Journeying

Last night I went to a monthly held drumming/shamanic journeying cirlce held in my community. I had not been for many moons. We were ased to send healing from our places of journey.

As i journeyed i went to a rain forest. I found myslef following a blue parrot who in addition to leading me agreed to carry healing to all those in my intentions.
This included all those who have posted requests here at the Reiki Cafe. I asked the blue parrot to accpet Reiki on behalf of all those intentions. He flew underneath the canopy of the forest.

Then a black Jaguire appeared. He growled to get my attention. I was calmly aware of necessary fear and yet was not afraid. The parrot landed on the jaguire's back.

They started walking intot he rain forest/jungle. I followed. I also asked the Jaguire to carry Reiki to those I held in my intention.

After a while, we came to a place where ancient ruins grew out of the jungle. The buildings were covered with carings and images of animnals and birds and enlightened beings.

I had a sense that these structures were temples and very sacred. The rising above the entanglements of the jungle made a strong impression.

After "returning" and sharing the visions of the journey with the healing cirlce, the Shaman shared that he had seen the spirit of the black jaguire from Peru come into the energy of the room and circle.

May the healing of parrot and jaguire touch us all along with the energy of Reiki!

Perhaps those who are interested can coordinate a time for drumming and doing a journey?

Dear David Isiah,

That would please me and an excellent idea.
I had the fortune of doing a journeying excercise led by a shaman at a seminar & the feeling of connection & peace was quite remarkable.


peace & joy,

Others may have a different opinion, but I feel that this would be useful.

I think that drumming is wonderful.

It is now about 2:40 P.M. where I am in Oregon. This evening between 6-7 P.M. I will be beating the counsel drum.

Bless us!
Cleanse us!
Clear us!
Heal us!
According to Divine Will

is one chant that we will intone.
we will great the directions as well.

Be blessed and infinite Reki Blessings as well!

Teri Jo,

/*\ Namaste :-}}

- some traditions teach that there are various astral planes

- some more subtle, some more dense

>:-}}

- Shamanic Journeying, to be effective for the Intent of the Journey, can require visiting any number of "planes" of various "densities" (not something that just happens automatically for most)

>:-}}

- I do recommend learning shamanic journeying but with a competent Teacher who will provide the drumming and proper coaching, cues of what one may encounter, and how to respond - then provide the shift in drumming after some minutes to call you back.

- adept Journeyers often do not require the drumming or call-back unless they are doing more advanced work such as soul retrieval (then they may ask for someone to drum for them - in such instances I ask my wife to drum - she also is trained in shamanic techniques and I trust her drumming and intuition on when to do the call-back

- hope this helps

Reiki all around,

all blessings,

Firekeeper

I saw a Black Jaguar when doing an Animal Totem meditation with my spirit group. Really cool. He is not listed in the animal totem books. Did you notice his smile?

BE,
During my experience I did not notice him smile. He did grunt, growl.. The Blue Parrot on his back was silent.
I knew the intenton was for me to follow.....

blessed be...
