While both astral projection and shamanic journeying offer gateways to non-ordinary realities, their approaches diverge. Astral projection emphasizes a complete separation, where you envision yourself rising above your body and venturing out as a distinct energetic being. Shamanic journeying, however, delves deeper within. Think of it as an expansion of consciousness, a heightened state where you interact with the unseen world while still retaining a subtle connection to your physical form. This inner landscape becomes a powerful tool for communication. You might encounter spirit guides, animal allies, or hidden aspects of yourself – all presented symbolically within the journey itself.

The focus here isn't on replicating the physical act of travel, but on receiving messages and gaining insights. It's a form of collaborative exploration with the spirit world, fostering healing and guidance. While the imagery might sometimes resemble a vivid dream, the power of shamanic journeying lies in its ability to connect with deeper truths and realities that transcend the limitations of the physical mind.

I do teach private instruction on Shamanic Journeying at the studio.
