The Shamanic Journey

Gerry Starnes, an Austin Texas area shamanic practitioner and teacher, presents fundamental concepts of the shamanic journey practice. The journey is a meditative process to the rhythm of drums, rattles, or other percussive instruments. It is an ancient and powerful way for people to connect with Spirit.

"The shamanic journey is a fundamental shamanic practice that allows people to leave their ordinary reality context and have a structured way to enter into what we think of as the Spirit World or a separate reality system, which is by the way at least as real as the one we are encountering right now. It's not 'made up,' it's not 'imaginary.' One of the things that we learn about with experience and over time is how real it really is.

"Let's talk about what the journey process is and give you an idea of what it looks like and what you might expect to experience on the journey."

The ability to imagine is a very powerful, and possibly uniquely human, ability. All creative endeavors begin with imagination, the ability to step outside of the programming and doubt. Do not believe that what you imagine is not real. It is bursting with potential. "It's not real; it's just your imagination" is among the worst things parents tell their children because it encourages them not to Dream.
