MAKING THE JOURNEY

Shamanism is traditionally an oral teaching.

As such you will really learn more from a Shaman teacher then a book or website.

The main thing is that the Shamanic experience is totally natural.

Journeying is much like dreaming except it is conscious and always has a purpose.

You are also always able to direct your movements.

There are many questions for you to journey on.

You may ask about love, relationships, work or other problems.

You may also journey to meet ancestors, guides, gods or journey for healing.

Define your sacred place before you start.

Make sure the room is as dark as possible.

You will need your drumming music.

Clear your mind.

Relax.

Some people like to journey lying down while others like to sit crossed legged.

Allow a feeling of trust to envelope you.

Take several deep breaths in rythum.

Start the drumming.

As the drumming sounds go to your journey center.

Hold your purpose in mind and see what unfolds.

Ride on the drumbeat.

Dont try and analyse your journey while your on it, do this afterwards.

Now is simply the time to experience it.
