps.

As you look down this ledge,

You see someone approaching.

This is Pachakuti,

The gatekeeper.

As he approaches,

Notice everything about him,

What he is wearing,

The color of his eyes.

He greets you warmly and asks the purpose of your visit.

You tell him your intention for this journey and ask permission to enter the upper world.

As you walk beside him,

You come to a door.

Pachakuti opens this door and you step into the first level,

The level of the stone people.

As your eyes adjust to the light,

You see it is a cave-like room full of every possible type of mineral stone.

Look around for a moment.

Absorb your surroundings.

You look in front of you and see a path through the rows and rows of mineral spirits.

You take this path to the back of the room where there is a doorway that opens into a desert landscape.

In front of you is a small ledge with huge sandstone cliffs above.

Walk up the steps notched into this ledge.

As you stand in the warm sun and look up at the beautiful sandstone walls,

There is a space between two walls.

Step into the cool shade of this space and notice that you are standing in back of a waterfall.

Step now into this waterfall.

This sacred water is fed by a warm spring.

Allow the water to wash over you,

Feeling its calm,

Relaxing energy as it prepares you for the upper world.

Look down at your feet and you see just beneath the surface of the water there are a couple of steps.

These steps lead down into a shallow pool.

There is a soft sand bottom that you can squish between your toes.

Move across the pond and up onto the grassy bank.

You are now in the second level,

The level of the plant spirits.

Every conceivable type of plant that ever has been or ever will be resides here.

Their spirits exist here.

Look around you at the magnificent beauty of this level.

If there is a plant you would like to connect to or work with,

You may want to come back here.

You can do that anytime you wish.

Look to your left now and notice another ledge with steps.

Take these steps and you find yourself in the third level,

The level of the animal spirits.

Every animal is here,

Those who have been long extinct and those who are yet to be born.

You may see your power animal here.

At some point you may wish to journey to this level to meet with one of them.

Walk a few steps to your left and notice the next ledge with the steps leading upward.

As you reach the fourth level,

The level of the lake of whales and dolphins.

Take a moment to observe this sacred lake.

You may see whales and dolphins playing about in the water.

Across the lake you may see figures.

These are souls preparing to incarnate.

Do not disturb them,

For they are doing their own sacred work.

Look to your left now and find the final ledge.

The ledge that leads to the fifth level of the upper world,

The level you will be exploring today.

Take the steps to the top of this ledge and look around you.

In the distance you likely see the crystalline city that is spoken of so often by those who venture here.

This is an earthy landscape with beautiful forests,

Meadows,

Mountains,

Water,

And the sky with the deep space of the universe above.

If you encounter anything that does not resonate,

Simply turn away and find where you are meant to go.

Set the intention to remember everything you experience.

I will give you a few minutes now to do your work.

Explore.

Discover.

Connect.

You are safe.

I will be back to get you.

I am right here waiting.

It is time now to begin wrapping up your time here.

I will give you a few more moments to finish what you are doing.

Okay.

It is now time to find your way back to the ledge where the steps are.

As you reach the ledge and the steps,

Look around you once more,

Intending to remember everything.

Go back down the steps now to the fourth level.

You pass by the Lake of the Whales and Dolphins and over to the ledge so that you may take the steps down to the third level,

Back to the level of the animals.

As you cross this space,

Look for the ledge and the steps that lead down to the second level,

The level of the plant spirits.

Take these steps down and set your feet upon the soft mossy ground.

Find your way to the warm pond and step into the water.

Make your way to the waterfall.

Again,

Allowing yourself to stand under the warm water,

Letting it cleanse you,

Mind,

Body and spirit.

You experience a sense of profound peace and contentment.

Step out onto the other side of the waterfall,

Into the canyon between the high sandstone walls.

Take the steps down the ledge and find yourself at the entrance to the first level,

The level of the stone people.

Enter into the cave now,

Allowing your eyes to adjust to the dim light.

Follow the path through the cave and to the door you entered in through.

If there is a mineral spirit you wish to work with,

You may visit here anytime.

As you approach the door,

It opens,

For Pachakuti has been waiting.

Step out onto the ledge and follow Pachakuti toward the steps that lead down to the cloud people.

Say farewell to Pachakuti and take the steps as you safely move out onto the clouds.

Allow the cloud people to gently take you to the place where you know the tree spirit is waiting to assist you.

You find yourself being gently lowered down through the clouds and feel your feet touch the uppermost branches of the tree.

You quickly,

Easily,

Effortlessly move down,

Down,

Down,

Closer and closer to the ground and the meadow as the tree spirit helps you descend.

Down,

Down,

Down,

Quickly,

Safely.

You go down,

Down,

Down until your feet touch the earth,

The meadow.

You are now back in the middle world,

The physical realm,

The land of humans.

Slowly allow yourself a gentle entrance back into your body,

Back into the room,

Back into your day.

Begin to move your body as you take a deep breath and slowly open your eyes.

You may want to journal about your experience,

All that happened on this journey.

Remember the smallest detail may be very important to you later.

You are welcome to join me as often as you wish for this beautiful upper world journey.

It is a great honor to hold space for you as you explore the upper world.

Many blessings to you this day.

Aho.

Reviews

Beautiful, gentle, spacious and generous. Thankyou for your help and guidance x x x

Fijne begeleiding met aandacht en respect voor alle lagen die relevant zijn tijdens de reis

I felt like I walked that journey through someone else’s heart and body.

Thank you and I know what I am supposed to be doing. Namaste 🙏

Much gratitude for guiding me through that beautiful journey.❤️

Once in the upper realm I found it difficult to focus my thoughts. I managed to find a big boulder and I set on it but I didn't feel like I fulfilled my intention.

Super! Thank you 🙏

I can’t wait to see more

Absolutely, groundbreakingly beautiful. I love the gentleness of your voice, and the mindfulness that is inherently throughout this journey. Your meditations are a quick favorite shamanic journey companion of mine!

This is beautiful, thank you x

Thank you for my amazing journey. My past dogs greated me on the animal plain to know they are there was wonderful. Connecting with my own guide and gate keeper knowing they are bringing me teaching and guidance is helping me on my purpose.

Great journeying Jerri!

delightfully imaginative and symbolic

I enjoyed the pace of this journey and find many insights along the way.

Beautiful thank you, good voice to listen too💜

Really beautiful journey to the upper world. The calming voice and slow drum is perfect to guide you into the trance. I was able to connect with my spirit animals and a native warrior who I have worked with previously. I also connected to a guardian spirit without bodily form who entered me and gave me important messages to take back to the middle world. Thank you 🙏. Aho

A wonderful journey 🌿🙏

Very useful. More to say after a few additional listens.
