Journeying

The word “journey” here (and later) refers to a shamanic journey, an ancient practice worldwide. Using protocols (often specific to culture) and with intention, you shift consciousness via drumming or another sound source and enter other worlds for information or healing on behalf of others. Allies may accompany you when journeying, for power and protection; for instance, Big Cat, a power animal who first came to me in meditation, reappeared much later in a dream, and guided me to meet the Deep Ancestors, is my Deep Earth ally. You also can link energies with another person, as David and I have done several times, to journey together.
